It's been a rocky road, but Candy and Tori Spelling are finally putting an end to the years-long rift that tore their family apart. "Yes, we're communicating," Candy says, confirming to Life & Style that she and her daughter have gotten past the feud that escalated after the death of Tori's father, legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling. "I'm very happy to say that we've taken it to where I think she and I both want it."

Still, a loving mother-daughter relationship may be a long way off, an insider close to the family notes. Tori, 36, is allowed to visit the mansion where her mother lives, "but only if Candy is notified first," the insider tells Life & Style. But for now, things are clearly improving. On Dec. 2, Candy, 64, spoke with Life & Style about moving forward with her family.
