McDermott announced his split from Spelling after 18 years of marriage in an Instagram post in June, on the same day listed as the day of separation in the filing. He cited that the pair "have decided to go our separate ways," but deleted the post shortly afterward.
In photos obtained by Page Six earlier this month, Spelling and McDermott were snapped speaking with each other at a park in Agoura Hills, California.
