In the wake of Tori's divorce filing, Dean made his appearance in Los Angeles, dismissing rumors of turmoil between them. Admirably, he was seen wearing his wedding band, his composed demeanor an evident sign of resilience.
For those following the couple, the divorce filing did not come as a shock, especially given the announcement of their separation in June 2023. The cause stated by Tori was irreconcilable differences, with a desire for joint legal custody of their five children. However, Tori indicated a preference for sole physical custody, with visitation rights for Dean.
Divorce Costs and Proceedings

Despite the proceedings, they have shown commendable unity, especially when it comes to their children. A recent instance of this was the birthday celebration of their son Beau, which they celebrated together.
