She got choked up while recalling May 7 as “another day from now on.”
Speaking about their anniversary and split on Monday’s episode of her podcast MisSpelling, Spelling, 50, said she forgot their 18-year mark was on the horizon “until, no joke, two days ago.” She reminisced about how busy the month would usually be for her and her family, adding she could tick one yearly activity off the list.

“It’s May, you guys. It’s a huge month for me,” she stated, listing their May 7 anniversary, her May 16th birthday, and Mother’s Day. “I would always be like, ‘Hey, buddy. Sorry, you’re screwed. You got three Tori days to deal with, essentially, in May.'”
It wasn’t until a pal joked he could remove her anniversary with McDermott from his calendar that she remembered the special day.

“Homemade equals love,” Spelling added. “Whether that’s in the past, present or the future I still maintain that.” She started listing off the arts and crafts she made for McDermott over the years, which caused her to break down.
She made him a bench one year with the phrase “I want to grow old with you” inscribed on it.
