Dean McDermott has disclosed in court filings that Tori Spelling’s monthly income ranges from $3,000 to $75,000, while he revealed over $215,000 in debt and his own modest earnings from a counseling job. The income and expense declaration was submitted on September 5, 2025, as part of their ongoing divorce proceedings, providing a detailed financial overview.
Spelling’s income is highly variable, depending on her acting roles and other professional engagements, with McDermott alleging it can fluctuate significantly month to month. This variability underscores the unpredictable nature of careers in the entertainment industry, where earnings are often project-based and inconsistent.
McDermott reported an average monthly income of approximately $3,800 from his position as an alcohol and drug counselor at the Conscious Community & Vanity Recovery rehabilitation center. He stated that he has not earned any income from acting or producing in the past year, attributing this to the impact of SAG-AFTRA strikes and broader industry changes that have reduced opportunities.
The filing also detailed McDermott’s substantial debt burden, totaling $215,700. This includes overdue payments on a $200,000 loan from City National Bank, credit card debts of $12,000 to Care Credit and $2,500 to Capital One, as well as a $1,200 dental bill that remains unpaid. These financial obligations add to the couple’s history of monetary struggles.
McDermott lives with his girlfriend, Lily Calo, who has a monthly income of around $600. However, he noted that her earnings do not contribute to their shared living expenses, which amount to $3,980 per month. This arrangement is part of the financial picture presented in the documents.
Regarding custody, McDermott indicated that Spelling has physical custody of their four minor children 90% of the time. He has visitation rights with their youngest son, Beau, on the first, third, and fifth weekends of each month. The couple has five children together, with their eldest son being 18 years old.
This financial revelation comes amid a backdrop of past issues, including lawsuits from City National Bank for a $400,000 loan default and tax liens, which Spelling has previously addressed by denying bankruptcy claims. Despite these challenges, the divorce proceedings have been described as amicable.
The new disclosures are expected to influence the divorce settlement, particularly concerning spousal support and the division of debts. As the legal process continues, further details may emerge regarding their final arrangements and the impact on both parties’ financial futures.
