Early life [edit]

Personal life [edit]
In July 2005, McDermott began filming the Lifetime TV movie Mind Over Murder in Ottawa, alongside Tori Spelling. The two began an affair the night they first met,[1] despite both being married. In September, Spelling separated from her husband Charlie Shanian. While on a family vacation in Palm Springs, California, McDermott told then-wife Mary Jo Eustace, "I'm leaving you, not my kid," and filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years. On December 24, 2005, McDermott and Spelling became engaged. In February 2006, McDermott's and Eustace's divorce was finalized; and in April 2006, Spelling's and Shanian's divorce was finalized. McDermott was granted joint custody of his son Jack, but he opted not to move forward with the adoption of a baby girl, Lola, he and Eustace were in the process of adopting prior to their separation.[2]
McDermott married Spelling on May 7, 2006, in a private ceremony in Wakaya, Fiji.[3] Spelling and McDermott renewed their vows on May 8, 2010 in Beverly Hills.[4] Spelling and McDermott have four children: sons Liam Aaron (born March 13, 2007) and Finn Davey (born August 30, 2012) [5] and daughters Stella Doreen (born June 9, 2008)[6] and Hattie Margaret (born October 10, 2011).[7]
On July 1, 2010, McDermott was involved in a dirt bike accident, his second motorcycle accident of the year. Suffering a punctured and collapsed lung, he was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of a Los Angeles hospital. Doctors expected McDermott to make a full recovery.[8] McDermott was released from the hospital on July 6, 2010.[9]
McDermott became an American citizen at a ceremony in Los Angeles on August 21, 2010.[10]
