Tori Spelling announces her fourth pregnancy, five months after giving birth

Tori Spelling is knocked up! AGAIN. For the fourth time, if you can believe it. So what makes this pregnancy special? Tori and Dean McDermott’s last child, Hattie, was just born last October. And… Tori is probably three months along right now. Which means Tori got pregnant, like, as soon as the doctors told her it was okay to have sex with her husband. Remember when that happened to Britney Spears? Jaden and Sean Preston are only a year apart – and now baby Hattie and her little sister or brother will only be 11 months younger.

Well, that was fast!

Five months after giving birth, Tori Spelling has announced some big news: she’s expecting again.

“Dean, Liam, Stella, Hattie, and I are beyond thrilled to announce that another little McDermott is on the way,” she writes on her website in a blog post titled “Baby Makes 6!” “We feel truly blessed that another angel has found us. Love, Tori xoxo.”

Spelling, 38, welcomed her youngest daughter Hattie in Oct. 2011. She and husband Dean McDermott, 45, are also parents to son Liam, 5, and daughter Stella, 3.

Along with the message, Spelling posted a photo of her bare stomach, which her children are touching.

[From People]

Well, congratulations to Tori and Dean. They just keep going and going. Even you Tori-haters have to admit it – you never expected Dean to stick it out this long, did you? They might have started under funky circumstances, but… I have to say, I’ve always gotten the impression that Dean really loves her. Shocking. And they’re going to have four children (under the age of 6) to show for it.

    It may be time for them to find a new hobby.

    She is 38. I guess the pregnancy was either an OOPS or they wanted to have one so quickly. I go for the oops. But I don’t get why people get so judgmental over other people having big families. Calling it ugly things like collecting children or breeding. That is just nasty. I come from a family of 5. It was a crazy home and the best time for us all. Some people want big families. Others can only envision only a couple of kids. My take is if you don’t have to support the family and they can take care of their children it’s no one’s business.

    but too many people actually think they have a say in how someone builds their family. That is just WOW cray cray.

    • spawn_of_roni_raygun says:

      I could not agree more (and I also vote for a big oops).

    • smitten says:

      Actually I had read that once they got pregnant with the third they instantly knew they wanted a 4th, but that they are probably stopping at 4. So sounds pre-planned to me.

    • Aura says:

      Hello, I’m the Overpopulation. I’m sure you haven’t heard of me before but nice to meet you.

    • ol cranky says:

      I’m thinking planned and that it was planned for two reasons:
      #1 Tori loves the limelight and this pregnancy keeps her in it
      #2 Tori’s said she’s concerned that Dean could stray just like how he left his wife and young child for her so each baby may be a way to keep him tied even more closely to her

      • Cooper Lucy says:

        For safety’s sake, it’s easier to have four than three. They can pair up on amusement park rides for instance.

      • Snowangel says:

        This is the reason Angelina has so many kids. It was easy for Brad to leave Jennifer because they had zero kids, very little guilt. The more the kids the more the guilt.

      • thetruthhurts says:

        or #3 they actually are really in love and want a big family. Anyone who watches their show can see it.

      • Carolyn says:

        Showing off another pregnancy and children is the only way Tori gets publicity (as does Jessica Alba). If Dean left her she’d get him for more money for each child. Dean? He’s there for the Spelling $$$$. He’s not going to trade down.

    • kiki says:

      Some people care because this planet is already unsustainable for all of the people currently living on it so just imagine if every couple has three or four kids or more (Duggar family for instance).
      It’s just irresponsible.
      Adopt or just have two, one to replace yourself and your spouse.

      • anjessa says:

        Overpopulation is only a problem in regions like Africa and Southeast Asia. All industrial nations are in need of a higher birth rate. Currently, every women in the US has two children on average. That means that without migration, U.S. population would stay approximately the same. The situation here is not as bad as in Europe, where the birth rate is so low that many experts predict that the pension system of many countries will become impossible to finance.
        Sure, adoption is a possibility, but that is a complicated process that takes years. The whole thing is a little bit more complex than saying “country A has too many children, country B has too little, let’s just transfer children from A to B”. Especially because the needs of the children (who lose contact to their origins if they’re taken away to another part of the world) should be considered. So….I don’t really see how that is a reason to slam her.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      In the old days (before the 80s) anything less than 6 was small. Now more than 2 is huge.

