Famous ’90s Love Story Duo Reunites—Guess Who?

Two stars had one of the most famous love stories in the ’90s and recently had a mini reunion. 

The former Hollywood couple notably sparked up a romance while in the midst of filming a beloved teen drama series – with their own characters also playing each other’s love interests. 

However, the actors eventually split and moved on with other relationships – with each later going through a divorce. 

When the show came to an end, the castmates had an 18-year estrangement which they have since blamed, in part, on their exes. 

But the stars have since reconciled and developed a close friendship. 

Can you guess the former on and off-screen couple? 

It is Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green – who both played leading roles in the drama series Beverly Hills, 90210. 

The pair had the chance to reunite this week and shared the memorable moment in a joint post to their Instagram pages on Thursday. 

Tori and Brian – both 52 – flashed cheerful smiles towards the camera as the actor snapped a quick selfie. 

The actress penned in the caption, ‘a little D & D in the wild never gets old,’ referencing to the first names of their characters on the show: Donna Martin and David Slater.

The mom-of-five was stylishly casual for the lowkey outing in a pair of denim overalls as well as a red bandeau top underneath. 

Her blonde locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. For a finishing touch, Tori also sported a pair of red-rimmed sunglasses. 

Brian stayed cool in the warmer weather in a short-sleeved, white shirt and added a cap on top of his head. 

While their characters in Beverly Hills, 90210 were love interests – Tori and Brian also sparked up a romance amidst filming the earlier seasons of the Fox series. 

When the show came to an end in 2000 after 10 seasons, the two stars had a notable falling out – resulting in an estrangement that lasted for 18 years. 

Tori went on to marry Charlie Shanian in 2004 but they divorced two years later. 

She then tied the knot with Dean McDermott in 2006 and they welcomed five children during the course of their marriage. Back in 2023, their separation was announced and the TV personality filed for divorce last year in March. 

Brian also dated his Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Vanessa Marcil from 1999 until 2003. They share a son named Kassius. 

The actor went on to say ‘I do’ to Transformers actress Megan Fox in 2010 but the former couple divorced in 2021 after welcoming three children. 

He is now engaged to professional dancer Sharna Burgess and they are parents to a three-year-old son. 

Last year in April, Tori revealed that her heart has not been broken since ‘first love’ Brian on an episode of her misSpelling podcast. 

While talking to guest and late actress Shannen Doherty, Tori recalled a conversation she had with Brian following her split from Dean after 18 years of marriage, per Page Six. 

She remembered telling Brian, ‘No, I was in love. Maybe I wasn’t in love. I’m not sure. No one’s broken my heart since you.’ 

After her confession, Tori said, ‘And there was like pause, pause. And I was like, “Oh my God, this is the first time I’ve said it in 30 years.”‘ 

While she labeled Brian as ‘the first love of my life,’ she expressed to Shannen that both she and Brian still have a close bond but emphasized there was nothing romantic.

‘You know how close Brian and I are. I tell him everything. We’re brother and sister and best friend so close. We can have that connection.

‘Recently we were talking about my situation and being in love and being crushed, being hurt, and moving on and now being single and the next chapter in my life. He’s been so great and such a champion.’

Tori added, ‘At times he gives me such inspiring words of you can do it professionally and personally.’

The star has also been supportive of Brian’s relationship with Sharna. 

‘I love his fiancée. It’s not that. But if he says something to me, I get so flustered and riled up and it takes me right back to being my 18-year-old self,’ the actress explained. 

And in August of last year, Tori and Brian also reflected on their years-long estrangement on his Oldish podcast. 

‘I remember our last conversation and the last thing we said to each other before those 18 years. I was crying,’ Tori said. ‘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 remembered Tori being so engrossed in her live-in relationship with their co-star Vincent Young that she could not reciprocate their friendship. 

He explained how he had tried to keep their ‘connection’ by visiting her, but felt like he wasn’t getting the same from her. 

‘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 admitted she would ‘panic’ whenever Brian would visit due to her ‘complicated relationship’ with the male model, who played Noah Hunter.

She added that it was ‘frustrating’ to watch Brian’s two-year relationship with their co-star Vanessa Marcil, which deteriorated into a 13-year court battle involving a $200K loan and custody of their son Kassius.

‘That relationship was frustrating to see from a friend’s perspective who loves someone so much. To see what is going on and see how your friend is treated and not be okay with it,’ the LA-born nepo-baby lamented. 

‘But also knowing that you can’t really say anything because the person has to go through their own experience and go on their journey.’

However, Tori and Brian finally reconnected in 2018 when they played heightened versions of themselves in the six-episode continuation BH90210, which aired in 2019 on Fox. 

The two stars have had other mini reunions in recent years, such as in 2024 when they also joined Ian Ziering at The Hollywood Show. 

Tori and Brian also appeared in an ad alongside Ryan Reynolds a few months earlier in June for his Aviation Gin.
