Tori Spelling is taking the time to be present and appreciate life after she was involved in a automobile crash together with her kids and within the wake of her ex Patrick Muldoon’s premature death.
“You have got to rejoice it,” Spelling, 52, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, May 1, while attending Calamigos Ranch Resort & Spa’s Leading Hotels of the World accreditation celebration. “And I believe life’s too short, and we’re all realizing that currently. So, yeah, you’ve got to rejoice day-after-day. “
Us previously confirmed that Spelling and 7 children in her vehicle were hospitalized after being involved in a automobile accident. 4 of her kids and three of their friends were transported in three separate ambulances, in keeping with the actress’ rep. (Spelling shares Liam, 19, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 9, with ex-husband Dean McDermott. McDermott also shares Jack, 25, with ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace.)
“On April 2, 2026, at 5:44 p.m., deputies were dispatched to the 28000 block of Rancho California Road regarding a vehicle collision,” the Riverside Sheriff’s Department said in a press release provided to Us on the time. “Upon arrival, deputies situated two vehicles with collision damage. All occupants were medically evaluated on the scene.”
The 90210 star broke her silence days later, calling the crash and aftermath “really overwhelming.”

“We’re so grateful and so lucky since it might have been a lot worse,” Spelling said in a video shared via social media on April 7. “Guardian angels were definitely with us that day because in a split second I looked and saw he was going to full on impact into the side of our automobile. And I turned hard left as hard as I could, as fast as I could, to avoid as much impact on the youngsters as possible. He spun us out.”
Weeks later, Days of Our Lives actor Muldoon died on April 19 following a heart attack. Spelling remembered her ex, who she met on a blind date, in a touching social media post.
“This post took me a pair days,” Spelling, 52, wrote via Instagram on April 21. “I wasn’t ready to write down because then it felt real. And, this shouldn’t be real. @thepatrickmuldoon and I met on a blind date. Which thankfully wasn’t a blind date in any respect because we were each on a television series. Like every other girl on the planet I crushed on his character Austin from Days of Our Lives. Unsure I ever disclosed that to him.”
She continued, “What I met and ultimately fell in love w/ was not only a stupendous on the skin creature but essentially the most beautiful soul. He was special and one in every of a form. The kindest most caring human w/ raddest weird humorousness. We got one another! Laughed lots ! I laughed w/him and at him and he loved it. Was multi talented. Keen about all the things he did.”
On Friday, Spelling told Us that despite her recent hardship and loss, she is looking forward to the longer term.
“Well, I can wait on this one but sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner or later, I can’t wait to grow our family and be a grandma and a fantastic grandma,” she explained. “We had a small family growing up. I obviously have an enormous family now. I’ve seen through my older kids finding their partners and attending to know their family.”
Tori Spelling has lots of feelings about being single. “I just began having a therapy in a very very long time, and I just began with a brand new therapist,” Spelling, 51, said through the Friday, April 4, episode of her “Misspelling” podcast, where she chatted with friend and guest Aubrey O’Day. “We’re going all back […]
She added, “I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I see the longer term’ and it’s not right away, but I can’t wait to be that grandma and great grandma, and have so many grandchildren and babies running around and cooking for them and celebrating life with them.”
Within the more immediate future, the actress says she’s looking forward to celebrating Mother’s Day together with her children.
“Just being with my babies and doing what they need to do,” she added.
