In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Stella expressed her joy for her final year in high school, stating, “Right now, I’m really taking my time and enjoying my last year with all my friends. Then, I am starting to apply for colleges and stuff. That is coming up, and I’m just really excited for what’s coming.” Tori Spelling chimed in, sharing her daughter’s ambitions of pursuing higher education.
Having gone through a similar phase of transition herself, Tori finds solace in the fact that she can support Stella through this pivotal time in her life. She marvels at Stella’s positive outlook and ability to connect with others, stating, “She has a great group of friends, and she really knows how to speak to people.
