While Dean McDermott is known to have been born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on November 16, 1966, to David McDermott and Doreen McDermott, information on Emily Goodhand’s parents is yet to be disclosed to the public. Dean is not the only child of his parents. He has three sisters, Dale McDermott, Dawn McDermott and Dana McDermott.
Emily has not revealed her career background. Though her career is unknown, an online source disclosed that she has no links to the entertainment industry. Dean, a graduate of North Albion Collegiate Institute in Ontario, has had a successful acting career, active from 1988 to date.

She rose to fame after an interview with The Sun to talk about her experience with the Canadian actor, who claimed to have been sex-starved by his wife, Torri Spellings.
One-night stand: What happened between Emily Goodhand and Dean McDermott?
Emily Goodhand first appeared in the news in December 2013 when she sat down for an interview with The Sun. In the exclusive interview, Emily narrated everything from meeting Dean McDermott to having sex in a hotel room.
According to the full interview that was later published, Emily had met Dean through some of her friends. There is no clarity on whether they had known each other for a long time or got involved after their first meeting.
In December 2013, while Dean McDermott was on a tour to promote his show, Chopped Canada, he invited Emily to join him at his hotel, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, where they had sex. The duo had sex for two days after Dean confessed to Emily of having a sexless marriage. “He told me he and Tori had a sexless marriage,” Emily confessed.
The issue of a sexless marriage between Dean and his former wife, Tori Spelling, could be real because, according to US Weekly, Tori had complications after she gave birth to their last child. In the publication, it was revealed that Tori had undergone a C-Section before giving birth, and a lot of serious surgeries followed it.
Dean did not deny the allegations made by Emily Goodhand in her interview with The Sun. In several interviews, he talked about his encounter with Emily and how he resolved the issue with his then-wife, Tori Spelling.
According to OKMagazine, Dean McDermott and his ex-wife, Tori, were always desperate for attention and could have cooked up the story of Dean’s one-night stand with Emily for attention. There was insufficient evidence to back the claims; therefore, we assumed the story was true.
