Tori Spelling has remembered her ex-boyfriend Patrick Muldoon as the “kindest, most caring human” following his passing.
The 52-year-old actress took to social media to pay tribute to her former lover, who has passed away aged 57, and the star has recalled falling in love with Patrick and his “beautiful soul” after they first met on a blind date.
She wrote on Instagram: “This post took me a couple days. I wasn’t ready to write because then it felt real. And, this shouldn’t be real. @thepatrickmuldoon and I met on a blind date. Which thankfully wasn’t a blind date at all because we were both on a tv series.
“Like every other girl in the world I crushed on his character Austin from Days of Our Lives.
Not sure I ever disclosed that to him.
“What I met and ultimately fell in love w/ was not just a beautiful on the outside creature but the most beautiful soul.
“He was special and one of a kind. The kindest most caring human w/ raddest weird sense of humor. We got each other! Laughed a lot ! I laughed w/him and at him and he loved it. Was multi talented. Passionate about everything he did. And, he had a knack for making others smile + brought absolute joy to everyone that was blessed to be in his orbit. A true gift.
“We shared a love of Broncos, guitars, goofing off, playing tag, and Grease! Loved to belt out Grease. I was Sandy to his Danny! (sic)”
Tori also grew close to Patrick’s family, including his sister, Shana Muldoon Zappa, and last summer she enjoyed spending time with the Days of Our Lives star and his “true love” Miriam Rothbart.
She said: “I also fell in love w/his sister @shanazappa. Their close brother sister relationship reminded me of my brother. His parents are amazing as well.
“I loved how close their family unit was! Professionally he always showed up. And, was a true hype man 4 those he cared about. He was a huge part of my formative 20’s.
“We went on to be good friends! Still laughing + always caring.
“Decades later I found him to be such a true friend/hype man when I was going thru my divorce.
“He would call and check on me and send me the worst jokes to make me laugh. He loved when I rolled my eyes. Now I miss those stupid jokes.
“I last saw him past summer. Finally met his soulmate @miriamrothbart.
“He said we would get along + I instantly got it! She was his perfect balance. He was just having his moment. His element. Found true love, acting + producing became his “jam” as he would say. Crushing it! (sic)”
But Tori regrets not arranging to have dinner with Patrick and Miriam after their meeting last year.
She added: “Don’t believe in regrets but regret not setting that dinner w/him + Miriam after that. Life is short. Set that dinner.
“We called each other F***face [crying laughing emoji]. That was us!
“I’m sorry to his family and the world for a beautiful light put out too soon. LoveU 4EVR F***Face (sic)”
Patrick’s death was confirmed by his manager to Variety, with Deadline reporting that it followed a heart attack.
The late actor was known for his roles as Austin Reed on Days of Our Lives from 1992 to 1995 and as Richard Hart on Melrose Place for three seasons until 1996.