      To be honest, this just bugs me because I never liked her. We all know theuome poor actress lost the role of Donna Martin because of her.

      Normally 4 is not enough to bug me. I think 6 is my pressure point but here – ENOUGH! GROSS! GO AWAY!

  3. the original bellaluna says:

    Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, UGH!

    • Seymour Butts says:

      Yep! A brood mare and her talentless, hanger-on husband 🙂 By the way, I don’t like the way everyone’s copied your name. YOU are the Original … all the other “originals,” Kate and Tiffany, are phonies, lol.

    • brin says:

      I’ll add an ugh. Mornin Bella!

  4. Maya says:

    I know that she’s had a lot of cosmetic procedures, but what is it with the fascination with fillers?
    They make one look like a hive of hornets have just attacked.
    Quite distorting. I almost didn’t recognise her from the main photograph.

    • bns says:

      Yeah, her face is HUGE.

      • Veronica says:

        Well, in her defense, she did just have a baby six months agao and is already three months preggos with the next… I think my face might be just a little swollen looking too. Pregnancy is actually a contraindication for fillers and botox…

      • bns says:

        Yeah that would explain the bloating, but her face is huge regardless. It always has been.

        No matter. Congrats to her on her pregnancy.

    • thetruthhurts says:

      It’s not fillers. Tori is prone to a bloated face while pregnant. Happened with all the kids. Sadly, she is not a beautiful pregnant woman.

  5. Jayna says:

    Not planned. A baby, two little ones, pregnant, the breadwinner. I predict depression in the future or huge pressure on the marriage. They had a lot of problems before her third pregnancy. I see more problems ahead.

  6. Poppy says:

    Hope she picks a better name for this one.

  7. Marjalane says:

    I feel bad for the third child, that baby is going to get screwed in the attention/nurturing phase. I hope she has A LOT of good quality help in her house. By the way, I think her freeloader husband looks like a guy who’s balls are always carried in one of Tory’s gigantic purses. Or the diaper bag.

  8. Hautie says:

    Tori had mention several times in the last year that she wanted to have one more. She wanted 4 kids. So this is not a surprise.

    I tend to suspect she decided to do it now, while she could pregnant again without issue. No matter how the media wants to sell it. Getting pregnant in your late 30’s is not easy.

    But it is easy to get pregnant again quickly… following a recent birth. Even in your late 30’s. So this was probably planned.

  9. cupidityrox says:

    This is all she has going for her now.. Keep popping them out to stay relevant..

  10. Original Lucy says:

    wow…in that pic of the kids hands on her belly, she looks farther along than 3 months…man, are they fertile! oh well, congrats to the family!

    • SW says:

      Pretty sure that when she was preggo with Hattie…at like 9 months.

      • Original Lucy says:

        lol…thanks…I was thinking maybe Hattie had a twin that nobody noticed and that they left in Tori…lol

      • Samigirl says:

        Uhh, no, Hattie’s hand is on her belly. That’s a new picture!

        “Along with the message, Spelling posted a photo of her bare stomach, which her children are touching. “

    • Original Lucy says:

      @Samigirl – well, if that is the case I am gonna say that when Tori popped out hattie, dean was so happy he jumped up on the delivery table and made this new baby…lol…

  11. Luls says:

    I always find it fascinating when siblings are LESS than 1 year apart but they’re not twins.
    It’s a beautiful thing….
    (but I can’t imagine it’s fun for the mother to have to go through 2 pregnancies, 2 deliveries and toddler care practically simultaneously)

    Oh well, I’m sure they have great help!
    Congrats to them! 🙂

    PS: to all those being rude & calling her offensive terms and saying this couple are child hoarders, STFU and mind ur own business!

    4 kids HARDLY qualifies as a huge family. it’s totally within the normal range.

