According to Spelling, the former couple "had our ups and downs and problems throughout" their 18-year marriage, but they "had absolutely no problems throughout the divorce."
"We had enough trauma throughout the marriage," she added. "Let us have a moment. We have no trauma. This is a drama-free uncoupling and divorce."
Despite the split, Spelling confirmed the exes have "a clean slate. Neither of us asked the other for anything. We walked away as two complete partners that are just there to support love, raise, and set a great example of how families can divorce, uncouple, and lead by example and still be there for their family."
Spelling and McDermott share five kids: Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 8.
