Meet Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s blended family

Jack, McDermott’s son with his ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace, is Spelling’s only stepson. Born in 1998, Jack was about eight years old when his dad married Spelling. He was shielded from the spotlight (and his dad’s reality TV career ) as a youngster, but that changed as he got older and has become more visible.

At age 17, Jack publicly came out as gay. On his 21st birthday in 2019, Spelling posted a tribute to her stepson on Instagram reflecting on their journey together. “I’ve loved him since he was that little boy that called me Teri and played Polly Pockets with me,” she wrote in a lengthy caption.

“And, then he came out. I was so proud of his confidence. He was who he was and he was proud of it.

And, then we bonded again. ” A post shared by Tori Spelling (@torispelling) In 2022, People reported that Jack called out his mom for putting “strain” on their family in a now-deleted Instagram post. While explaining why McDermott had decided to step away from the podcast he’d hosted with Eustace, called “Ex’s & Uh-Ohs,” Jack said he was “no longer able to stay silent” due to Eustace’s ” decision to spread information about my dad, step mom, and my siblings.

” Per People, Jack wrote in the post that McDermott had spent 17 years atoning for “mistakes he’s made in the past,” seemingly referring to McDermott’s affair with Spelling while he was still married to Eustace, and that McDermott “has grown so much as a person. ” “With this podcast, it has driven a wedge between our two families and created a divide I am not capable of mending. Sadly, I’m not sure it can be,” he continued, according to People.

He went on to request that Eustace “please respect me, and my blended family” and “avoid creating any additional strain on our family dynamic. ” In response, a “source close to Eustace told People that they were sure Eustace was hurt to hear Jack speaking about her negatively. “It was Mary Jo that did 90 percent of the parenting and has been a loving and consistent parent,” the source told People.

“With that said, she respects Jack’s right to express himself. And always will. ” Jack’s most recent Instagram post, from June, reflected on a trip to Nevada.

“RIP to my liver and credit card. Thanks Las Vegas!!!” he wrote, captioning a carousel of photos from his time away. A post shared by JAQUELINE🌹 (@thejackmonty) At the time of their 2005 split, Eustace and McDermott were in the process of adopting a daughter, Lola .

Eustace proceeded with the adoption on her own, and though Lola has no legal ties to McDermott, he’s been involved in her life over the years, even attending her high school graduation in June 2023 . “So proud of this young lady @lolabunny. ace She graduated yesterday!!!!!! Such a Rock Star!! The world is yours!!!” he captioned a carousel of photos featuring himself, Jack and Lola.

” Elsewhere on the podcast, she referred to their blended family as “the more, the merrier. ” At the time, Eustace didn’t comment when reached by People regarding Lola’s living situation. Liam, now 16, was born to Spelling and McDermott on March 13, 2007.

“The moment I knew he was growing inside me my whole life changed. For the better,” Spelling wrote in a tribute to her oldest biological son on his birthday this year. adding that Liam cares for and protects her now that he’s a teen.

“I love your strength, humor, quick wit, eclectic taste, heart, kind soul, and the bond we have as mother and son,” she wrote. A post shared by Tori Spelling (@torispelling) “I look forward to more concerts, drum lessons and laughs with you,” McDermott wrote in his own Instagram tribute to his son . The couple’s first daughter, Stella, was born a little over a year after Liam on June 9, 2008.

According to Spelling’s birthday tribute post for Stella on Instagram in 2022, her eldest daughter is a “Jill of all trades. ” “Your makeup, baking, crocheting, and crafting skills impress me to no end!!” Spelling wrote of Stella. A post shared by Tori Spelling (@torispelling) In an Instagram tribute to his daughter on her 15th birthday in June, McDermott praised Stella as “the kindest, sweetest, caring, creative, giving, and beautiful person I know” and said that she was going to “change the world.

” A post shared by Dean McDermott (@imdeanmcdermott) In January, Spelling revealed that Stella had gone to the ER twice and was diagnosed with a hemiplegic migraine, a rare type of migraine that causes weakness in your muscles before or during a migraine headache. McDermott and Spelling’s next child, a daughter named Hattie, was born on October 10, 2011. Given that she was born during Halloween season, Spelling posted an Instagram video featuring details of Hattie’s spooky festivities for her most recent birthday, which featured sushi, a pinata, and other sweet, scary treats.

We’re basically starting over. ” In an Instagram tribute to Beau on his 6th birthday, Spelling called Beau the “light and soul” that “completes” her family. She described him as kind, smart, and “so darn funny.