    • Jess says:

      I agree, these same people will scream for women’s/reproductive rights yet throw shade at a woman who has more than their ideal number. It’s nobodies’ fucking business. They provide for their family, they can have 10 for all I care. 3 is a good number by my perspective but I would hate for someone to tell me that since I already have 1 boy and 1 girl that I am “overpopulating” the world. Get a grip people.

    • Claire78 says:

      Thank you! Just about to have my 4th child next month. Always wanted 4 and came from a family of 4 children so its very normal to me – anything less seems small. You shouldn’t have to justify the amount of children you have – although that family with 19 or something is a bit crazy. You can’t seem to win either way – my friend only wanted 1 and gets grief about how sad it is for an only child. I am the only one of my siblings to have kids so figure I have breed one for each of us. Good on Tori and Dean! If they can afford the kids its nothing to do with anyone else.

      • DrM says:

        I have four kids of my own, come from a family of four – and I pay all my own bills, and have raised good, productive people. And my husband’s a fab step-dad. SO…I couldn’t agree more with the above. Part of women’s ‘right’ is not only access to birth control and abortions but the right to have as many kids as you can support and raise. Good on Tori and Dean. Kids rock! I’m all for women having say over their reproductive systems in whatever form that say may take…

    • Kay_la says:

      My sister and I are less than a year apart. My mom always said it was easier with things like potty training because we did it at the same time. Anything I did my sister wanted to do so it was very much like having twins. I wouldn’t change how close in age we are.

  12. T Smith says:

    The only thing that bothers me is the comment…and baby makes 6 – does she always have to leave out her stepson? Dean has a son from his first marriage. Whether he lives with them or not, he is a member of her family. Baby makes 7.

    • lucy2 says:

      Bothers me too, and didn’t he have TWO children with his first wife? I vaguely recall that they had just adopted a daughter right around the time he took off.

  13. jc126 says:

    This makes my crotch hurt a bit to think about, but otherwise, why not just have another one soon? It’s not like they cant’ afford them, and I don’t think they’re Duggar-esque kooks, either.

  14. Sugar says:

    Tori announced we are going to have a baby it must have been confusing as heck for Hattie who was probably thinking ‘whoa what wait no I’m the baby! when Hattie is old enough she will be like don’t be speaking for me I don’t recall being beyond thrilled.
    Stupid talk aside I’m thinking Hattie and baby 4 will be as close as (no we arent but if we were twin) can be growing up.

  15. dahlianoir says:

    They can afford it so why not. Adoption would have been a beautiful gesture but to each its own.

    • Jayna says:

      Come on. It isn’t like this pregnancy was planned. Not that they would have adopted anyway.

  16. Cleveland Girl says:

    She just doesn’t feel like losing all her baby weight. I did the same thing!

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

      TS looks better with the baby weight so hope she doesn’t crash diet after the birth, the weight fills her face out and gives her a nicer figure than when she is so skinny.

  17. Alix says:

    May the father’s DNA always be in their favor.

  18. Jennifer12 says:

    I don’t think three or four kids is a big deal, but this is Dean’s FIFTH child. And when the reality shows dry up, where will they be? I haven’t seen any acting offers. That aside, Tori reminds me of a relative who *has* to always have a baby around, and who tends to feel filled up by being a mother. The thing is, you’re supposed to fill the kids up, not the other way around. There’s an odd, desperate vibe to her constant being pregnant or giving birth. Kind of like Heidi Klum and Seal who never really got a chance to know each other before having child after child in quick succession. The closest I can think of is I pick up on them not really knowing what to do with each other, not having a ton in common, not really knowing each other when they started their relationship and having their son so quickly after they married….. There’s a different vibe from the Beckhams, who also have four kids. I can’t explain it adequately, but there’s a bad vibe to this. Like they love each other, but can’t be alone together, or use their kids as a distraction from what’s really going on. Just speculation on my part.

    • anjessa says:

      Tori is Aaron Spelling’s daughter. Even without any reality shows, she probably has enough money to live in luxury with 20 kids for the rest of her life if she wants to.

