The exes were spotted meeting at a local public storage facility on Tuesday to sort through several bins and boxes containing their personal belongings following their shock split last summer.

The former couple turned out to be they’ve been on good terms lately, and even recently got together to celebrate their son’s birthday with Dean’s current girlfriend, Lily Calo, earlier this month.

But things took a turn for the worse on Tuesday when tensions flared as they shuffled items in and out of the storage room, leading Tori to burst into tears.

The couple – who announced their divorce in June – seemed to go through a rollercoaster of emotions during the meeting, sometimes chatting amicably and then bickering, with Tori at one point.throwing a large plastic bag containing personal items into the air.

Dean, 57, then appeared to console her, before the pair had a more civil conversation while sitting in the back of the unlocked SUV.

The exes eventually said goodbye, but once alone, the 90210 alum became overwhelmed with emotion and began sobbing behind the wheel of her car.

Tori, who was dressed casually in a black crop top, jeans and Converse sneakers, took a moment to compose herself before ultimately making off with her belongings.

The dramatic reunion comes nearly ten months after Tori and Dean’s divorce after 18 years of marriage.

The couple appeared to have reached a healthy place in their divorce in late February when they were spotted together at a park in Agoura Hills for the first time since their split.

Although the two didn’t appear to be smiling, they seemed somewhat casual in their behavior, both Tori and Dean relaxing against the metal railing every now and then.

It’s unclear what brought the two together after seemingly months apart.

And just a week later, the exes further proved that they’re dealing with their breakup maturely, after Tori, Dean and his new girlfriend Lily hung out together at one of their kids’ birthday parties at Dave & Busters in LA.

The actor later spoke about the mixed family affair in an interview Page sixsaying that his ex and new partner ‘get along fantastically.’

Dean has been going strong with Lily for six months now and admits he introduced his new girlfriend to the five children he shares with Tori.

“I met the kids, they’re doing well,” he added.

When asked what Tori and Lily’s relationship is like in general, Dean said, “They hang out when we’re all together.” They’re going to break up…they’re going to play video games together and then they’re going to chat in the corner,” he explained, seemingly referencing son Beau’s recent birthday at the arcade.

Before their unlikely reunion in LA, Tori and Dean were last pictured together in June 2023, when they attended the Luskin Orthopedic Institute For Children Gala with four of their five children.

Just over a week later, Dean announced in an Instagram post that he and his wife were splitting up, although he quickly deleted the post.

It seems Dean has found some much-needed stability with his new girlfriend Lily in recent months, but Tori has had a series of stressful moves for her and their children.

She became functionally homeless when she moved out of the family home into a $100-a-night hotel last July — which she said was due to a dangerous mold infestation in the family home.

A month later, she and the kids: Liam, 16; Stella, 15; Hattie, 12; Finn, 11; and Beau, who turns seven on March 2, were seen temporarily living in a camper at a caravan park.

Tori seemed to have a more settled living situation when she moved with her family into a rental house later that year, but that didn’t work out for unforeseen reasons.

The actress and her children’s time in the new home came to an end in October after an armed neighbor barricaded himself in a nearby house and took a hostage.

Tori and her family were forced to quickly evacuate the house by a SWAT team in response to the terrifying standoff.

But things were looking up for the former primetime soap star after DailyMail.com exclusively reported earlier this week that she had moved into a $15,000-a-month rental home in Woodland Hills.

The San Fernando Valley property boasts 3,000 square feet of space and features five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The rental allows cats and dogs, although it’s unclear whether Tori will be allowed to bring some of the more exotic pets that Dean claimed made the end of their time together particularly miserable.

In his exclusive two-part interview with DailyMail.com in November, the actor revealed that he and Tori had not regularly shared a bedroom since 2017, due to her insistence on allowing animals to stay in the room.
