Tori Spelling Caught Kissing ‘DWTS’ Pro Ezra Sosa At Gala

The 51-year-old star, who was voted off of the ABC reality competition show during the first round of eliminations alongside Anna Delvey, was spotted sharing a quick kiss with Sosa while attending the Dancers Against Cancer’s 10th Annual Gala of Star Awards at the Beverly Hilton on Wednesday, October 9.

The kiss comes months after Tori Spelling filed for divorce from her husband of 18 years.

In a photo shared to Tori Spelling’s Instagram Stories, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress was seen sharing a kiss with “Dancing With the Stars” pro Ezra Sosa. This comes months after she filed for divorce from Dean McDermott on March 29, 2024, after 18 years of marriage. Spelling cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.

However, it should be noted that Ezra Sosa has come out as gay, meaning this kiss was probably just a sign of affection and close friendship. Plus, Tori Spelling is dating Ryan Cramer, the CEO of Neuron Syndicate Inc.

Following their separation, Spelling filed for divorce in September 2023, citing irreconcilable differences.

As their divorce proceedings continue, Tori Spelling is seeking primary physical custody of their five children, Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau, while Dean McDermott is aiming for joint custody.

Sosa is thrilled to represent the LGBTQ community in the 33rd season of “Dancing With the Stars.”

“When I got the call, I honestly was in a state of shock,” he said, adding that he had waited a long time to achieve this goal, making it feel surreal. However, he acknowledged that being openly proud of his identity has not come without its challenges.

“When I first joined the show, I had a huge sense of imposter syndrome because, at the time, I wasn’t out… and it wasn’t until this year when I realized the power, the power of being fruity and the power of just truly just being yourself,” the pro dancer continued. “When I first joined the show, it was the first time I was in an environment where I truly felt accepted. That has a huge sense of me becoming the person I am today.”

Although Spelling was not partnered with Ezra Sosa this season, she developed a close friendship with the pro, who was actually paired with Anna Delvey. Unfortunately, both Spelling and Delvey were the first to be eliminated this season. During the live show, co-host Julianne Hough asked Delvey what she would take away from the experience, to which she candidly responded, “Nothing.”

Delvey later appeared on Spelling’s podcast, where the two discussed their early eliminations. “You guys told me what I’m supposed to do. I tried to do it and then I still was rejected. And, I’m taking away nothing. This is what I’m taking away from it, because your advice was worthless,” she told Spelling on the podcast. “I felt like, well, they were building me up.”

She continued, “It’s like, oh, well, ‘Only if you smile more, only if you do like x y z. It’s going to be so much better for you.’ And it felt like they put so much effort trying to get me on the show, like, make me feel comfortable just to… eliminate me this early.”

The actress and reality TV star recently appeared on “The Talk” to share her top picks for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy, specifically naming former Disney Channel star Chandler Kinney as the winner.

“Dancing with the Stars” is broadcast on ABC and Disney+ every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