      • mayamae says:

        Tori received a little less than 1 million dollars when her father died. My personal belief is her mom manipulated that since they had never been close.

        She and her mother are now close. Maybe when Candy Spelling goes she will leave her massive fortune to Tori and her brother.

        Or maybe she’ll be petty – who knows?

    • fabgrrl says:

      I think you may be right. I know that I, personally, have an intense urge to be pregnant or have a tiny little baby. I don’t want any more children, but I wish I could be pregnant! Insane, I know. But I recognized this about myself, and got an IUD put in after my second was born. I have this bizarre fantasy that some relative will need me to be a surrogate mother.

  19. bruno says:

    Poor Dean thought he was going to live the Beverly Hills lifestyle. Instead he’s stuck with a very unattractive woman and a life of diapers & babysitting. He already looks like sh-t. This should push him over the edge. Love when karma takes over. Her face & body is beyond repulsive.

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      Agree with most of what you’re saying, but it’s not “babysitting” when you contribute half the DNA. That’s called parenting.

      • Lindy says:

        Hear, hear! Drives me bonkers when my friends tell me they can go grab lunch because their husband is babysitting. Um, he is the kid’s dad. That ain’t babysitting.

  20. Maria says:

    she actually seems like a sweet lady. I worry about their marriage lasting. Maybe another 4 or 5 years then all those kids will be from a broken home. I know that’s negative to say, it’s just that as marriages in Hollywood creep towards the 10 years mark it seems to be what is the norm. let’s hope for these children they stick with it!

  21. Tiffany says:

    So does this mean we know what the plot of the next season of their show will be.

  22. Peachy says:

    Next Book: HysTORIectomy

  23. hopperlea says:

    I don’t understand the hate for people who have more than one child and care for their children responsibly and maturely. They are not living off welfare, have half their kids in foster care or have a different parent for each of their kids. Four kids is not a lot. Families larger than 2 kids are coming back. People need to mind their own buisness and just be happy for them. I love Tori and while she got Dean the wrong way, she grew on me and I like them as a couple.

    • iloveretro says:

      +1

      I don’t understand the Tori hate, either. She and Dean didn’t go about starting their relationship the right way, but I think for Hollywood types they’re about as genuine as you can be and they very obviously love all their kids to bits. I find the likes of Tori a lot less offensive than the Lohans and Kardashians.

  24. Courtney says:

    some of you are dim witted after a woman has a baby or loses a pregnancy she’s more fertitle look for example at Ethel Kennedy 11 children Kathleen born July 4th 1951 Joseph Patrick II born September 24th 1952 Robert Kennedy Jr born January 17th 1954 Michael born David born June 15th 1955 Courtney born Spetmber 9th 1956 Michael bor February 27th 1958 Kerry Born September 8th 1959 Christopher born July 4th 1963 Matthew born January 11th 1965 Douglas born March 24th 1967 and Rory born December 12th 1968 while JFK & Jackie had five in eight years from 1954-1963 though only two survived right Jackie miscarried their first child in 1955 had a stillborn daughter Arabella August 23rd 1956 Caroline born November 27th 1957 John F Kennedy Jr born November 25th 1960 d. July 16th 1999 and Patrick born 6 weeks premature on August 7th 1963 died 2 days later of hyaline memberane disease now more commonly called infant Respirtory distress syndrome it was in memory of patrick that Jackie always wore an emerald ring on her right hand

    • Pia says:

      LOL watch out guys! Courtney’s back with her usual opening insult followed by gibberish!

    • Jen says:

      You know that key next to the ‘m’ on your keyboard? The one with the weird little symbol on it? That’s a COMMA, Courtney, and it’s totally okay to use it. Don’t be afraid.

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

      Thanks for posting this information with the dates – coming from a big family myself it is interesting information to read 🙂

    • Jackie says:

      i hope you copied and pasted this information.

      • Emily says:

        I doubt it, Courtney’s posts are usually a list of celebrity info and gossip from the 40s-60s, and like @Jen said, she doesn’t like commas!

    • Louminary says:

      Punctuation! Learn it, love it, use it!

