“We’re doing great,” Dean said, adding that they were on their way to Washington D.C. together to attend a Veteran’s Affairs event.
When asked if he and Bridget were hoping to save their marriage, Dean responded, “Of course”.
He also told the photographer that his and Bridget’s struggling restaurant, Swing Inn Cafe and BBQ in California, had been “saved” from financial troubles.
The actor and his wife seemed in good spirits as they headed towards security screening, bidding the TMZ photographer goodbye with a quick “thanks man”.
Dean appears to be working to save his marriage after news broke last week that Bridget had quietly filed for divorce in February 2025.
She cited irreconcilable differences in the filing, which Dean replied to in court in May last year, according to Page Six.
The pair wed in 2001 and share five children.
Bridget is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two youngest, who were minors at the time of her filing, as well as spousal support.

Dean’s net worth in 2025 was estimated to sit at around $5 million, but he and Bridget have faced mounting financial pressures over the last few months.
They filed for a bankruptcy for their restaurant in September, with Page Six reporting it had about $US147,000 ($210,000) in assets and more than $US1.8 million ($2.5 million) in liabilities.
The couple also recently listed their massive 4.5-hectare California estate – which features nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a pool, spa and horse barn – for $US3.2 million ($4.6 million), according to TMZ.
