Tori Spelling’s son Finn has officially graduated from elementary school and is ready to take on middle school. The proud mom shared a heartfelt post on Instagram celebrating her son’s milestone. In the photo, Spelling, dressed in a blue maxi dress and black shoes, stands beside Finn, who is sporting shorts, a baseball tee, and Adidas shoes. The backdrop features balloons spelling out “2024,” marking the year of his graduation.
Finn, with a big smile and two thumbs up, seemed excited about his achievement. Spelling captioned the photo, “And, just like that I have a 5th grade graduate… Finn Davey I’m so proud of you! Bye elementary school and hello middle school. I love you chat!”
However, anticipating potential criticism about Finn’s choice of attire, Spelling added a disclaimer: “Disclaimer to the haters: Dress code was shorts FYI bc they had student/teacher kickball aka sports day right b4.” This preemptive move was aimed at addressing any negative comments about Finn’s casual outfit.
Spelling’s followers had mixed reactions. While some criticized the outfit, many defended Finn’s choice, emphasizing that he should be comfortable and happy on his special day. One follower commented, “Why do people need to comment on how other peoples kids are dressed?!? He’s clean and wearing shoes, he’s FINE.” Another added, “It’s sad that you have to do a disclaimer for the haters. He’s a kid and should wear and look however he feels comfortable wearing.” Spelling agreed with the supportive comments, responding with, “Agreed!”
In addition to Finn’s graduation, Spelling also celebrated her youngest son Beau’s graduation from kindergarten. She shared photos of Beau holding his certificate, with Spelling standing proudly beside him. In her caption, she wrote, “Beau Beau is officially a 1st grader. Yesterday he had his end of the year Kindergarten party at school. So proud of this kid! My Baby.”
Spelling, who shares her five children with ex-husband Dean McDermott, has been open about her family’s milestones and challenges. Alongside Finn and Beau, the former couple are parents to Liam, 17, Stella, 16, and Hattie, 12. Recently, Spelling also celebrated Stella’s 16th birthday with a touching Instagram tribute, showcasing photos of Stella over the years.
Despite the joyous occasions, Spelling has had to navigate public scrutiny and criticism, especially when it comes to her children. Her proactive approach in addressing potential negative comments about Finn’s graduation outfit highlights her protective nature as a mother.
As Spelling continues to share her family’s journey, she remains a figure of resilience and strength, always ready to defend her children against unwarranted criticism. Her recent posts celebrating Finn and Beau’s graduations are a testament to her pride and love for her kids, as they reach new milestones in their lives.
