Adding to the personal strain, the pair submitted Chapter 11 bankruptcy documents on September 25 for their Temecula eatery, Swing Inn Cafe. Records indicate the business holds roughly $147,810 in assets against liabilities exceeding $1.81 million. The diner, which the Norrises purchased in 2002 and which has been running since 1927, has avoided mentioning the filing on its social channels. Its Instagram account recently showed Dean engaging with customers and pushing preorder options.
In addition to the cafe, the couple launched the Norris Performing Arts Center in Murrieta back in 2018, providing instruction for children ranging from age 3 to 18. A representative for Dean was approached by Page Six for any statement but had not replied by the time the story was published.
