Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott navigate their post-split relationship, striving to maintain civility despite being spotted spending time with new partners

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have both embarked on new relationships, however, their own relationship has deteriorated.

According to an exclusive insider in the latest issue of We, they are currently in a somewhat strained situation and are making an effort to maintain a cordial demeanor. The source also reveals that McDermott, aged 56, is not supportive of Spelling's new romance, believing that she is seeking attention through it.

Spelling, aged 50, was recently seen engaging in passionate moments with her new boyfriend, Ryan Cramer, in Los Angeles. According to a source who spoke to Us earlier this month, Tori met Ryan through work a few months ago and found him to be charming and attractive. Despite people pointing out the resemblance between Ryan and her ex-husband Dean, Tori is genuinely thrilled about their new relationship.

Another inside source informs Us that Spelling is thoroughly enjoying her time with Cramer, who works in the advertising industry. The source reveals that Ryan brings a sense of revitalization and happiness into Tori's life, unlike anything she has experienced in a long time. The toxicity that plagued her relationship with Dean had caused her to exist in a state of confusion and emotional fog.

In June, McDermott made an announcement about his separation from Spelling, bringing an end to their 17-year marriage. McDermott expressed his profound sadness and heaviness in his heart in an Instagram post, stating that after spending 18 years together and having five incredible children, he and Spelling had decided to embark on different paths. He emphasized their commitment as loving parents, pledging to guide and support their children through this challenging period. McDermott and Spelling requested privacy as they navigate through this time and surround their family with love.

Spelling and McDermott got married in 2006 and have five children together: Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6. McDermott also has a son named Jack, 25, from a previous marriage to Mary Jo Eustace.

After initially posting about their separation, McDermott deleted the post. However, he has since been seen with Lily Calo. Last month, the couple was photographed kissing at LAX airport in Los Angeles. This week, they were seen showing affection during a coffee trip in L.A.

"There was a realization that things were coming to an end with Tori, and as a result, Dean McDermott and Calo, 32, crossed paths while collaborating on a project," revealed an informed source to Us last month. Another source emphasized that McDermott and Spelling are currently "separated, allowing Dean the freedom to date whoever he pleases."
