The McDermott-Spellng household is getting yet another addition! Tori Spelling announced on Wednesday that she is expecting her fifth child with husband Dean McDermott.
Tori Spelling told PEOPLE that the pregnancy came as a surprise, but that she is incredibly happy with the news and can't wait to add to her family.
It was a total surprise, but we always wanted a big family. I'm really excited... This baby happened at the best time. Nothing is ever perfect, but I'm so madly in love with my husband and with our kids. The idea of adding to that is such a blessing.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are already parents to four children: Liam McDermott, 9, Stella McDermott, 8, Hattie McDermott, 5, and Finn McDermott, 4. Dean McDermott also has an 18-year-old son Jack McDermott from a previous marriage. The couple has been married for ten years now, though a recent affair threatened to break them up.

The couple worked through their issues and now claim to be stronger than ever. Spelling says this baby will be special for her and her husband after they've gone through those rocky times in recent years.
Everything is different now. In a way, this is our first baby in our new relationship. And that is really exciting.
