Dean Norris and his wife, Bridget Norris, are calling it quits after 20 years of marriage, with the couple's financial issues amid their divorce also emerging.
Last year, Bridget filed for divorce from the Breaking Bad alum on Valentine's Day, February 14, of last year, according to court documents Page Six obtained. While the 63-year-old actor addressed the split in May 2025, it appears his divorce from Bridget has not yet been finalized.
Dean and Bridget's breakup comes as the now-exes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for their restaurant, Swing Inn Cafe, in Temecula, California, on September 25, per court docs.

According to the filings Page Six obtained, their company has $147,809.58 in assets but $1,811,598.46 in liabilities.

Although the restaurant didn't mention its bankruptcy filing on social media, the company's Instagram page posted a local news outlet interview with Dean about the restaurant, encouraging followers to preorder their Thanksgiving meal from Swing Inn Cafe.

Also, the page posted a clip of The Lethal Weapon 2 star meeting fans at the restaurant over the weekend. Dean and Bridget, who is a former entertainment lawyer, got married in October 2021.
During their marriage, the couple welcomed five children together. TMZ reported on Wednesday, November 4, that Bridget asked for joint legal and physical custody of their young children along with spousal support.
Page Six reported that Bridget listed her separation date from Dean as January 15, 2025, and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split.
Along with the Swing Cafe, another joint venture between the two is the Norris Performing Arts Center in Murrieta, California, which opened in 2018.
It's reported that the center offers dance, vocal, acting, and musical theater training for students ages 3 to 18.
