McDermott announced the split in a since-deleted May Instagram post. The couple, who tied the knot in 2006, share fivechildren: daughters Stella, 14, and Hattie, 11, and sons Liam, 16, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6.
“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,” McDermott wrote at the time. “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. 🙏”
