Shanian filed for divorce from the actress in 2005 and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason. Shanian even requested spousal support from the Beverly Hills actress. Although Spelling expressed disappointment over Charlie's decision to end things legally.

It was later revealed that she had entered an illicit relationship with her Mind Over Murder co-star, Dean McDermott, her current husband.   

An insider revealed that the actress and her then-husband had separated long before Shanian filed for divorce. What made the entanglement even more explosive was the fact that McDermott was also married at the time, and with a child.  

Spelling and McDermott successfully abandoned their spouses to be with each other. Despite their divorce being finalized in April 2006, the drama went on as Shanian put forth the whole story in a GQ essay in 2007.  

Spelling may not have an extensive experience in dating, but the one crossover was enough to taint the actress. Tori also reportedly dated her Beverly Hills,90210 co-star, Brian Austin Green, for a year, from 1990 to 1991.
