Following the birth of her daughter, Tori Spelling has received some public well wishes from her once-estranged mother, Candy Spelling.

“There is nothing like the happiness and elation of welcoming a new grandchild!” Candy said in a statement to Access Hollywood. “Of course, I am thrilled about little Stella and now Liam has a sister which is what Tori had hoped for. This is a very happy time for the family and I know [her father] Aaron would have been overjoyed!”

Tori and husband Dean McDermott welcomed daughter Stella Doreen on June 9. She was delivered at 3:13 PM at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and weighed 6 lbs., 8 oz. 

Tori and her mother had a very public falling out following the death of Tori’s father, Aaron Spelling.

However, when the couple’s son, Liam, was born in March 2007, Tori and Candy began to reconcile and have since been cordial toward each other. 

“It was mutual,” Tori told Us Weekly at the time. “We both reached out at the same time by phone in the weeks before I had Liam.”

But what led to the original bout of two-sided silent treatment? 

“Nothing really transpired between us,” Tori added. “After reading so many stories, I think we both thought, ‘Does she hate me? Did I do something?’ We were both scared to reach out to each other. Now that we’re together, we realize that there is no feud.”
