Candy Spelling “thrilled about little Stella”
Much like when Liam Aaron was born 15 months ago, the Spelling family is putting their differences aside for the time being and celebrating the gift of life again. Candy Spelling was seemingly excited as she spoke to E! about her daughter, Tori Spelling, 35, and son-in-law Dean McDermott welcoming their second child, Stella Doreen, on Monday, June 9th.
Although Tori shared her concerns during her pregnancy about having a relationship with a future daughter of her own, Candy — who says "Aaron [Spelling] would have been overjoyed!" — knows that having a little girl "is what Tori had hoped for." Candy continued,
There is nothing like the happiness and elation of welcoming a new grandchild! Of course, I’m thrilled about little Stella, and now Liam has a sister. This is a very happy time for the family.

Congrats again ! I hope that they can now have a better relationship, I know Tori works hard toward that and that she wishes nothing more then to have a great relationship with her mother (I’m in the same boat with her, actually)

i know candy adores liam, and i believe she is excited about stella but i think she also may be nervous about the prospect of another female in the family.maybe it’s just me….

I really hope Tori and Candy can rebuild their relationship. If I’m not mistaken, I believe Dean’s mother has passed, so Candy is Liam and Stella’s only grandma. I hope Candy chooses to be an important and meaningful part of her grandchildren’s lives.

Tori, you are adorable, Liam is an angel and you work so very hard. However, your latest husband is a loser. If I had to hear one more of his classless sexual comment I think I was going to throw up..also thought the hot dog thing with Liam showed no class.. Come on girl..you can do better than him…frankly I think he’s gross

I sure hope that Candy can be a better grandmother than she is a mother! Tori is such an awesome person, and deserves so much better!

Tori seems like such a nice, sincere , down to earth girl. I can’t imagine how she turned out so well with a mother like Candy. Poor Tori just wants her mother’s love, something she never had and seems she never will have.
Candy is a cold hearted, jealous, greedy witch.
Be happy Tori with your beautiful family, you have the love of Dean and your children.

All I can say is CANDY you need to straighten things out with Tori, life is too short. I would imagine there are things that happenend that have hurt everyone. I think this should not be a blame game but mor about the right thing to do for all the children involved. I will not pretend to know all the details, I am sure there are many things that happened that is within your family, however there comes a time when people have to put everything aside, talk things our and move forward in a postitve manner. Huge things could be accomplished by working out the family problems..I don’t really care who you people are or how much money you have, if family is lost you all are just as broke and most everyone. For God’s sake, let go and patch this mess up..when the chips are down, family is really all you have…these people are your flesh and blood, a part of you…get it together, the world is watching and waiting :0

Tori Dear,
Love your show. You and Dean are a cute couple and seem to be good parents. But, I am concerned about the comments you make about your mother. Life is too short not to include your mother in your life. I lost my mother to cancer three years ago and would give anything to have her back. Don’t waste time. Mend your relationship with your mom and let your kids get to know their grandma.
Here’s hoping you can forgive and forget any past hurt feelings.

for the sake of dean’s son, you two need to mention him more.

i think its sad that tori’s mom isn’t in the picture, you know as parents you may not agree with the choices that your children make, but its their choice, and how can you not want a relationship with your own child?love shouldnt stop because of a disagreement, i just hope that things work out before it’s too late.

this message is for Candy Spelling:
life is too short to be resentful and jealous of the relationship tori & her father had while he was alive. he would be so ashamed of your behavior to the daughter the two of you share, after his passing. Forgiveness is part of being a parent, and despite whatever disagreements you have had with tori, she is your daughter, a part of you an the man you loved.search inside of yourself, and be a real mother to your daughter, and a grandmother to liam & stella. and all the money in the world cannot replace the people you love in your life. whatever negativity you and tori are dealing with concerning your relationship, you need to let it go, and make afresh start, for the sake of your grandchildren.

I think Candy should get off her hi horse and contact Tori. I guess she is too busy spending Mr. Spelling’s money. Someone needs to smack her. What the heck is wrong with her? Pick the phone up and call your daughter. I have a great relationship with my daughter. I wouldn’t miss a thing in her life and she is 19 yrs old. I can’t even imagine not talking to my daughter for 1 day. You will regret this one day but then it will be too late. Call your daughter or better yet go see her in person.

Tori & Dean – I love your show! Thanks for sharing all your special moments with everyone. I cry when you cry on your show, it’s so touching. Congrats on your new baby. I do hope you and your mom will reconcile. Lots of love and happiness to you and your beautiful family.

Tori and Dean – always remember this: A son is a son until he finds him a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all of her life. Congrats on your sweet girl. She will be the glue of your family.
