Dean McDermott was spotted holding hands with a mystery woman amid his ongoing drama with Tori Spelling.

McDermott, aged 56, entered the Department of Social Services in West Valley on Tuesday, October 10. He was spotted wearing ripped jeans and a black T-shirt, as seen in the photos published by the Daily Mail on Friday, October 13. Accompanying him was an unnamed woman dressed in a green jumpsuit. The pair were seen standing close together in line, engaged in conversation with another gentleman.

Four months after McDermott's Instagram statement about their split, he made a public appearance. "With deep sadness and a heavy heart, after 18 years together and raising 5 incredible children, @torispelling and I have decided to separate and embark on our separate journeys," McDermott wrote on June 17. "As loving parents, we will continue to work together to guide and love our children during this challenging time. We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate through this and surround our family with love and support. Thank you for your understanding and kindness."

Spelling remained silent regarding the social media statement, but a source informed us that despite the breakup announcement, the couple was "not getting a divorce."

According to the source, they have experienced various challenges like any other couple, but they have been actively addressing their marital issues through couples counseling. Friends speculate that Dean shared the post due to a significant argument with Tori. However, he evidently felt remorseful and consequently deleted it.

Days later, McDermott was seen without his wedding ring as he moved boxes into a storage unit on June 20. During that same week, Spelling made a public appearance wearing a yellow sweatshirt with the phrase, "What the actual f--k is going on?"

McDermott and Spelling got married in 2006, but their relationship was rocked when McDermott cheated on her, as reported by Us in December 2013. The aftermath of the affair was documented on the reality series True Tori in 2014. Despite this, the couple moved forward and had their fifth child, Beau, who is now 6. Beau joins their other children, Liam (16), Stella (15), Hattie (11), Finn (10), and Beau. McDermott also has a son named Jack (24) from his previous marriage to Mary Jo Eustace.
