Shiva McDermott (AKA Shiva Rose), 28, is an actress of Iranian/French descent. Her maiden name is Afshar. She is Dylan McDermott's wife since 1995.

They met in 1995 in a coffeeshop near Santa Monica in LA. It was at one of the lowpoints in his life. He says he heard a whisper to "look" once he was inside and he knew she was the one at first site. She was the first woman he ever pursued. Dylan says he believes in true love. Dylan says one thing he loves most about his wife is her generosity. She says she didn't have love at first site with him, but he eventually won her over. Dylan says he had to take her into a tunnel of love and drug her to get her to finally see the light. That's a Scorpio for you. Shiva used to work for Betsey Johnson in LA. Shiva gives Dylan fashion advice. But he wishes she would work on her driving skills. She currently resides in a $4 million home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. The home used to belong to Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas.


Children:


Colette
Shiva and Dylan have a preschool daughter, Colette. They call her 'Coco' as a nickname.
Shiva debuted on The Practice on 10/25/98 (season 3, episode 4) as an Iranian suing for wrongful termination from a job over her nationality. Jimmy defends his cousin against her and loses (the judge overturns the jury verdict. I never knew they could do that) then asks her for a date. That's our Jimmy. Anyway, Dylan in a recent Canadian TV Guide said she did a great job and looked beautiful. We couldn't agree more. Our spies tell us she may become more of a regular on The Practice.

There was an article in some tabloid that said the couple went to a psychic who told them they would conceive on Valentines Day 99. I guess you have arrived when the tabloids print gossip about you.
