Dean McDermott checked into rehab, issued statement

After weeks of persistent cheating rumors, Dean McDermott announced he’s checked into rehab.

The actor, who is married to Tori Spelling, said in a statement to People that he regrets recent decisions. The statement reads in full…

I am truly sorry for the mistakes I have made and for the pain I’ve caused my family. I take full responsibility for my actions and have voluntarily checked myself into a treatment center to address some health and personal issues. I am grateful to be getting the help I need so I can become the husband and father my family deserves.

Sources added Dean is getting “intense treatment” at rehab, but is permitted to leave the facility for family visits with Tori and their four children.

“Their priority right now is their children,” the source said of Tori and Dean.

Tori hasn’t addressed the situation on social media, but did publish posts on Twitter and her personal blog about Valentine’s Day Gift Guides. (These were likely scheduled in advance.)

Even before cheating rumors began, Tori and Dean were plagued by money problems. Tori explained in October, “We don’t have a series on the air right now, so we have to be more restrictive of what we can spend, just like anyone who doesn’t currently have a steady job.”