  25. dorothy says:

    Has she been in a vertical position at any time this month?

  26. lightofthesun says:

    Am i the only one that vaguely remembers trust funds being set up for the first two kids? I know, I know, trust fund can’t be touched until the kid is grown, but in my mind this is one way to make sure that some of Tori’s dad’s vast fortune (of which Tori got a very small amount) makes its way to Tori’s family, even if it’s thru the kids. They could have 10 kids and they’d never be paupers.

    That being said, I do think that Tori is very insecure about Dean. I really don’t care how many they have, but I see the insecurity on her part.

  27. april says:

    i have 4 children. 6 and under, I can relate, but never got pregnant quite that fast after giving birth. Good for her, but she should have recovered a few more months, she is probably going to have a lot of stress and pressure down there with this one.

  28. Mrs. Odie 2 says:

    She probably thought breastfeeding would protect her from pregnancy. There are a lot of children in this world whose mothers thought the same.

  29. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Um…I guess.

  30. emma says:

    This happened to a woman i worked with. Had her first baby and no idea the months right after you give birth are your most fertile. Her second is due the week before her first turns one.

  31. Jennifer12 says:

    I’m telling you, there’s something about a person who births her 3rd child and says, literally, immediately after that she wants a fourth. It’s like she can’t bear the thought of being “done”. She seems like she’s always looking for something to occupy her. First wedding, affair soon after, married the boyfriend right after the divorces, first kid together, second kid a year later (she must know that you can get pregnant quickly as it happened before), third kid and immediately announces wanting a fourth, the fourth kid. You have to wonder what would happen if she and Dean were faced with just each other. I have no issue with 3-4 kids (but this is the 5th kid, BTW) if you can afford it, are married, and they aren’t from random people but there is a weird vibe to this.

  32. Darlene says:

    Tori has always said she wanted four. She’s approaching 40; if she and Dean wanted more, NOW is the time. Any later and THEN you’re talking irresponsible. Her eggs should still be in great shape and her babies still have low risks of birth complications or developmental issues related to aging eggs.

    I am so happy for them. They have a lovely family.

    ps. her face doubtless looks that way b/c she was HUGE and pregnant with #3, probably only lost a TINY portion of the weight, and is now pregnant again. I looked like I took steroids for my whole pregnancy, my face was so round, like a moon.

  33. Suzy (from Ontario, Canada) says:

    Well I really hope she isn’t getting pregnant to try to keep her marriage together. From what I heard they were having some serious marriage trouble not that long ago and adding babies doesn’t make marriage easier.

    I get an ick vibe off her husband. He left his former wife right in the middle of them adopting a baby girl and his son with his former wife seems to hardly be considered part of his new family (Baby makes six). I have a hard time having respect for men that meet women who are famous and rich (or from rich families) and suddenly don’t seem to really work on anything of their own (yes, I’m also talking to you Eric whatever-your-name-is, Jessica’s baby Daddy). They just sort of live off their wife. Hard not to think of them as sleazy when they do that. Just my opinion of course.

  34. Alexa says:

    WTF is WRONG with all you folks who MUST announce that YOU find Tori unattractive?! Seriously – whaddup with that???! I just don’t understand such comments nor why nobody else makes a peep as the insults accrue each and every time she or Rumer are the subject. Talk about a HATE CRIME! Hello?! (Grow a HEART already!)

  35. BELLA says:

    OMG… ALL THE NANNY`S IN THE WORLD
    WONT KEEP THE OLDER ONES FROM ACTING UP
    ONLY A MATTER OF TIME… OH THATS RIGHT
    SHE WONT DARE HAVE A NANNY IN THE HOUSE ,UNLESS SHE IS OVER 60!! IT KILLS
    ME.MAYBE WE CAN GET A BROWN EYED ONE OUTA THE BUNCH… JUST LIKE HER.

  36. Sue says:

    Why does anyone care how many children Tori and her husband have? Also why do you care about her being the main bread winner. I am 67 and think its great because they love each other. Hats of to both of them . How many marriages don’t last because of other reasons. Give them a break
