Photographs of McDermott and Calo first surfaced in October 2023. This is the first time the reality TV star has shared about their relationship on social media.
Spelling has filed for divorce from McDermott, with whom she has sons Liam, 17, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7, as well as daughters Stella, 15, and Hattie, 12. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split on March 29.
McDermott filed his own paperwork on Monday, May 13, providing a different separation date from Spelling. While Spelling stated that they separated on June 17, 2023, McDermott claimed the separation date was July 7, 2023, according to documents obtained by We.
McDermott requested joint physical and legal custody of their five children, while Spelling sought sole custody in her filing.
Spelling discussed her ex-husband's new relationship on her "Misspelling" podcast during a conversation with country singer Sara Evans on April 30. She mentioned that Calo has already met their children.
She told me that my soon-to-be ex has a girlfriend who lives with him and has already met the kids. Surprisingly, I really like her. She is supportive of him, they both keep each other accountable, and they are both sober.
Editor's P/S:
The recent public declaration of Dean McDermott's new relationship with Lily Calo has garnered mixed reactions. While some are supportive of the couple, others may have lingering questions about the nature of their relationship, given McDermott's recent separation from his ex-wife, Tori Spelling. The fact that Calo has already met McDermott's children adds another layer of complexity to the situation. It remains to be seen how this new relationship will impact the ongoing divorce proceedings between McDermott and Spelling.
It is important to note that Spelling has expressed her approval of the relationship, stating that she likes Calo and believes that she is a positive influence on McDermott. This suggests that Spelling may be prioritizing the well-being of her children and putting aside any personal feelings she may have about her ex-husband's new partner. Ultimately, the most important consideration should be the happiness and stability of all parties involved, including the children.
