Spelling and McDermott began cheating on their spouses the night they met.[22] Upon his subsequent divorce from Eustace, McDermott was granted joint custody of their son Jack, opting not to move forward with the adoption of a baby girl, Lola, whom he and Eustace were in the process of adopting prior to their separation.[23]

McDermott became an American citizen at a ceremony in Los Angeles on August 21, 2010.[citation needed]
