Tori Spelling felt as if she had "gone through a divorce" when she lost contact with Brian Austin Green
Tori Spelling lost touch with her 90210 co-star as soon as the show ended
The 51-year-old actress starred opposite Brian, also 51, on the hit drama series 'Beverly Hills, 90210' in the 1990s but she rightly predicted that they would lose touch as soon as the show ended in 2000.
Speaking to Brian on his 'Oldish' podcast, she explained: "I remember our last conversation and the last thing we said to each other before those 18 years. I was crying. I remember crying that we were going to lose touch because we were so close. It was almost like going through a divorce or something."
Brian explained that he did try to maintain a "connection" between them in the time that followed the ending of the show but by the time they next really saw each other, she had married Dean McDermott - with whom she went on to have Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn,11 and seven-year-old Beau but split from him in 2024 - and he was with his now ex-wife Megan Fox.
He said: "What I remember is going by [your then-boyfriend and our former costar] Vincent [Young]’s house to see you multiple days after we wrapped and trying to keep a connection going. But it got to the point where I just never got that from you. And then I remember being at the 90210 DVD release party and you were married to Dean and I was with Megan, when we were still just dating — you guys got there and you never said hello to me once. I just kept missing you guys and then you were gone.
"It was just this thing of like, ‘She just doesn’t want to be my friend.’ I genuinely felt that way.
"I tried to visit you and I would call you. When that wasn’t reciprocated and so I gave up. I didn’t know what was going on in your life."
Tori explained that she "shied away" from her former co-star because he didnd't necessarily approve of her relationship with Vincent but insisted that she "never stopped thinking about Brian in the years they lost touch.
She said: "I shied away from you because you weren’t a fan of [my] relationship [with Vincent]. You had a good working relationship with Vincent but I don’t think you felt like our personal relationship was something that was correct for me.
"My process was different and I would shy away from those that would really fight for me. I never stopped thinking about you and never stopped wanting to reach out and reconnect."
