In 2019, the couple faced another challenge when Dean suffered a serious motorcycle accident that left him with a punctured lung and broken bones. Tori stood by his side during his recovery and their bond only grew stronger. They also welcomed their fifth child, Beau, during this time.
However, in 2021, after almost 20 years of marriage, Tori and Dean announced their decision to divorce. In a joint statement, they said, «We have made the difficult decision to separate. We remain deeply committed to our children and their happiness and will continue to co-parent to raise them in a loving and happy environment.»
