Newsypeople- Dean McDermott, a father of six and the estranged husband of Tori Spelling, is currently facing relationship struggles with his eldest son, Jack McDermott. The actor and his ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace, were married from 1993 to 2006, and Dean went on to marry Spelling in the same year. The couple has five children together: Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7.
Jack McDermott, 25, recently shared his perspective on the situation, stating that he and his father are currently estranged. However, he expressed that both he and his father are in a “really great place” in their lives, suggesting that a reconciliation is not a priority for him in the foreseeable future. Jack made these comments at the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center West Hollywood grand opening, alongside his mother, Mary Jo Eustace.
Jack’s comments come nearly two years after he defended Dean and Tori against negative comments shared by his mother, Mary Jo Eustace. In a since-deleted December 2022 Instagram post, Jack wrote, “Please respect me, and my blended family. Please avoid creating any additional strain on our family dynamic. These past few years have been nothing but peace and happiness, and I ask that we continue to try and keep it that way”.
In the wake of Dean and Tori Spelling’s divorce, which was announced in June 2023, Jack expressed his support for his five half-siblings, hoping that Tori Spelling can be the best mother she can be for them. He also noted that he was “not surprised” by the divorce, having lived with Dean and Tori for a year and having been in San Francisco for five years before moving to L.A. Jack added that if Dean finds happiness with his new romantic partner, Lily Calo, that’s what matters most.
Both Dean and Spelling have since moved on with new romantic partners, Lily Calo and Ryan Cramer, respectively. Eustace and Jack have not met Lily, and Jack expressed that if she makes Dean happy, that’s all that matters. For now, Jack and Eustace are focusing on their future away from reality TV.
This situation highlights the complexities of family dynamics, especially in the public eye, and the personal decisions individuals make regarding their relationships and priorities.
