I read in excerpt of her book “Stori Telling” that both of her parents are Jewish. As for the bracelet Stella is sporting it may be from Tori’s jewelry line.
I never liked Tori until I started watching her show on Oxygen and now I am obsessed. I just love finding out information about this couple. I hope they continue to do reality shows or find an outlet to keep all of us fans informed.

Yes, Tori’s father was Jewish. I’m not sure about her mother, but she’s blonde and blue-eyed. Tori’s already had one blonde and blue-eyed child, so I’m not sure why it’s strange to some that she imagined her second child to look similar to the first.

Stella is absolutely adorable! She looks like a baby doll! I am so happy for Dean and Tori. They are down to earth and real. I love watching them on Oxygen. Liam is such a neat little guy. I bet they just adore him, I know I would. I hope he doesn’t have a hard time adjusting to sharing Dad and Mom. He seems very smart, I think he will rock as a big brother!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you!

Did anyone buy this magazine? I had to wait somewhere for awhile so decided to get a magazine to pass the time. The last picture of the article Stella has on a really cute little bracelet (it is a beaded fashion bracelet, not anything silver or gold. I was wondering if anyone knew where this was from or where to get one that is similar? Thanks!

Stella looks like her daddy.

both kids are adorable.

With her irst pregnancy she put on tons of weight, probably under the assumption, it would go away after the she gave birth. A missconception that many women seem to have.

As for Stella being a “miracle”, it only takes one time to get pregnant. So cleary Tori & Dean didn’t abstain for a few days and didn’t think about alternative birth control methods.

Either way, congrats to Tori on her little girl, which is what she always wanted. She and Dean make very cute babies. )

how could mary jo possibly have “forced” dean out of lola’s life if that’s not what he wanted? to be honest, i find that defense laughable. in what divorce court would a father be stripped of his parental rights to one child (lola) and maintain rights to the other (jack) if that’s not what he wanted? he could have remained lola’s dad but he CHOSE not to. saying that mary jo forced him out is a flimsy excuse.

and, how has lola been spared anything? dean is still in her big brother’s life and isn’t in her’s. when she grows up she’ll probably find out the circumstances of her adoption. do you think she won’t be hurt that dean chose not to proceed with adopting her?

oh well, i truly hope all four kids grow up happy despite everything that has happened.

Dean bouncing on his wife was really messed up, but that’s water under the bridge now people. Hopefully he’s learned his lesson.

Tori and Dean are now happily married with two beautiful babies. Congrats to them! I love Tori!

As for the comment about the dark hair…I was surprised by that comment too. Isn’t Tori Jewish? That’s not exactly Swedish…

Abi
After having 3 csections(first baby breech and 9 lbs 4oz, second baby 13 hour labor – 1cm dilated and third transverse lie would not turn I would not elect to have a csection if the baby could be born vaginally. It is major surgery and definitely has a recovery period. I also happened to have a horrible spinal headache with my third. Abi, I’m sure you’ll make the best decision for you. Also wishing Tori, Dean, and Liam the best with the newest member of the family.

Beverely- Tori said a few months ago that, after being pregnant for almost two years straight, she wants wait awhile before getting pregnant again. Therefore, I don’t think we’ll see her pregnant again for at least a year.

Cindy and Laila- I couldn’t have said it better myself. In fact, I wanted to say the exact same thing you did, Cindy, but couldn’t figure out how to properly word it. Thank you! I also want to add to what Cindy said.

By taking Dean’s name off the adoption papers (I’m with the majority who strongly believe that doing so was Mary Jo’s decision. In which case, rather than Dean abandoning his daughter, it was Mary Jo deciding not to have him in HER daughter’s life), Mary Jo spared Lola a childhood of being shuttled back and forth between her parents. Do you really think it would have been better for Lola if Dean’s name had stayed on the adoption papers? At least now, unless Mary Jo ever meets and marries someone else and that guy adopts her, Lola will never have to be a “child of divorce”.

I have to say that the only couple I see getting this type of criticism (the man leaving his wife for another woman, the woman being a “homewrecker”, etc.) is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie….and in their case, there weren’t children involved (well, at least not in the same way is with Tori and Dean. Brad did not leave or abandon any kids when he and Jen divorced). This criticism was especially bad right after Shiloh was born. I can only hope that they won’t get that same critcism after the twins’ birth!
