Amid speculation of marital woes, Tori Spelling, 50, seemed to confirm her separation from husband Dean McDermott during a recent shopping trip to Target in LA.
Looking somber, the actress responded to a query about her husband by stating: "I've always looked better on my own," as per a video obtained by DailyMail.com.
Recently, Tori has been navigating the role of a single mom and defending her decision to move into a $100-a-night motel with her children due to a mold issue in their home.
When questioned about it, she affirmed: "Are you a parent? You know you would do whatever you can for your kids, right?"

She shared multiple pictures of her kids, Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, six, all shared with Dean
After a since-deleted announcement of her divorce from Dean, Spelling checked into a modest motel in Los Angeles, fuelling further rumors of a split.
Despite sources indicating that the relocation is strictly due to the mold problem in their home, there's no denying that the star has been visibly distressed about her personal life.

Notably, there were no photos featuring Dean.
Despite the rumors of a separation from Dean, Tori's motel stay with her five children is reportedly due to a persistent mold issue in their home.
The actress had previously revealed the toxic mold had been detrimentally affecting her family's health, causing them to vacate their rental home.
Known for growing up in a $165 million mansion owned by her late father, famed TV producer Aaron Spelling, Tori has faced significant familial and financial challenges.
After a public falling out with her family, she only received $800,000 of her father's $500 million fortune.
In another twist, Dean posted, and then deleted, a statement in June declaring their separation after 17 years of marriage.

Rumors of a split have haunted the couple for years, as both were spotted sans wedding rings throughout 2021. This was also the year Tori confessed they had been sleeping in separate rooms.
Amidst these marital issues, Tori's mother, Candy, 77, pledged to financially support her daughter. Speaking to TMZ last week, she asserted: "I love my daughter, and I support her in whatever she does. I support my daughter."
