Jenny McCarthy and Dean McDermott promote Elf Party

Jenny McCarthy and Dean McDermott attended the “Elf Party” hosted by ABC in New York City today. The pair doing the rounds in support of their new movie “Santa Baby 2.”

“Santa Baby 2″ will premiere on Sunday, December 13, 2009 as part of ABC Family’s annual “25 Days of Christmas” programming event.

Dean was talking about the recent reconciliation between his wife, Tori Spelling, and her mother, Candy Spelling. Tori and Candy have been famously feuding up until recently.

Dean said his wife, Tori Spelling, and her mother, Candy Spelling, are keeping mum about their recent move toward rekindling their relationship after being estranged for some time.

“There’s been communication,” Dean confirmed.

Dean, who has two children with Tori – son Liam, who turns 3 in March, and Stella, 18 months — said Grandma Candy recently visited with the tots.

“Candy’s seen the kids and that’s what’s important,” he said.

While the two women both previously spoke out publicly about their estrangement over the years, Dean said they are taking it slow, and keeping things quiet this time around.

“We’ll see where it goes and we’ll just keep everything private the way it should be,” he said.

Dean added during his appearance on “Today” that Tori and Candy are “working towards stuff. Candy is seeing the kids so we’ll try and keep everything private and positive.”

After seeing Dean on “Today,” Tori complimented her man.

“love you in a Cardigan,” she posted on her Twitter account. “Oh hell, I just love ya period.”
