In about three months, Tori Spelling will have a new man in her life.
The former "Berverly Hills, 90210" star and her husband, actor Dean McDermott, are expecting a son together, reports People.
"We are thrilled to be having a son together," says Spelling. "Little boys are a ton of fun. We love talking to him. We play tunes for him and watch him kick. He already loves the Dixie Chicks. We went to their concert and he kicked the whole time."
Having a boy gives Spelling a way to honor her late father, TV giant Aaron Spelling.
"Yes, his middle name will be Aaron," she says. "Dean and I feel it's the perfect way to honor the memory of my father."
A first name still hasn't been chosen.
Spelling, 33, and McDermott, 39, met on the Ottawa set of the TV movie "Mind Over Murder" in 2005. Both were married to other people at the time -- Spelling to actor-writer Charlie Shanian, and McDermott to Canadian TV personality Mary Jo Eustace. Divorces soon followed, and the new couple married in Fiji in May.
The baby will be Spelling's first child. McDermott has a son, Jack, with Eustace, with whom he also adopted a daughter right before meeting Spelling. He is no longer the girl's legally adoptive father.
"Now Jack will have the baby brother he's been wanting," adds McDermott.
Spelling is best known as the virginal Donna Martin on "Beverly Hills, 90210," which was produced by her father, the late Aaron Spelling. Her other credits include various TV movies, the short-lived sitcom "The Help," "The House of Yes," "Trick," "Scary Movie 2" and the prophetically named "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." She most recently starred as a fictionalized version of herself on VH1's "so noTORIous" and held a yard sale so she could downsize and make room for all the onesies and diapers she'll need.
