Tori Spelling shared a heartfelt memory of her former boyfriend, actor Patrick Muldoon, who died suddenly on April 19 at the age of 57.
Spelling dated Muldoon in the 1990s while he was starring on Beverly Hills, 90210 and he appeared on Melrose Place.
She took to Instagram to post an emotional tribute late Tuesday.
“This post took me a few days. I wasn’t ready to write because then it felt real. And this shouldn’t be real,” she wrote.
Reflecting on their relationship, Spelling recalled their playful bond and shared memories of singing Grease together at her 22nd birthday party.
“We shared a love of Broncos, guitars, goofing off, playing tag and Grease! Loved busting out Grease. I was Sandy to his Danny!” she said.
She praised Muldoon’s warmth and humor.
The spelling revealed that they affectionately called each other “f— face.”
“He was special and one of a kind. The most kind and caring person with the strangest sense of humor. We got each other! Laughed a lot! I laughed with him and at him and he loved it… We called each other F—face ????. That was us!”
Spelling also highlighted his support during her divorce, recalling how he would check in and send her “the worst jokes” to make her laugh.
“He always showed up. And he was a true hype man 4 those he cared about. He was a big part of my formative 20’s. We continued to be great friends! Still laughing and always caring,” she wrote.
Muldoon’s passing has prompted tributes from many, including Denise Richards, who described him as her “best friend and my family.”
Richards’ daughter Lola Sheen also wrote: “When I think of my childhood I think of you Pat. And it will be so strange to go on without you in our lives.”
Muldoon will be remembered for roles on Days of Our Lives, Melrose Place and Saved by the Bell.
