Just a few days ago, Tori Spelling packed on the PDA with a new man more than four months after her split from Dean McDermott.
Given that this happened just weeks after Dean went public with a new woman by his side, some wondered:
Is Tori seriously dating again…or is she looking for revenge after her ex blindsided her?
And what does Tori think of this new guy who looks like Dean?
As we previously reported, eyewitnesses spotted Tori Spelling out and about on an apparent date in downtown Los Angeles.
The man on his arm – and on his lips – was Ryan Cramer, CEO.
Now we have confirmation that the two were dating — instead of hanging out and accidentally holding hands and pressing their lips together. And we also know more about their entanglement.
Us every week spoke to an inside source who explained how Tori and Ryan first crossed paths.
“Tori met Ryan through work,” the insider said.
The source clarified that it was “several months ago and she thought he was very charming and handsome.”
According to the insider, Tori reached out to Ryan sometime after her split from Dean.
This breakup took place in June.
While we doubt Ryan was her first call, it confirms the timeline that more or less everyone assumed: that this relationship is new.
Now, those who have seen Ryan — who, despite his job, is not what we traditionally think of as a “public figure” in the sense that Tori and Dean are — have observed that he looks like Tori’s ex.
“Tori is really excited about this new relationship,” the source said.
“And she doesn’t mind that people say he looks a lot like Dean,” the insider then comments.
When some people break up, they find someone as different from their ex as they can imagine.
Others, however, have a type and stick to it.
Obviously, we don’t know what Ryan is like as a person. He’s a CEO with what looks like a nice business resume. Maybe he and Tori will end up being a good couple.
In June, Dean very abruptly announced the end of his marriage to Tori, even though their relationship seemed stronger than ever for many months.
“It is with great sadness and a very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and begin our own journey,” Dean wrote at the time.
Interestingly, he deleted the post a few hours later. Many assume he posted it unilaterally and deleted it for Tori’s sake. But he remained determined to end the marriage. Now he and Tori have both moved on! Or at least they’re dating again.
