Randy Spelling Opens Up About ‘Close’ Bond with ‘Resilient’ Sister Tori Spelling: ‘Proud of Her’ (Exclusive)

The relationship between Randy Spelling and older sister Tori Spelling has only deepened over the years.

The Elderly podcast host, 44, talks exclusively to PEOPLE about his current relationship with the 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, whom he praised for being “resilient.” (The actress’ longtime husband, Dean McDermott, recently announced they were separating in a now-deleted post.)

“We had this moment when we were in Palm Springs, we had spring break. I went down there, we went to Universal Studios, and then we were in the desert down there for a while,” the life coach recalls. “The kids were in the pool running around. And we just had a moment looking at them going, ‘That’s it.’

Reflecting on their younger years, Randy continues, “Here we are from these two little kids who, I was five and a half years younger, so we didn’t agree on a lot of things.”

“I just wanted my older sister. I looked up to her. I wanted to watch cartoons, she wanted to watch the news. I’m sure I pissed the hell out of her,” he adds. “So it came from that to a closeness over the years in a different way. I think sometimes I’m a big brother, sometimes there’s a beautiful calm. Sometimes I’m still [a] little brother.”

Randy also notes that “having our kids together and watching these beautiful human beings interact and just thinking we did something good” was “wonderful to witness.”

“We remain close and I am proud of her,” he concludes. “I think she’s a very strong person. She’s resilient.”

Tori Spelling is pictured attending the Los Angeles premiere of Season 2 of Freeform’s ‘Cruel Summer’ at Grace E. Simons Lodge on May 31, 2023 in Los Angeles.

He also sings the praises of Tori to her ex 90210 costar Brian Austin Green, who currently runs iHeartMedia Elderly podcast with Randy and Brian’s now fiancee Sharna Burgess.

“Tori is so incredibly proud of Randy,” Green, 50, tells PEOPLE. “When we did our thing Elderly taking a picture at iHeart, I sent her that picture of us, walking out of the lobby with iHeartMedia behind her, just from the likes, just wanted to share it. That’s Tori, we’ve always had that relationship. And her answer was: ‘Yes.’ She just said that she was very proud of us and what was happening. And she’s so proud of Randy and what he’s become and who he is and how he reaches out and helps people. So this is a really special experience.”

The Special forces star adds, “It’s really cool to see from my perspective because they’re two siblings that I’ve always had a great relationship with. But now, Randy and I are building something really special and amazing… It’s really cool to see what their relationship is like, what our relationship is like. It’s this, not that I’m getting old, but it’s this fun generational thing.”

In Randy’s new podcast with Green and Burgess, 38, the trio will share their life experiences and what they’ve learned along the way. The idea for the project came from a card Randy sent to a now-engaged couple last year after the birth of their first child.

“Brian, when he and Sharna had Zane, I congratulated him on Instagram, and then he said, ‘Oh, hey, good to see you. Let’s talk sometime,'” Randy recalls. “And then, I think maybe [Brian] saw a few of my videos and content I’ve been doing and you texted me late at night. I didn’t get a text until early in the morning and you said, ‘Hey, I’ve been thinking about this, I loved the show, Loveline. And with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. I’d love to do a podcast where we just deal with real issues and problems and talk to people and spread that kind of energy. Would you be interested?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, let’s talk.'”

After feeling it would be a “great idea,” Burgess notes, “Randy’s been asked a lot of times to do podcasts and be a part of other things, but the fact that he’s joining us, we’re very, very grateful because he’s amazing, wonderful , very, very good at what he does.”
