Tori Spelling admits she’s struggling during her first ‘single mom Christmas’ after Dean McDermott split

Tori Spelling is figuring out how to navigate the holidays as a single mom following her split from estranged husband Dean McDermott.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum got candid about the struggles of last-minute Christmas shopping for her five kids in a vulnerable rant shared on her Instagram Story Friday.

“It’s December 22 and I officially bought my first gift for Christmas,” she wrote. “5 Christmas lists to tackle. 3 days to do [it.]”

Spelling said she “missed the Amazon Prime cut off” for online shopping and has to resort to in-person shopping.

“Now I’ll have to brave the mall alone. Crushing this single mom Christmas 2023 😂,” she added.

The “Due South” alum announced his divorce from the actress after 17 years of marriage in June.

“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children,” he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, adding he will work with Spelling to co-parent their kids.

McDermott opened up about the statement last month, revealing he posted it in a desperate attempt to escape Spelling after their “drunk and angry” fight led to his suicide attempt.

He told the Daily Mail that he took “six or seven” sleeping pills in hopes of never waking up.

“It was the night that I raged against her and the children and I saw the light, the final flicker of the flame go out in her eyes,” he said.

“I posted that because I was at the end of my rope. I didn’t know what to do. I had burned everything down yet again.”

Shortly after posting the breakup post, he deleted it, which led to him taking more Ambien.

“I was literally at my wit’s end. That night, I was drinking and I was into my pills,” he continued.

“Now I’ll have to brave the mall alone. Crushing this single mom Christmas 2023 😂,” she continued. imdeanmcdermott/Instagram

McDermott further revealed God wanted him to wake up and he “would’ve ruined so many lives if I had died.”

The actor is now sober after entering rehab but hasn’t seen his estranged wife or their kids since shortly after the incident.

At the time, Spelling and her kids were forced to move out of their rental home as a result of a mold issue.

The fiasco led to the “Scary Movie” actress spending a week at a $100-a-night motel with her five children before the family moved to an RV park.

Moreover, recently, Spelling has been determined to find a home and was photographed touring properties in Los Angeles in October.
