Dean McDermott performs at a charity event days after announcing separation from wife Tori Spelling
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Dean McDermott stepped out and performed for the fans at a charity event in the town. The artist has been closely associated with ‘We Got This,’ as he took out time even when he was going through personal struggles. The group’s website says, “a community of giving and receiving that helps cancer thrivers and supporters live their best lives.”
McDermott, who recently posted that he and wife Tori Spelling are separating, supports the organization and even shaved his head last year. The Canadian star joined charity’s founder Elissa Kalver, “I shaved my head to raise awareness and support for my friend and Warrior @elissakalver who is kicking cancers ASS!! Cancer touches everyone’s life. Let’s help make everyones cancer journey a little easier. #wegotthis #f—cancer,” he captioned his Instagram post back in September.
A few weeks ago, the star shared over his social media handle that he is separating from his longtime partner, as the two mutually end 18 years old marriage.

'We will continue to work together...'
"It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and five amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own," McDemott wrote while sharing multiple photographs of himself and Spelling with their kids. He talked about what kind of relationship he will now have with his ex, “We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time."
He continued, "We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you all for your support and kindness.”
'He can’t take it anymore'
Though he deleted the post later, a source claimed that he did so at the request of his estranged wife. “[He] 100 percent wants to get out of the marriage. He took down the post because Tori didn’t want him to keep it up. But he’s packing his bags and is 100 percent serious about it,” the source said. Adding, “He can’t take it anymore. He told her he’s done.”
Anther Insider told People, many of their close friends were surprised after the announcement, “Their friends have seen their ups and downs through the years, but they really did seem to be in a good place in recent months. This feels really out of the blue."
