Tori Spelling & Brian Austin Green Explain 18-Year Silence After ‘90210’

Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling are shedding light on the reasons behind their decades-long estrangement and how they managed to restore their friendship.

On Monday’s episode of Green’s “Oldish” podcast, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” actors discussed their personal and professional paths over the past 24 years since they starred in the popular teen series, which aired from 1990 to 2000.

Spelling, who played Donna Martin, recounted how she cried during the filming of the show’s final episode, fearing that she and Green would lose contact.

“It felt almost like going through a divorce,” Spelling remarked. “[It was] time to move on, but also, like, I’m losing that human I’m with every day and have that connection with. What’s going to happen now?”

“I remember you reassuring me that it was going to be OK,” she continued. “I remember you said, ‘We’re going to always be together. We’re even going to go on vacations together.’ And that was the last time we spoke for 18 years.”

Green, who portrayed David Taylor, Donna’s boyfriend and later husband, did not dispute Spelling’s account. He even recounted an awkward encounter at a “90210” DVD release party.

“You were married to Dean [McDermott] at that point, and I was there with Megan [Fox]… you guys got there and you never said hello to me once,” Green said. “I just kept missing you guys, and then you were gone for the night.”

For Spelling, her break in communication with Green was due to her “complicated” three-year relationship with actor Vincent Young, who played Noah Hunter on “90210.”

“I lost myself in that relationship again, as I had done previously in relationships and went on to do in relationships,” she said. “I’m going to correct that one day.”

Despite the rocky past, Green reassured listeners that their friendship is now intact.

“We’re back to having that relationship that we had, so I love the fact that we can have this conversation now,” he said. “We won. It’s a victory lap that we get to take on this. We made it through, and here we are again.”

Recently, Green and Spelling have been in the news following the death of their “90210” co-star Shannen Doherty, who passed away at age 53 last month. Both actors honored Doherty, who had a very public battle with cancer, on social media.
