Tori Spelling shared a rare photo with all five of her children before her debut performance on Dancing With the Stars.
The star – who is the sixth Beverly Hills, 90210 actor to join DWTS – was already dressed in her costume for the night.
She stood at the center of the photo surrounded by Liam, 17, Stella, 16, twins Hattie and Finn, 12, and Beau, seven.
And only on was shorter than her: Beau.
Tori, 51, shared a lengthy caption on the Instagram post gushing over having her kids there and saying they are her reason ‘why.’
‘Here’s my WHY… my 5 babies coming to see me perform LIVE on DWTS! Showing my kids that at any point or age you can push past your fears and believe in yourself,’ she began.
‘This so far has been the hardest yet one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I danced to my personal anthem “Trust Fall” with my amazing partner @pashapashkov.’

Tori went on to talk about her lack of dance training before joining the popular ABC competition.
‘I’ve never had any dance experience, training, or lessons. I do not workout { except hustling and taking care of 5 kiddos} and I have a huge fear of performing in front of an audience. But, I’m doing it!
‘I’m putting my heart and soul into this journey. I’m finding ME! The ballroom is my therapy ❤️. Having the time of my life. So proud of that young version of myself who was shy, fearful, insecure, and didn’t feel worthy. Finding your worth is POWERFUL!
She gushed, ‘Thank you @dancingwiththestars for this opportunity to do this for myself, my kids, and everyone out there who has ever felt this way about themselves. I dance this season 33 for all of us.’
Tori shares her kids with her ex-husband Dean McDermott, 57.
Tori is the sixth 90210 alum to take part in DWTS after the late Shannen Doherty, Ian Ziering, Jennie Garth, Brian Austin Green and Gabrielle Carteris.
The surviving five former contestants gathered at 90s Con in Daytona Beach, Florida last week and all agreed that the competition is ‘hard’ and sent well wishes for their longtime friend and former co-star.
‘Keep your head on, enjoy the experience,’ Green said via People, adding, ‘It’s a seven-day-a-week job.’
Garth expressed, ‘I’m so excited for her I think she’s going to do great,’ while Carteris added that she’s ‘really really excited’ for Spelling.
‘We’re all rooting for her,’ Ziering said and urged the audience to support her with their votes. ‘Make sure you do the same.’
During her first performance on DWTS, Spelling danced the Foxtrot with her partner Pasha Pashkov, who was formerly paired with Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix.
‘I’m from the most famous zip code in America – 90210,’ Tori said.
Tori said she passed on the show for 32 seasons. Pasha asked her why she said yes now.

‘Literally 50 hit and my life exploded,’ Tori said. ‘I’m going through a really public divorce. Everything I thought I was has been burned to the ground and I’m really trying to find myself again.’
She picked ‘Trust Fall’ by Pink to dance the Foxtrot. Tori kept a smile and even sang the words as Pasha spun her around the dance floor.
Derek said she seemed a little stiff while Bruno said, ‘You did very well,’ before admitting, ‘There’s a lot of work to do.’
The judges gave her a score of 17 out of 30.
