Tori Spelling has opened up about her divorce from husband of 18 years, Dean McDermott.
On the latest episode of her podcast misSPELLING, the actress debunked the rumours surrounding why her and her now ex-husband had slept in separate beds for years prior to their divorce.
She said that the decision to sleep in separate rooms was made three years before the split and that it was “his choice.”

Recent headlines claimed that animals sleeping in the couples bed was what had driven them apart, but Spelling set the record straight.
”Like, he gave an interview saying he stopped sleeping in the bed because of a pig. That is not true,” she explained.

But while it may not have been the reason behind the decision to sleep in separate rooms, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum shared that it did happen – only once though – and that the animal’s previous caretakers had explained that it was just a baby and needed to be cuddled.
“I was just following orders that it was used to snuggling and it needed that for a few nights,” she said. “But then when it peed between us in the bed, he was like, ‘The pig’s leaving the bed.’ And I was like, ‘Understood.’ And that was it. That was the only night the pig was in the bed.”

Spelling took the blame off her her animals and five kids, sharing that it was mostly her decision to sleep with the TV that made McDermott decide he needed his own space.
“I think I had the TV on for distraction, like, to distract from my life. Like, I would just zone out and be entertained, which is what my dad said that’s what he always wanted to do,” Spelling said.
“Like, people have hard days, hard work, hard lives, hard relationships, and it’s all individual. And when they get home, they just kinda wanna zone out and be entertained and taken out of their world, escapism.”
She continued, “So that’s what I was just creating for myself. Because guess what? It’s funny. He’s no longer in my bed. No longer in the marriage.”
