Tori Spelling shared a heartfelt memory of her ex-boyfriend, actor Patrick Muldoon, who died suddenly on April 19 at the age of 57.
Spelling dated Muldoon in the 1990s while she was starring on Beverly Hills, 90210 and appearing on Melrose Place.
She took to Instagram to write a touching tribute on Tuesday night.
“This post took me a couple days. I wasn’t ready to write because then it seemed 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 the Broncos, guitars, silliness, playing tag and Grease! I loved singing Grease. I was Sandy to his Danny!” she said.
He praised Muldoon’s warmth and humor.
The spelling revealed that they were affectionately called “shitface.”
“He was special and one of a kind. The kindest, most caring human being with the strangest sense of humor. We have each other! We laugh 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 communicate with her and send her “the worst jokes” to make her laugh.
“He always showed up. And he was a real hype man for those he cared about. He was a big part of my 20s upbringing. We went on to be good friends! Still laughing and always caring,” she wrote.
Muldoon’s passing has drawn 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 very strange to go on without you in our lives.”
Muldoon will be remembered for his roles on Days of Our Lives, Melrose Place and Saved by the Bell.
