The actress from Beverly Hills, 90210 filed for divorce after nearly 18 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Spelling’s petition indicates that they have been separated since June 17. She is seeking sole physical custody and joint legal custody of their three sons and two daughters, aged 7 to 17.
Physical custody pertains to where the children primarily reside, while legal custody involves decisions regarding their major life matters.
Back in 2016, Spelling shared about the efforts to salvage their marriage, stating, «We’re not just still here, but we’re bonded and solidified as a couple.» She emphasized the need to start anew and rebuild their relationship. Additionally, during an August 2020 interview, Spelling delved into the scandal, sharing her «biggest fear» concerning their relationship.
«I was like, he’s going to cheat on me, he’s going to cheat on me, he’s going to cheat on me,» she explained. «So when it happened, I was like, ’See, I always thought from day one he was going to cheat on me,’ and it wasn’t about him, that was about me. I was like, ’Okay, I know I’m not good enough,’ that’s how I felt about myself and one day he’s going to realize that, and he’s gonna find someone else.»
