Tori Spelling and her estranged husband Dean McDermott had a shocking reunion on Thursday, marking the first time they have been seen together in nearly a year.
The 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 actress and the 57-year-old Canadian actor were pictured having a conversation at a park in Agoura Hills, near Los Angeles.
The two looked particularly tense and stone-faced as they leaned against a metal railing while chatting.
Tori and Dean were most recently pictured together back in June of 2023, when they attended the Luskin Orthopedic Institute For Children Gala with four of their five kids.
Just over a week later, Dean announced in an Instagram post that he and his wife were separating, though he quickly deleted the post.

The exes both were both dressed casually, and they seemed to share matching punk-inspired styles.
Tori showed off a hint of her toned midriff with a busty white cropped T-shirt featuring a pink heart-shaped design over her chest.
She contrasted it with distressed black low-rise jeans with dangling straps covered in silver eyelets.
She wore the flared cargo pants with classic black sneakers, and she wore her long blond hair swept down her back and styled straight with a middle part.
Dean flashed his heavily tattooed arms in a plain black T-shirt, which he wore with slim charcoal jeans and a white graphic baseball cap.
He sported a mostly white beard and covered up with black sunglasses.
Although the two didn’t appear to smile at all, they seemed somewhat casual in demeanor, and both Tori and Dean relaxed against the metal railing at times.
It’s unclear what brought the two together after seemingly spending months apart.

Dean seems to have found some much-need stability with his new girlfriend Lily in recent months, but Tori has had a stressful series of moves for her and their children.
She became functionally homeless when she moved out of the family home into a $100-per-night hotel — which she said was due to a dangerous mold infestation at the family home — in July of last year.
A month later, she and the kids — Liam, 16; Stella, 15; Hattie, 12; Finn, 11; and Beau, who turns seven on March 2 — were seen temporarily living in an RV in a trailer park.
Tori seemed to have a more settled living situation when she subsequently moved her family into a rental house later in the year, but that didn’t pan out for unforeseeable reasons.
The actress and her kids’ time in the new home came to an end in October after an armed neighbor barricaded himself in a nearby house and took a hostage.
Tori and her family were forced to quickly evacuate the house by a SWAT team responding to the frightening standoff.
But things were looking up for the former primetime soap star after DailyMail.com exclusively reported earlier this week that she had moved into a $15,000-per-month rental home in Woodland Hills.
The San Fernando Valley property features 3,000 square feet of space and boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Dean announced their separation a week later in a since-deleted Instagram post
The rental allows for cats and dogs, though it’s unclear if Tori will be allowed to bring along some of the more exotic pets that Dean claimed made the end of their time together particularly miserable.
In his exclusive two-part interview with DailyMail.com from November, the actor revealed that he and Tori hadn’t regularly shared a bedroom since 2017, due to her insistence about letting animals stay in the room.
Although they have standard pets, including dogs, the animal guests became increasingly absurd when a chicken and a pig were allowed to stay in the bedroom.
Elsewhere in Dean’s interview, he described a final drunken fight with Tori in which he also raged against the children, and he recounted seeing the ‘final flicker of the flame go out in her eyes,’ signaling that their marriage was beyond repair.
Afterward, he announced the end of the marriage on social media, a post that shocked Tori when she saw it with no advance warning.
In his shame, he said he took ‘six or seven Ambien’ after consuming a considerable amount of alcohol, and he went to sleep hoping that he ‘would not wake up.’
As Dean has been moving on, Tori appeared to have found love again after she was seen kissing the advertising agency CEO Ryan Cramer, but the two haven’t been seen together since late October.
In the same interview, Dean revealed that he met his girlfriend Lily Calo through a joint project at the charity Conscious Community Global, where she works as an account manager.
Since moving on, he says he only speaks with Tori via text message, though that appears to have changed with their latest meet-up.

While speaking to DailyMail.com, Dean admitted that he had been treating his stress from the failing marriage and their money woes by drinking and using drugs alone every night, sometimes to the point of passing out.
And when he was conscious he could fly into an alcohol-fueled rage at Tori that left their family frightened.
Dean subsequently spent much of the summer of 2023 in rehab, and he even stayed apart from his family over the Thanksgiving holiday to stay at a sober living facility.
The Canadian actor made it clear that he still ‘loves’ his wife, even as he is quickly setting up a new life with Lily.
