Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are "really amicable" with each other amid their divorce.

The 51-year-old actress had been married to reality star Dean, 57, for 17 years when they called it quits in June 2023 over "irreconcilable differences", but she has insisted that while a lot of people assume celebrity divorces are "ugly", that is simply not the case for her.

She told People: "We're really amicable. I know in Hollywood people think divorces have to be ugly, ours are not. We co-parent really well, we're good friends, and he's one of my biggest supporters."

But the former 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star - who has Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn, 12, and seven-year-old Beau with Dean - was then asked about how she manages motherhood with her career,and admitted that it is "not easy" but she can rely on the older ones to step up to the plate.

She added: "It's not easy. "But hey, we all do it. My kids are really supportive.The older ones take care of the little one now, so it's a built-in kind of community in our household.

Tori also revealed that the "hardest" time for her was when she was competing on 'Dancing with the Stars' earlier this year and has now found that everything after that has been relatively "easy" after she stuck to the gruelling schedule for the ABC competition series.

She said: "But the hardest was being away when I was doing 'Dancing with the Stars', because that was full time every day, five hours a day and just all-consuming. So everything else is easy after that.

"I'm just back to being a mom now. They're glad I can be their Uber driver and pick them up at all times now, I don't have to go to dance."
