  • Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott had dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Los Angeles with their five children Saturday
  • The couple enjoys being a family, but there is a "great deal of tension" between them, a report says
  • Spelling met with her lawyers and was planning to file for divorce "very soon," another report claims

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott took their kids out to dinner over the Thanksgiving weekend amid rumors that the couple is headed for divorce, a report says.

On Saturday, Spelling, 48, and McDermott, 55, were spotted dining at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Los Angeles with their five children — sons Liam Aaron, 14, Finn Davey, 9, and Beau Dean, 4, and daughters Stella Doreen, 13, and Hattie Margaret, 10, People reported.

An unnamed source recently told the outlet that while the couple would "prefer to keep the marriage strong," there was a "great deal of tension" between the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum and the Canadian actor.

"They both enjoy being a family and love their lives with the kids, but there is a great deal of tension between them which continues to make them drift further apart," the insider said. "They have gotten to a point where there are no easy fixes."

Despite their marriage troubles, McDermott may spend part of the Christmas holidays with Spelling "for the sake of the children," the insider added.

According to the source, the kids love and enjoy being with their father.

Another unnamed insider previously told People that things have been "very chilly" between the couple and that Spelling had "major trust issues" due to his infidelity. McDermott previously admitted to cheating on his wife in 2014.

The same source claimed that while they spend time together during family meals and occasional outings with their children, Spelling and McDermott were already "living separate lives."

Last week, E! News reported, citing an anonymous source close to the actress, that Spelling met with her lawyers and was planning to file for divorce "very soon."

"The marriage is over and has been for a very long time now," the insider claimed, adding, "[Tori's] trying to work it all out and make sure she is financially OK first."

The insider went on to claim that divorce "has been a long time coming" for them and that the two "truly do not get along" despite years of trying to make their marriage work for the sake of their kids.

The source also claimed that they have been sleeping in separate rooms — something Spelling previously mentioned during an appearance on SiriusXM Radio Andy's "Jeff Lewis Live" in June, fueling split rumors.

Reps for Spelling and McDermott didn't immediately respond to requests for comment, according to the outlet.
