Tori Spelling Breaks Silence Over the Loss of Patrick Muldoon
In a lengthy Instagram post, Tori Spelling opened up about her longtime friendship with Patrick Muldoon.
The 90210 alum said the duo had met on a blind date. “Which thankfully wasn’t a blind date at all because we were both on a TV series,” she wrote. “Like every other girl in the world, I crushed on his character, Austin, from Days of Our Lives. Not sure I ever disclosed that to him,” she wrote. “What I met and ultimately fell in love [with] was not just a beautiful on the outside creature, but the most beautiful soul.”
Spelling also described Muldoon as a “special and one of a kind” person and “the kindest, most caring human [with the] raddest, weird sense of humor.”
“We got each other! Laughed a lot!” she continued. “I laughed w/him and at him, and he loved it. Was multi-talented. Passionate about everything he did. 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.”
Spelling further gave Muldoon credit as being a “huge part” of her “formative 20s.”
“We went on to be good friends! Still laughing & always caring,” she then added. “Decades later, I found him to be such a true friend/hype man when I was going thru my divorce. He would call and check on me and send me the worst jokes to make me laugh.”
The duo had worked together on a TV film, Deadly Pursuits.
