Tori Spelling: 'I Conceived During a 48-hour Break From Contraception'

Tori Spelling says the birth of her second baby was meant to be -- because she conceived during a 48-hour break from contraception.

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress, 35, gave birth to baby Stella on 9 June -- her second child with husband Dean McDermott -- just a year after having son Liam.

She says, "I was on one pill and I wasn't feeling well, so I went off it.

"Two days later the doctor put me on another and that day we conceived. It was meant to be!"

And Dean –- who has son Jack, 9, from a previous relationship -– is thrilled to have a daughter.

"When I saw Stella for the first time I bawled my face off out of pure joy," he tells Britain's OK! magazine.

"I've always heard that there's nothing like a bond between father and daughter.

"There is nothing like it, you feel it that moment. It hit me like a ton of bricks."

Tori and actor Dean, 41, got married in May 2006.
