Tori Spelling Pregnant: Dean McDermott Roped Into Tori’s Controlling Ways Via Baby #5?

Tori Spelling might be pregnant, apparently. While the news hasn’t been confirmed so-to-speak, a report by InTouch Weekly claims that Tori has been wearing maternity clothes. This tidbit comes just a few days after a new trailer for True Tori was revealed in which Tori said, “I may be pregnant.” Either keeping the media on a string or really expecting a baby, Tori is playing the part of mom-to-be (again) with ease — and maybe with a purpose.

Of course, it is possible that Tori is desperate for people to watch her reality show, so if she can draw attention to herself and to her family by wearing maternity clothes and ordering water with dinner, why not? It’s no secret that she and her husband, Dean McDermott, need the money, and ratings usually equal another season in the reality television world.

If Tori Spelling is pregnant, not too many people would be surprised. Well, they might be a little taken aback given the fact that Dean cheated on her, and the two have been trying to work things out for several months… but that is not to say that they haven’t been intimate. The couple already has four children, Liam, 7, Stella, 6, and Hattie, 3, and Finn, 2.

This (maybe) pregnancy could have been an attempt to save Tori and Dean’s failing marriage as well. Why?

“When she’s pregnant, Dean’s there for her. So she uses her pregnancies as a way to control him. It’s bizarre,” a source explained.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have a lot to work on, as evidenced by the Season 2 trailer of True Tori posted below.

“According to Lifetime, season two will follow Tori, 41, in near real-time as she ‘searches for honesty and happiness with Dean.’ The ‘90210’ actress will also address everything from her complicated family relationships to her much talked-about business ventures, all while she struggles to juggle her four kids and salvage her marriage,” reports Entertainment Tonight.

It seems as though most people assume that Tori’s whole “I’m pregnant” thing is just for publicity… but will a stunt like this actually help her reality show? Probably not. But it sure is getting people talking.

According to The Inquisitr, Tori said that she didn’t want to go through another pregnancy. Sure, things happen. People change their minds. But do you think that Tori and Dean are actually expecting baby #5 given the circumstances?

True Tori returns to Lifetime on October 21.
