00:00 Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling have been making strides since their 2023 split.
00:04 In the new issue of Us Weekly, a source tells us,
00:06 "There were growing pains in the beginning, and things are getting healthier."
00:10 Now, in November, Dean revealed his addiction issues had led to the demise of his 18-year marriage,
00:15 and that same month, Us Weekly reported that the actor hadn't seen his five kids since June.
00:21 Now, after completing a 40-day rehab stint over the summer, Dean is in contact with his children.
00:27 A source tells us, "Tori is treading lightly, but as long as Dean remains committed to sobriety,
00:32 Tori will continue to allow more access to the family."
00:35 Though neither has taken legal steps to end their marriage, a source does tell us that it will happen eventually.
00:41 They add, "Tori and Dean are figuring out how to deal with their split.
00:45 Everything is complicated due to financial constraints, but they're very much separated."
00:50 In the meantime, they both have moved on, with Tori being linked to ad exec Ryan Kramer in late 2023,
00:56 and Dean is with his girlfriend, Lily Kallo.
