Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott may be estranged, but their financial ties are still very much intact. And, it’s costing them big. The former couple, who separated in 2023 after 17 years of marriage, are now facing nearly $400,000 in unpaid debt.
Tori, of Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, and Dean, known for Chopped Canada and their joint reality show Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood (among others), are once again making headlines—this time for a loan they never paid off.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott owe a debt of almost $400k

Over the years, Tori and Dean have been noTORIous for their money blunders, despite her parents’ massive wealth. According to Us Weekly, the pair, who filed for divorce in 2024, borrowed $400,000 from City National Bank in 2012. They agreed to repay it with interest. However, things quickly went south.
By 2016, the bank claimed they still owed $188,803.38.
Now, the debt has ballooned to a whopping $395,729.82. $175,000 of that is fees and interest. The most recent filing only names Tori, leaving Dean’s current responsibility unclear. Reps for the duo, as well as attorneys for the bank, haven’t responded to requests for comment.
The debt is just the latest financial hurdle for Tori – who recently had a short run on Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars. Following their split, she and the couple’s five children—Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 8—bounced between a motel, an RV, and various rental homes after discovering dangerous mold in their house.
In late 2023, Tori was hit with tax liens from the State of California for nearly $100,000 in unpaid taxes tied to her Calabasas home.
On her misSPELLING podcast, she poked fun at her financial situation—sort of—saying she might “have to go on OnlyFans” to get all her kids through college. I bet she wishes now that she hadn’t spent hundreds of dollars ogling her friend Denise Richards’ OF content.
