Tori Spelling’s time on “Dancing with the Stars” ended sooner than many fans expected, leaving them feeling disappointed. However, the actress is choosing to see her elimination in a positive light, feeling grateful and empowered by the experience.
This week on “Dancing with the Stars,” it was a big emotional moment as Tori Spelling became the latest celebrity to leave the competition.
The actress and her professional partner, Pasha Pashkov, danced a touching rumba to “This Is Me” from “The Greatest Showman.” Their performance was filled with emotion and showcased their connection on the dance floor.
Their routine received a score of 19 out of 30, bringing their total to 36 over two weeks. Unfortunately, this wasn’t enough to keep Spelling in the competition. Her elimination surprised the audience and left fans with mixed feelings about the outcome.
On the other hand, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong captivated everyone with their stunning rumba to Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For.”
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was so touched that she cried, praising them by saying, “You created some moments that really touched us all. When dance can reach inside and pull at our heartstrings like that, it’s incredibly powerful.”
Still, Spelling expressed her belief that everything happens for a reason and that her time on the show happened just as it was meant to. Even though her stay was short, she called the experience amazing.
Feeling thankful for the chance to be on the show, Spelling shared how “Dancing with the Stars” changed her for the better. She mentioned that the experience boosted her confidence and helped her believe in herself more.
Tori Spelling’s departure has definitely split opinions among fans, but as the saying goes, the show must go on! The competition is getting tougher, and with more surprising eliminations expected, this season of “Dancing with the Stars” is set to be an exciting journey.
He was the first man in the world to give birth – 16 years later, he looks like this
In a groundbreaking moment 16 years ago, Thomas Beatie etched his name in history as the world’s first man to undergo pregnancy.
Born female, Thomas underwent a gender transition, now identifying as a transgender man. The global spotlight shone on him when news broke of his remarkable journey to parenthood with the birth of his first daughter, Susan
In a surprising turn of events in 2006, he halted his testosterone treatment with the aspiration of conceiving. Facing fertility challenges with his then-wife Nancy, Thomas made the courageous decision to carry the child himself.
The iconic image of Thomas Beatie sporting a heavily pregnant belly first circulated in 2008, creating ripples across the world. Media dubbed Beatie “the pregnant man” and news of his story quickly spread worldwide.
Yet, the journey was far from smooth, with hate emails and death threats pouring in from numerous quarters, including established media outlets.
”Doctors have discriminated against us, turning us away due to their religious beliefs. Health care professionals have refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognize Nancy as my wife. Receptionists have laughed at us. Friends and family have been unsupportive; most of Nancy’s family doesn’t even know I’m transgender,” Thomas later said.
During an extensive 48-hour labor, Susan, the first child of Thomas and Nancy, was born into the world healthy and happy. Thomas, determined to opt for a natural birth, defied expectations. His case marked the first documented instance where a legally recognized male gave birth within a marital union with a woman.

Over the course of five years without testosterone, Thomas experienced four more pregnancies (one of which resulted in an ectopic pregnancy). Together with his first wife, Nancy, he raised Susan and sons Austin and Jensen, presenting themselves as a traditional family with strong values.
In a significant television debut, Thomas Beatie took center stage with an exclusive hour-long interview on the Oprah Winfrey Show in April 2008. Addressing a global audience, he openly discussed his belief in the reproductive right to bear a child, irrespective of his male gender identity.
During the interview, Beatie emphasized: “It’s not a male or female desire to want to have a child; it’s a human desire. I’m a person, and I have the right to have my own biological child.”
His words echoed a powerful assertion of his personal autonomy and challenged conventional perceptions surrounding gender and parenthood.
In 2016, Thomas entered a new chapter, marrying a new partner, Amber. Despite having known each other since 2012, a tumultuous divorce with Nancy delayed Thomas and Amber’s nuptials.
The couple moved to Oregon with their blended family, consisting of Susan, Austin, Jensen, and Amber’s grandchild Lily.
Reflecting on their bustling household, Thomas shared: “It can get pretty loud with four kids aged 3, 5, 6, and 7, but we love it,” in an interview with Daily Mail.

In a recent interview with USA Today, he shared insights into his current endeavors, revealing that he now works as a stockbroker in Phoenix. He continues to live with his wife Amber, whom he met at the daycare where his children were enrolled.
His older children divide their time between his residence and their mother’s home, located approximately ten miles away.
According to Thomas, he lives a relatively quiet life but once in a while, he does public-speaking jobs and takes on modest acting opportunities.
Looking back on the whirlwind of attention that surrounded him 16 years ago when he graced the front pages, Thomas acknowledged the lasting impact of those significant moments in his life.

Reflecting on the past, Thomas, now in his 50s, remarked: “When my story came out, there wasn’t a single person in the public eye as a transgender man — most people had never heard of it.”
”This was pre-Chaz Bono. This was pre-Caitlyn Jenner. This was before anyone knew anything. It was a first exposure for a lot of people. And then on top of that, they can give birth! I think exposing the importance of fertility for trans people was a huge eye-opener.”
”Everything was a whirlwind,” he said. ”But I still don’t regret it,” Thomas shared.
