(Extra) "Extra's" Terri Seymour with Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, in a exclusive interview. Spelling and McDermott open up about the day their four year old daughter Stella and six year old son Liam saw a 'Star' magazine cover claiming Spelling and her husband, 46, were splitting.

Tori on the rumors she and McDermott were splitting and that he taunted her over her weight and had been unfaithful: "I was horrified because I've had stories written about me for years and you develop a tough skin and you kind of move on, because there's really nothing you can do to stop them... But, all of the sudden when your child reaches an age and you realize, 'Oh my gosh, they can read it,' then it takes on a whole new meaning."

Terri asked how Tori explained the magazine cover to Stella and Liam, "They didn't understand because Stella, who's very literal, said, 'Well it's in a magazine and that means it's the truth. That's what magazines are. They tell us things that are true. They report news.' And that was a tough one to say it's not true, I kept reassuring her that everything's great. We're all together as a family." Dean, "They see us every day." Tori explained that they are a very interactive family, "We do everything together."

As far as son Liam's reaction Tori said, "It really put it all into perspective the day that he was like, he's just learning to read and the fact that he can put words together and piece together what the story was about and see a picture of himself and his siblings, that was devastating."

Tori also commented on the open letter she wrote on her blog to 'Star,' "It made me feel a little better about it�It was more because I wanted other moms to know what we were going through, that we might be in a different situation, we might have people staring at our lives but we're all, at the core, we're the heads of the family and we're keeping our family safe and happy." Dean called the letter beautiful.

The couple also recently came under fire after tweeting about taking a family shower together. Dean, "It's a wonderful bonding experience." Tori, "It's a family tradition when they're like two months old, we start bringing the babies in the shower and getting them used to the water�And I'm gonna drive the point home, You try having 4 small children 6 and under..6 months to 6 years and having to bathe each one individually, it takes up a lot of time�So don't give us any grief."

Tori and Dean not ruling out adding more children to their family, Dean, "If it happens, it happens." Dean explaining, "We are as happy as ground beef......" more on this story
