It’s a sweet sixteen to remember for Tori Spelling’s daughter, Stella! The former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star has taken to social media to celebrate her firstborn’s milestone birthday, sharing a heartwarming tribute that captures the essence of their special bond.
In a touching Instagram post, Spelling commemorated Stella’s 16th birthday with a video montage set to the tune of “Lovers Rock” by TV Girl. The clip is a nostalgic journey through Stella’s life, featuring a collection of cherished photographs that showcase her growth from a tiny tot to a blossoming young woman.

Spelling’s caption is a heartfelt ode to her daughter, reflecting on their unique connection and Stella’s remarkable qualities. “Is she my mini me or am I now her mini me?” the proud mom ponders, as the video flashes through snapshots of Stella posing in fashionable outfits, wearing face paint, cooking, and even taking selfies with her mom.
“Will always be my Buggy 🐞. So beautiful inside and out. So wise, funny, creative and best of all KIND. So proud of this human. Love watching her challenge the world as she takes it over,” Spelling gushes, her words overflowing with admiration and pride.
A Family Bound by Love
Stella is the eldest of Spelling’s five children with her ex-husband, Dean McDermott. The couple, who recently finalized their divorce after 18 years of marriage, also shares sons Liam, 17, and Finn, 11, as well as daughters Hattie, 12, and Beau, 7.
While Spelling has kept much of her children’s lives private in recent months, she has occasionally shared glimpses into their world, including updates on Stella’s recent health challenges.
Navigating Health Hurdles
In January 2023, Spelling revealed that Stella had been hospitalized twice due to a hemiplegic migraine, a condition that causes temporary weakness or numbness on one side of the body, mimicking the symptoms of a stroke.
The actress opened up about the ordeal during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live,” expressing concern for her daughter’s well-being while praising her resilience.
Celebrating Milestones, Big and Small
Amidst the challenges, Spelling has found solace in celebrating her children’s milestones. Earlier this year, she marked her oldest son Liam’s 17th birthday with an Instagram post, praising his easygoing nature and ability to “go with the flow.”
Most recently, Spelling shared an update on her youngest child, Beau, as he embarked on his journey into first grade, posting photos from his kindergarten graduation ceremony.
