AceShowbiz - Nothing could stop Tori Spelling from having fun, not even her husband's illness. While Dean McDermott was fighting with pneumonia, the "BH90210" alum seemingly had a great time celebrating New Year's Eve with their kids.
On Friday, December 31, the 48-year-old shared on Instagram a photo of her with four of her children at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa in Southern California. "Happy New Year's Eve 2021," she gushed. "The kiddos and I were so excited to continue our family tradition since my oldest were babies."
"Love you @lakearrowheadresortandspa! My parents used to bring my brother and I here growing up. I wanted my kids to continue that tradition," the actress added. "I can't wait for my kids to bring their kids here one day! Thx @liammcdermott2007 for taking an awesome pic."
Dean, on the other hand, turned to his own Instagram account to share a video of him from his bed. "Hi everybody, happy happy New Year! I am sick as a dog," the 55-year-old Canadian actor said. "Wishing everybody much much love and happiness and success in the new year. Health, wealth and prosperity."
In the caption, Dean wrote, "Happy New year Everyone!!! I'm down but not out!! Pneumonia sucks." He continued, "But I'm not going to let it dampen my spirits!! I hope your 2022 is full of love, light and prosperity. Much love to you all."
Tori and Dean, who have been hit with split rumors since 2020, might not celebrate New Year's Eve together. However, a source previously told Us Weekly that they "spent Christmas as a family." The source added, "They were all under one roof celebrating together."
The unnamed informant went on to note that Tori and Dean's five children, Liam (14), Stella (13), Hattie (10), Finn (9) and Beau (4), "were happy" with the celebration. The insider further noted, "That's what mattered the most to Tori and Dean, was making sure their kids had a nice holiday at home together."
