One week after spending New Year’s Eve with her children, Tori Spelling has revealed that her “entire family has COVID.”
“I share a lot on social media but this is one thing I didn’t want to share…,” the mother of five began her lengthy Instagram explanation.
“Our entire family has COVID,” the 48-year-old “90210” star continued. “Yes, every single member got it. We all have varying degrees of symptoms. I was last to be symptomatic. We all were praying it was just a bad winter cold. But it wasn’t.
“Nothing is worse than wanting to care for your little ones but feeling so sick you can barely function yourself,” Spelling confessed. “I feel useless as a parent. Devastated. A mom is supposed to take care of their kiddos when sick. That’s how it works. But, we are all getting thru this together.”
Spelling and husband Dean McDermott, 55, share children Liam, 14, Stella, 13, Hattie, 10, Finn, 9, and 4-year-old Beau.
“If I’m not responding please understand,” she went on. “Give me some time. We are right in the thick of it. For reference : This post took 45 min of starting and stopping to write. 😷#covidsucks.”
Spelling’s reveal comes amid a surge of COVID cases throughout the country due to the highly contagious omicron variant.
Last week, Spelling and her brood visited Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa for NYE, while husband — and rumored soon-to-be ex, McDermott — stayed indoors while fighting pneumonia.
“Happy New year Everyone!!! I’m down but not out!! Pneumonia sucks,” he captioned a selfie-style video posted to his Instagram, “but I’m not going to let it dampen my spirits!! I hope your 2022 is full of love, light and prosperity. Much love to you all.”
