Dean McDermott Drops Off Girlfriend at Airport in a Display of Affection
Dean McDermott, the estranged husband of Tori Spelling, was recently seen at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) showcasing his affection for his new girlfriend, Lily Calo, in a heartwarming manner.
In a sign of his growing fondness for Lily, the 56-year-old actor braved the infamous LAX traffic to drop her off at the airport this past Tuesday. Clad in a smart leather jacket and jeans with chain detailing, Dean demonstrated his adoration by helping unload Lily's luggage from the back of his vehicle.
Once her belongings were safely out of the car, the couple shared a loving embrace and exchanged a few final kisses before Lily's flight. This amorous display came in the wake of our exclusive report on their budding romance, as we captured them hand in hand on their way to the Department of Social Services West Valley in Chatsworth.
Notably, Dean appeared to be wearing his wedding band, though now on his right hand rather than the left. It's a remarkable turn of events for the actor, who less than a year ago was living with multi-millionaire Tori Spelling in Hidden Hills, alongside illustrious neighbors such as the Kardashians and Jenners.
Fast forward to today, and Dean is living in a San Fernando Valley rental home with four male roommates. He was even pictured standing in line at a government welfare office. It appears that the cash-strapped Canadian has fallen on hard times following his separation from Spelling in June.
Lily, on the other hand, works as a senior account executive at Conscious Community Global in LA. The couple was seen together earlier this month at a health and human services organization, where they are apparently collaborating on a project with the 'creative development team.' This marks an intriguing twist in Dean's life, considering his previous circumstances.
We're left with questions about how they met and the duration of their relationship, but these two individuals seem to be crafting their own unique path forward. Lily, a New Jersey native, formerly served as the gallery director and co-founder of Canvas in Austin, Texas, before moving to Los Angeles. Her journey is a testament to the power of art and self-discovery, as she once said, "I knew one way I could do this would be through the arts, but felt I was not an artist in any traditional sense. I eventually discovered my art was within writing and that reading ironically brought me out of my shell."
Dean and Tori's turbulent marriage showed signs of ending in June when the actor announced their split on social media. In addition to their marital issues, they had grappled with financial woes, accumulating significant debt and facing lawsuits from credit card companies. Tori had attributed their financial troubles to her 'bad shopping habits.'
Once living in one of Los Angeles's grandest homes, their story took a dramatic turn when Tori left her first husband, Charlie Shanian, to marry Dean in 2005. Despite her father Aaron Spelling's vast wealth, his will granted her only $800,000 of his $600 million fortune upon his passing.
During the peak of their extravagant spending, Tori and Dean were paying $16,000 monthly for a lavish estate in Ventura County. It was Tori's mother, Candy Spelling, who stepped in to cover their 'necessities' as their finances dwindled.
While Candy continues to provide support to her daughter, it appears that Dean is now managing his finances on his own. The recent SAG-AFTRA strike has likely limited acting opportunities, and his other endeavors, such as stand-up comedy and cooking, have failed to gain traction.
Dean's past marriage to Canadian TV host Mary Jo Eustace resulted in a divorce, and they share a son, Jack McDermott. Tori and Dean married in 2006, filing for divorce earlier this year. They are parents to five children: Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau.
The airport farewell between Dean and Lily, with its public display of affection, suggests that the actor is embracing a new chapter in his life as he navigates the complexities of love and finance.
