During the process of her divorce, Candy Spelling is providing support to her daughter Tori Spelling.
During her attendance at the MOCA Gala 2024, which took place on Saturday, April 13, at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles, Candy, who is 78 years old, said in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that Tori, who is 50 years old, has depended on her in the wake of her divorce from her husband of 18 years, Dean McDermott.
According to Candy, “Well, she really needed [support],” and she went on to say that it meant “a lot” to her to be able to assist her daughter.
Candy, who had been married to TV producer Aaron Spelling for many decades before to his passing in 2006 at the age of 83, proceeded by saying, “Everything is good.”
A few months after the pair announced their separation in June 2023, Tori made the formal filing for divorce from McDermott, who is 57 years old, in the month of March.
Despite the fact that the Beverley Hills, 90210 actress and her mother have been separated in the past and have had highs and lows in their relationship, a source close to the family recently told People that Candy and Tori were on excellent terms shortly after the news of their separation.
“She has given Tori assurances that she and her kids would absolutely be taken care of and there should be no financial insecurity moving forward,” an insider said of Candy in July 2023. The insider also disclosed that Candy had been getting closer to her grandchildren, including Liam Aaron, who is 17 years old, Stella Doreen, who is 15 years old, Hattie Margaret, who is 12 years old, Finn Davey, who is 11 years old, and Beau Dean, who is 7 years old.
Around the time when Candy was celebrating her birthday in September 2023, Tori sent a tribute to her mother on Instagram.
“You are my love. I feel privileged to be your daughter. Tori’s post included a portion that said, “Some of my most joyful memories involve laughing so hard with you that we were happy crying uncontrollably and you doing your LOL wheeze… 😂.”
You are the reason I am such a robust and powerful human being, and I owe a great deal of that to yourself. Our family is comprised of ladies who are strong and courageous. I am handing it on to you. In conclusion, the caption said that the individual “loved and still loves watching horror films in bed with you.”
