Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott welcome daughter Stella Doreen

Tags: Births , Quotes , Top News

Actress Tori Spelling, 35, and her husband Dean McDermott have welcomed their second child together. Daughter Stella Doreen McDermott was born at 3:13 pm PT today, Monday, June 9th, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. She weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz, is 19 and 3/4 inches long, and her middle name is after Dean's late mother. Tori's rep stated,

She's a healthy baby girl. Tori and baby are resting comfortably.

Stella joins big brothers Liam Aaron, 15 months this week, and Jack, 9, from Dean's previous marriage.

The pregnancy was rumored in January, but Tori never officially confirmed -- instead, she was photographed with her pregnant belly out! She revealed the sex in March and posed for the cover of People. In May, Tori celebrated her baby shower.

The third season of their show, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, premieres Tuesday, June 17th at 10 pm on Oxygen.

Congrats to them - Stella Doreen is a great name with an almost southern ring to it! I really like it and it fits in with their growing family very well. Nice way to pay respect to their parents.

Posted by: Chicki at Jun 9, 2008 9:23:18 PM

I'm glad they chose Stella for something different! For some reason I was guessing it would be Lily or some "L" name. Can't wait to see her :)

Posted by: Leslie at Jun 9, 2008 9:24:30 PM

Yay! Love the name...nice and classy! Curious, though--does anyone know if Doreen is after anyone in particular, maybe one of the grandmas?

Congrats to the Spelling-McDermott family!

Posted by: rachael at Jun 10, 2008 8:19:04 AM

It says Doreen is in honor of Dean's late mom.

I like Stella, cute name.

Posted by: Sarah at Jun 10, 2008 8:20:35 AM

So it does! I guess I was so excited--I didn't read it carefully...thanks!

Posted by: rachael at Jun 10, 2008 8:30:58 AM

Never cared for the name Stella but CONGRATS!!!!

Posted by: tink1217 at Jun 10, 2008 8:49:06 AM

Doesn't Dean also have another daughter, Lola, that he adopted with his ex-wife? I notice that she's often not mentioned in article that list his children.

Posted by: Jenn at Jun 10, 2008 8:49:51 AM

Stella will be the new Ava..

congrats to both parents and baby Liam..

Posted by: Bella Mama at Jun 10, 2008 9:11:52 AM

Love the name!! Fits the family well.
Congrats!!

Posted by: Maggie at Jun 10, 2008 9:26:08 AM

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't Dean also have a daughter from his previous marriage? This would make four then, not three...

Posted by: Erin at Jun 10, 2008 9:52:19 AM

Dean was removed from the adoption process of Lola as part of the divorce proceedings.

Posted by: Sarah at Jun 10, 2008 10:16:13 AM

Oh, thank you for clearing that up. I did not know Lola was adopted.

Posted by: Erin at Jun 10, 2008 10:53:52 AM

I agree - Stella is becoming quite popular again! I know three in the past month. Cute name though. I had guessed a flower name like Lilli, iris or Rose but this is an adorable choice :) Congrats.

Posted by: brannon at Jun 10, 2008 11:07:10 AM

Love LOVE the name. I was really thinking they might go with Erin - a nice Irish name and a way to honor her father. But with Liam's middle name being Aaron, that kind of gave Daddy spelling a living memorial!

I cannot wait to see this baby! YAY!!

Posted by: tracieleigh at Jun 10, 2008 11:46:45 AM

Love the name. It fits their family well. Jack, Liam and Stella are all great names. I can't wait to see a pic (though I'm sure there will be no shortage, lol).

Posted by: emily at Jun 10, 2008 12:17:17 PM

Love the name! How sweet! I bet she will be just as gorgeous as Liam. Congratulations Tori & Dean!!

Posted by: Emaline at Jun 10, 2008 12:53:04 PM

Fabulous news! Congrats to the family!

Posted by: Harley at Jun 10, 2008 1:45:22 PM

Congrats to Tori, Dean andLiam with the arrival of their daughter and sister Stella Doreen.

I love the idea of both Liam and Stella's middle names. They did a great jobnaming their children.

I wish all four of them all the best.

Posted by: Sylvana at Jun 10, 2008 2:42:31 PM

LOVE the name!! Congrats to the McDermott clan! Can't wait to see photos! ♥

Posted by: Erin at Jun 10, 2008 4:27:00 PM

tori & dean have posted a thankyou message on their myspace, along with glittery blinky text of stella's name:

"We're so happy to finally welcome our little girl! Welcome STELLA DOREEN MCDERMOTT! She was born June 9th at 3:13pm. She weighs 6lbs 8oz. Thanks for all the love and support"

Posted by: ang at Jun 10, 2008 7:14:26 PM

I love the name Stella!
I think its neat that Liam was born on March 13th so numerically that's 3/13 and little Stella was born at 3:13.

Posted by: Ayanna at Jun 10, 2008 8:23:30 PM

Good luck Tori and Dean - I have 2 children 15 months apart too! Totally exhausting!

Posted by: Tracie at Jun 11, 2008 2:40:36 AM

Congratulations to the family! Stella is a cute name and I think it's sweet that both of the children have names of their late grandparents.

Posted by: terri at Jun 11, 2008 7:15:23 PM

I love the name!

Posted by: Elizabeth at Jun 12, 2008 12:45:33 AM

Congrats to the happy couple. I think that they chose the perfect name and it totally fits the family. I wonder what they will name all the other children. Cant wait to see some pictures.

Posted by: Allie at Jun 25, 2008 8:54:15 PM

Comgrats to all the families. Love both names and hope there is baby #3 in the near future. You make great paremts.

Posted by: Sue P at Jul 4, 2008 10:05:42 PM

Nice family addition. Complete with all the good news. Tori don't worry Mom will come around. She loves you and it is probably hard for her to let her guard down. Moms sometimes surprise us. Benigna Marko
Oh, one more thing, you are experiencing the love of a mother, you know how wonderful it feels, so think about it towards your Mom, I am sure she feels the same for you and wishes to be part. Never ever give up.

Congrats to the happy family. I watch your show every week and its REAL about love, marriage, children, friends, families and all the drama. The very ups and the very downs.

Dean, the love you show Jack when he is with you, will last a lifetime of distance. The guilt you feel will never go away but if you believe in the choices you've made, it will dim with time.
