Tori Spelling felt as if she had "gone through a divorce" when she lost contact with Brian Austin Green

Speaking to Brian on his 'Oldish' podcast, she explained: "I remember our last conversation and the last thing we said to each other before those 18 years. I was crying. I remember crying that we were going to lose touch because we were so close. It was almost like going through a divorce or something."

Brian explained that he did try to maintain a "connection" between them in the time that followed the ending of the show but by the time they next really saw each other, she had married Dean McDermott - with whom she went on to have Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn,11 and seven-year-old Beau but split from him in 2024 - and he was with his now ex-wife Megan Fox.

He said: "What I remember is going by [your then-boyfriend and our former costar] Vincent [Young]'s house to see you multiple days after we wrapped and trying to keep a connection going. But it got to the point where I just never got that from you. And then I remember being at the 90210 DVD release party and you were married to Dean and I was with Megan, when we were still just dating - you guys got there and you never said hello to me once. I just kept missing you guys and then you were gone.

"It was just this thing of like, 'She just doesn't want to be my friend.' I genuinely felt that way.

"I tried to visit you and I would call you. When that wasn't reciprocated and so I gave up. I didn't know what was going on in your life."

Tori explained that she "shied away" from her former co-star because he didnd't necessarily approve of her relationship with Vincent but insisted that she "never stopped thinking about Brian in the years they lost touch.

She said: "I shied away from you because you weren't a fan of [my] relationship [with Vincent]. You had a good working relationship with Vincent but I don't think you felt like our personal relationship was something that was correct for me.

"My process was different and I would shy away from those that would really fight for me. I never stopped thinking about you and never stopped wanting to reach out and reconnect."
