Jennie Garth supports BFF Tori Spelling after she files for divorce from Dean McDermott: ‘I will always’ stand by her

Jennie Garth showed support for her former “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star Tori Spelling after the latter filed for divorce from Dean McDermott earlier this week.

“I’ve always stood beside her, behind her, supported her, and I will always continue to do that,” Garth told People Friday.

“We bonded, [and] forged a really strong, unique friendship at such a young age,” the “What I Like About You” alum, 51, furthered explained, referring to their time together on their ’90s hit teen drama.

“That kind of bond doesn’t ever go away. You know, it’s kind of unbreakable.”

Garth’s kind words came hours after news surfaced that Spelling, 50, filed for divorce from her estranged husband, 57, nine months after initially announcing their split.

The mom of five listed her and McDermott’s date of separation as June 17, 2023, and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
