Inside Stella McDermott’s Milestone 18th Year

In her tribute, Spelling reflected openly on their bond and the personal growth they experienced together over nearly two decades in the spotlight.

“My baby is 18 today…she will always be my Buggy. In this one lifetime so far, we have loved, lived, lost, and learned. It’s been a true honor so far to watch you grow and evolve and inspire all around you.”

She emphasized that their connection transcends typical Hollywood parenting dynamics, writing directly to Stella: “You are kind and courageous. You are strong and soft. I’m so proud to be your mom, and we are true proof that moms and daughters can be best friends.”

How Tori Spelling Navigates Blended Family Life and Co-Parenting

Stella is the second child and eldest daughter of the five children Spelling shares with ex-husband Dean McDermott. The former couple announced their separation in 2023, officially finalizing their divorce with a clean break that prioritized their kids above all else.

A widespread public misconception surrounding celebrity divorces is that high-profile splits inevitably descend into bitter financial warfare and fractured households. Spelling addressed this head-on during an episode of her misSpelling podcast on the iHeartRadio network, detailing how both parents worked to defy that stereotype.

“Dean and I came out of this divorce with a clean slate. Neither of us asked each other for anything. We walked away as two complete parties that are just there to support, love, raise and set a great example of how families can divorce, uncouple and lead by example and still be there for their family.”

Spelling explained that maintaining respect was critical to shielding their five children from unnecessary friction.

“Our kids are most important,” Spelling noted on the podcast. “And it makes me sad to think that so many marriages are not in a good place. And it’s sad to think that the human that you started this beautiful, fairy tale-esque dream… and people walk away, and they hate each other. And I feel beyond blessed that I have the opposite of that.”
