Tori Spelling may be staying strong for her children, but her marital turmoil with hubby Dean McDermott are taking a toll on the blond beauty.

After an insider told E! News that the mother of four and her husband are leading separate lives following a recent report which claims that McDermott cheated on Spelling, a second source tells E! News that the 40-year-old actress is still trying to process the tabloid scandal which is currently plaguing her personal life.

"It's very raw for her right now—she's focusing on the kids," the source tells E! News. 

On Monday, an insider revealed that the pair had "recently moved to a new house together, but since the cheating scandal, Dean hasn't been seen at the house very much. Right now he hasn't been there in several days."

But despite the distance between the couple, it seems that Spelling is doing her best to maintain a normal routine for her four children— Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2 and Finn, 16 months.

"Tori is wearing her wedding ring but it looks like things are very strained," the source shared. "She has had her friend Mehran [Farhat] staying with her and is leaning on him for support. She's trying to keep things together for her kids and is putting on a happy face."

"She's acting as normal as she can and sticking to the same consistent routine," the insider added. "She definitely doesn't want her kids to be affected by what's going on."

Since the cheating allegations made headlines, Tori has shared a number of sweet blog posts on her website—including a pic with McDermott—although she has not been seen in public with her husband of six years.

She was most recently spotted adopting an adorable black dog from an L.A.-area shelter with her four children in tow on Monday, Jan. 6 and she enjoyed dinner with her kids as well as her friend Mehran and the children's nanny on Monday, Dec. 30.

Neither Tori nor Dean have yet to comment on the cheating allegations.
