She posted a black and white photo of the pair smiling, captioning the photo, “I’ve got peace and I’ve got love โ™ฅ๏ธ #gratefulheart.” Spelling, 51, commented on Calo’s post: “Love you both โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ.”ย 

Spelling previously opened up about her affinity for the new couple. McDermott and Calo were first spotted together last Fall. The Beverly Hills, 90210 star revealed that she spends time with the new couple at family dinners. “I like Lily a lot. It’s not bad. It’s just, you know, it’s different,” she said on an episode of her misSPELLING podcast in April.

Spelling and McDermott’s divorce appears amicable, with both citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. But the Canadian actor rejects Spelling’s request for sole physical custody of their five kids and is seeking joint physical and legal custody instead. He also requested spousal support for himself and the termination of spousal support for his ex. Spelling wants the opposite arrangement for spousal support.
