KEY POINTS

  • Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott recently had a "fight" after he "went missing" for two days following an argument, a report claims
  • McDermott allegedly told Spelling he would sue her for alimony and child support if they divorce
  • Spelling refused to address the split rumors when asked during an appearance on "The Wendy Williams Show"

Tori Spelling wants to end her marriage to her husband of 15 years, Dean McDermott, a report has claimed.

After months of fueling split rumors, Spelling, 48, "wants a divorce" from McDermott, 54, to whom she's been married since 2006, "but she feels trapped right now," Us Weekly quoted a source close to the couple as saying.

According to the source, Spelling and McDermott, who share five children — Liam, 14, Stella, 13, Hattie, 10, Finn, 9, and Beau, 4 — recently had a "fight" after the "Pretty Hard Cases" actor "went missing" for two days following an argument.

When he returned, McDermott allegedly told Spelling he was planning on suing her for alimony and child support. The tipster explained that the "90210MG" podcast co-host pointed out that McDermott signed a prenup before they got married, so he wouldn't get any money if they divorce.

However, Spelling recently learned that her husband could still sue her for child support if they end their marriage, and "she went ballistic" and is "pissed" at her lawyers, the insider claimed.

"Money is an issue and it's always been an issue," the source told Us Weekly, calling it another of the reasons Spelling "feels trapped."

The actress allegedly stayed married to McDermott for the sake of their children despite being "miserable," the insider claimed.

Spelling fueled split rumors earlier this month when she was spotted outside a lawyer's office holding a notepad that read "assets," "support" and "custody."

Days after her sighting, she and McDermott were seen at Disneyland with all five of their children. Both stars did not wear their wedding rings at the time, after having already been spotted without the bands on multiple occasions.

Spelling was recently asked about the split rumors during an interview on "The Wendy Williams Show" with a guest host, friend Whitney Cummings. However, Spelling chose to dodge the question.

"What? You know I’m not going to answer that," she was quoted by Page Six as saying.

"Fair enough, fair enough," Cummings replied. "We asked, I love you, this is somebody that has strong boundaries and she’s controlling the narrative, and answers the questions [we] want to ask when she wants to answer them, and I respect that and I love that about you."

Meanwhile, McDermott addressed the reports of Spelling being spotted without her wedding band during a September appearance on the "Feminine Warrior" podcast saying, "It's just weird that people need to know. Why do you need to know that? How is that going to affect your day?"

Explaining why he was photographed without his own wedding ring, McDermott claimed that he took it off while playing a round of golf and lost it when it later fell out of his pocket on the course.
