Tori Spelling keeps children’s placentas in freezer for seven years

Tori Spelling revealed that she still has two of her children’s placentas in the freezer, despite last giving birth to her youngest child, son Beau McDermott, in 2017.

During Friday’s episode of her Misspelling podcast, the reality star, 51, admitted that she was ‘unsure which’ of her kids’ placentas were ‘in there.’

‘There’s two [placenta in the freezer],’ she told listeners. ‘Unless I have the biggest placenta in the world, there’s two vats in there.’ 

While explaining why she was still holding onto her placenta, Spelling insisted it was normal to ‘freeze’ them. 

‘They say it’s good luck to eat it or it’s good luck to bury it or it’s good luck to have it sent and made into that powder and they put into pills,’ the mother-of-five said. ‘I’m just too lazy to send it out. It’s a thing.’

She continued, ‘It’s supposed to be good for your body and they take it out of your body and it’s good to put it back into your body.’ 

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum insisted she had no clue whether the placentas were from her pregnancies with Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, or Finn, 11, before noting some other ones over the years ‘got lost’ in past moves. 

Spelling did, however, reveal she was definitely still in possession of her placenta from Beau’s pregnancy. 

Oddly enough, the best-selling author revealed that placenta, from her most recent pregnancy, was being stored in her best friend’s house. 

‘I’m really sorry to my best friend Jess because [Beau’s] is still in her freezer,’ the actress said. ‘She came to the hospital obviously the day Beau was born. She’s come to the hospital every birth … But because I had a C-section and we had complications and Beau had something [where] we had to stay in the hospital for a bit.’

During that time, she recalled asking her friend, Jess: ‘Can you take the placenta home because they’ve given it to me and I don’t know what to do with it?’ So she, like a proper best friend, did take it home.’

Despite her generosity in taking home the placenta, Spelling confessed that she has tested Jess’ patience by failing to retrieve it.

‘I feel like she has asked me a few times over the last seven years to take that back, and I say, “Yep, next time I’m there, and then I don’t,”‘ Spelling mused. ‘I don’t take it back, but I’m going to. I’m going to one day.’

During Friday’s episode of her Misspelling podcast, the reality star, 51, admitted that she was ‘unsure which’ of her kids’ placentas was ‘in there’ (seen with her son Beau earlier this month)

Spelling admission comes after Spelling revealed she would love to bear another child. 

‘I’d love to have another baby,’ Tori, who is in the midst of a divorce from Dean McDermott, said.

The conversation began after guest Sara Evans, 53, explained she ‘would love to be pregnant again’, prompting Spelling to interject, ‘Same, my friend!’

‘There’s no better time in your life than when you bring that baby home,’ Sara said. ‘I never complained about losing sleep, none of that, I loved it.’ 

Spelling admitted she was ‘totally in menopause’ and expressed her regret over not getting her eggs frozen. 

‘There’s two [placenta in the freezer],’ she told listeners. ‘Unless I have the biggest placenta in the world, there’s two vats in there’ (seen last year with her kids Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, and Finn, 11, and Beau as well as his estranged husband Dean McDermott)

McDermott first announced their separation in a since-deleted Instagram post shared in June 2023. 

Earlier this year, Spelling revealed that she stayed ‘longer’ than she should have in her marriage because she didn’t want him to feel ’emasculated.’ 

‘We’re not just women who make money, we’re women that have power, we’re women that have fame, I don’t know any different. I feel guilty,’ she said during a chat on her podcast with Shannen Doherty.

Tori then shared her concerns about meeting a future partner, expressing uncertainty and vulnerability. 

‘Like, how am I ever gonna be with a man and he doesn’t feel like less than me just because of my status?’ she told Shannen.

Shannen was adamant that Tori could find a partner who would value her accomplishments, but Tori held a different perspective.

‘I disagree with you,’ she began. ‘Every guy that I’ve ever been in a relationship with, I always say, “There’s a lot s***that goes along with me.”‘

Tori also recounted the explosive fight between her and Dean that led to their split, during which the actress smashed a baked potato on the floor.

The actress said she and Dean started arguing after returning home from a day on set in June 2023.

Dean allegedly made a dig at her that ‘he knew would really be hurtful to hear.’

The actress didn’t disclose Dean’s exact words, but recalled that his remark deeply affected her — to the extent that she angrily smashed a loaded baked potato she had been preparing onto the kitchen floor.

‘This guttural scream came out of me,’ Tori recalled. ‘It wasn’t even like a sexy scream, like running in a horror film. It was beast-like. It wasn’t pretty at all.’

‘And I was like, ‘F*** you!’ And I took my most prized possession in that moment, my baked potato. It was loaded to perfection, and I smashed it on the ground.’

Spelling and McDermott share five children: Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, seven. McDermott is also father to son Jack, 25, whom he shares with ex Mary Jo Eustace, 61

After her outburst, a wave of regret washed over Spelling. She retreated to a bedroom, reflecting that she and Dean had been sleeping apart for approximately three years by then, a decision she attributed to him.

A ‘fired up’ Dean began pounding on the locked door before gaining entry to the bedroom through an outdoor entrance that Tori had overlooked securing.

‘So he came in and he was very, very upset. And he said, “I want a divorce. This is over.” And I said, “OK. Great. OK.”‘

On that very day, Tori recalled, Dean publicly announced their divorce via an Instagram post, which she only became aware of when her 15-year-old daughter informed her about it.

She added: ‘I felt like this giant rock had been lifted off my chest. I could breathe deeply, and I was like, “Oh my God. He said it, so now I’m free” . . . he did it, and now I can move on. He’s put it out there, Let’s go. Yes. I needed this.'” I couldn’t do it myself.’

Dean deleted the post the next morning, but by then, news of the split had gone viral. The couple ‘just went on as if nothing happened.’
