Tori is mum to five children with Dean - Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, seven.

During an appearance on SiriusXM's 'Jeff Lewis Live' in 2022, Tori revealed she had patched up her rocky relationship with her mum.

Tori went on to credit her friend 'Million Dollar Listing' star Josh Flagg with bringing about the reconciliation by suggesting mother and daughter get together for dinner.

Tori added the pair have been out together many times since and are in regular contact, adding: "We text every single day".
