The Real Story: While Spelling and her husband, actor Dean McDermott, have starred in myriad over the years, there's little evidence that McDermott has turned down work like his fictional counterpart. The couple has, however, had its fair share of troubles—financial or otherwise—over the years, though Spelling stresses that her hubby is nothing like Nate. "He's my biggest supporter, so he's nothing like my husband on the show," she said on Daily Pop this week. "But we were trying to set up that dynamic of someone that has a big career, what happens when a woman is at home with the kids for a while and now she's becoming powerful again?" In real life, they share five children, not six, ranging in ages from 12 to 2. And considering she and Garth are credited as co-creators with whom the idea for BH90210 originated, the bit about Tori spearheading the faux revival is true to life, as well.
Oh, and about losing her virginity to BAG? While she did admit on Lifetime's Celebrity Lie Detector in 2015 that she slept with the erstwhile David Silver, she told Daily Pop's Morgan Stewart, "That one is not true."
"My husband asked me the same question the other day after he watched the show. I'm not kidding," she added. "I was like, 'Well, there's some things that are heightened. Little threads of truth. And some things, completely fictionalized.'"
