Dean McDermott’s Son Jack Reveals He Is Estranged From Father
In the midst of the ongoing divorce drama between Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling, Dean’s eldest son Jack McDermott has revealed that he is currently estranged from his father — and not in any rush to reconnect, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“Never say never, but I think that we’re just in a really great place, both of us,” Jack, 25, told Us Weekly while out with his mother Mary Jo Eustace. “So, I just don’t think in the foreseeable future [a reconciliation is] anything that I want … It’s not on the top of my list of priorities.”
“All I have to say is I wish the kids well,” Jack said of his half-siblings Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7. “I know Tori’s probably going to be having to do a majority of the parenting now, so I just hope she’s the best mother that she can be. And those kids deserve the world, so I hope that she can give it to them.”
Jack added that he was “not surprised” by his dad’s divorce from Spelling. “I lived with them for a year. I was in San Francisco for five [years] and then I moved to L.A.,” he explained. “So, while I was looking for houses, I lived with them for a few months.”
Dean and Eustace were married from 1993 to 2006, the same year that Dean married Spelling.
In 2022, Jack defended Dean and Spelling against negative comments made by his mom. “For 17 years my father has atoned for mistakes he’s made in the past,” he wrote at the time. “He has grown so much as a person. Up until a week ago, our two families [were] living in harmony.”
“Please respect me, and my blended family,” he continued. “Please avoid creating any additional strain on our family dynamic. These past few years have been nothing but peace and happiness, and I ask that we continue to try and keep it that way.”
