Spelling has requested the court to award her spousal support and terminate McDermott’s ability to receive the same support, and their official date of separation listed as June 17, 2023.

The actress also asked for sole physical custody of their five minor children —Liam Aaron McDermott, 17,Stella Doreen, 15,Hattie Margaret, 12,Finn Davey, 11 andBeau Dean, 7 — and joint legal custody with McDermott’s visitation rights to be determined at a later date.

The filing did not indicate if the former couple had a prenuptial agreement in place. Spelling also stated that the nature and extent of their respective properties have yet to be determined.

Back in June 2023, on the same day listed as the date of separation between the estranged pair, McDermottannouncedthat the couple had decided to go their separate ways in a statement that was later deleted from his Instagram.

“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own,” he wrote at the time.

In recent months, both Spelling and McDermott have both moved on. McDermott is seeing new girlfriendLily Calo, while Spelling wasspotted kissing Ryan Cramer, the CEO of Santa Monica-based agency Neuron Syndicate Inc., in November.

Despite their new love interests, McDermott toldPage Sixin March that Spelling isstill his “biggest fan”and described her as “caring,” “empathetic” and someone who “wants the best for everybody” sometimes “at the expense of her happiness.”
