Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are celebrating their youngest on his special day.
The Scary Movie 2 alum, 51, and the My Fake Boyfriend star, 58, both shared special tributes to their personal Instagram pages to celebrate their son Beau turning 8 years old. In Spelling's post, she shared several photos of Beau, ranging from when he was a newborn to now. While most of the pictures are solo shots, she included three selfies of the two of them hanging out together.
"Happy 8th Birthday to my baby!" she wrote. "You came into this world imprinting your name across my mind. Telling me exactly who you are and setting a lifetime tone of being my greatest teacher. Age is just a human number. You teach me everyday wisdom, compassion, empathy, kindness, at times bossiness 😂 and endless interest in life it's so inspiring."
"Your attention to detail and love of creativity drives me forward on my darkest days. A bright burning beacon of hope you will undoubtedly lead all in anything you choose to do. Your humor makes me laugh out loud," she continued. "Inquisitive beautiful human! I'm so proud you chose me to be your mom. You fixed something in me that I didn't think possible in this lifetime. I love you Beauseph xo #happybirthday #thisis8 #mybaby"

Spelling also shared black-and-white photos of her son as a newborn via Instagram Stories, with the caption, "My greatest teacher entered this world 8 years ago ..."
McDermott also shared a cute snap of him and the 8-year-old on his Instagram to celebrate this new year of life. In the photo, the two of them posed together for a selfie in an arcade.
"My Dude is 8 years old today!!! I can't believe it," the proud dad captioned the photo. "They grow up so fast!! I love you Buddy!! #happybirthday🎂."
After nearly two decades together, McDermott announced his split from Spelling in a now-deleted post on Instagram in June 2023, with Spelling officially filing for divorce in March 2024. The pair welcomed five children together during their relationship: Beau, Finn, 12, Hattie, 13, Stella, 16, and Liam, 17.
"It's with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own," he wrote. "We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time."
On last week's episode of the misSPELLING podcast, the 90210 alum cleared up why she recently posted a photo on her Instagram Stories of her son Beau massaging his mom's legs as she lay nude on a table with a blanket covering her lower half. The podcaster said when the photo started to get traction online, she was talking to one of her mom friends, who affirmed that she also thought the post was totally normal.
"I think it's interesting though, that, I don't know, on social media, why is it like comedians can post anything?" Spelling asked listeners. "Comedians that have families, kids, they can post anything and people are like, 'They are kidding. That's funny.'"
"But if an actor posts something like, oh my god. That must be true. She's a horrible mom," she went on. "And then I had another friend that was like, 'Well, good news is you're relevant. You're in the press.'"
However, Spelling said she has such "mom guilt" already, she doesn't want to have to hear it or see it on the Internet, too. "I don't need people shaming me, thinking I'm forcing my kids to massage me," she added.
