NEW YORK —  Tori Spelling and her husband, actor Dean McDermott, are expecting their first child together. The 33-year-old Spelling, daughter of the late producer Aaron Spelling, will give birth in the spring, Spelling's representative, Jill Fritzo, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

McDermott, 39, had roles in the movies "Against the Ropes" and "Open Range." He has a 7-year-old son, Jack, and a 1-year-old daughter, Lola, from his first marriage.

Spelling and McDermott met last year while filming the TV movie "Mind Over Murder." Spelling was married at the time to actor-writer Charlie Shanian, who filed for divorce last October, a little more than a year after marrying the former "Beverly Hills, 90210" alumna.

Spelling recently starred as a fictionalized version of herself in VH1's "so noTORIous."
