Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling has split from her husband Dean McDermott after 18 years together.
The couple, who got married in 2006, share five children together.
Announcing their split on Instagram, Dean shared a lengthy post with a picture of them together, alongside another with four of their children.
The comedian and dad-of-seven wrote: ‘It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own.
‘We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time.
‘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.’
Tori has yet to publicly address the split, while Dean’s Instagram bio still reads: ‘Married to the love of my life @ToriSpelling.’

Two years ago, when rumours of their marital woes started to circulate, Tori admitted she and Dean slept in separate bedrooms, and hadn’t shared a bed for months.
Sirius XM presenter Jeff Lewis referenced the speculation in an interview, asking her: ‘What is really going on? Are things OK? Because I feel like the last time you were here things were good, you were having sex. Are you guys sleeping in the same bed?’
‘You know what, right now my kids and dogs sleep in my bed,’ she replied.
When asked if Dean is in the guest room, Tori coyly added: ‘He’s in a room.
‘Since he left, this is not good you guys. But since he left, he was gone for six months filming in another country. They all stayed with me.’
She continued: ‘So I currently still have four in the bedroom with me who have yet to go back to their rooms. They have beds in there and two sleep in bed with me. And pets. Three dogs.’
