Tori Spelling was spotted enjoying a night out on the town with a friend on Sunday evening, just days after the death of her ex-boyfriend Patrick Muldoon. The reality TV star, 52, put on a brave face and smiled as she exited West Hollywood hotspot Craig's in a revealing sheer dress adorned with silver sequins.
Just days earlier, Spelling shared a heartfelt tribute to Muldoon, the late actor she dated in the 1990s. The Days of Our Lives star died from a heart attack at the age of 57 on Sunday, April 19. She had previously dated Muldoon shortly after he ended his relationship with Denise Richards and had recently reunited with him on her MisSpelling podcast in October 2025.
Instagram Tribute
After learning of the tragic news, she took to Instagram to share throwback photos of them together and wrote a lengthy caption dedicated to the Melrose Place star. She wrote that she had a crush on his character from Days of Our Lives and later fell for his 'beautiful soul' and his 'raddest, weird sense of humor.'
She also gushed about Muldoon's impact on her life and called him a 'huge part of [her] formative' years in her twenties. 'This post took me a couple days,' Spelling began. 'I wasn't ready to write because then it felt real. And, this shouldn't be real.'
In a lengthy Instagram caption, she remembered Muldoon as being 'special and one of a kind' as well as 'the kindest most caring human [with] raddest weird sense of humor.' She recalled meeting him on a blind date, 'which thankfully wasn't a blind date at all because we were both on a TV series' at the time.
'He was a huge part of my formative 20's. We went on to be good friends! Still laughing & always caring,' she wrote in the post.
Night Out Details
Spelling was seen exiting Craig's with her arm interlocked with her friend's as she strutted down the street in platform pumps. Paired with the sheer dress, she wore a brown fur coat as a shawl on her arms. Her friend wore a black sequin top paired with burgundy shorts and over-the-knee boots to coordinate with Spelling's dazzling attire. They left Craig's and got into her car after their night out in West Hollywood.
Her outing marked the first time she was seen in public since the death of her ex-boyfriend Patrick Muldoon.
Continued Tributes
'Decades later I found him to be such a true friend/hype man when I was going thru my divorce,' she added, referencing her split from Dean McDermott in 2023 after 18 years of marriage and welcoming five children together.
'He would call and check on me and send me the worst jokes to make me laugh,' she said about Muldoon. 'He loved when I rolled my eyes. Now I miss those stupid jokes.'
'We got each other! Laughed a lot! I laughed [with] him and at him and he loved it. Was multi talented. Passionate about everything he did,' Spelling continued. 'And, he had a knack for making others smile & brought absolute joy to everyone that was blessed to be in his orbit. A true gift,' she added.
'I last saw him past summer,' she continued before gushing about his 'soulmate' Miriam Rothbart, his girlfriend whom he had been dating for years up until his death.
