Bridget Norris Is a Business Woman & Proud Mom of Dean Norris' 5 Kids

Bridget Norris may not have been an actress, but she's well-versed in the workings of the entertainment industry. Alongside her husband, Dean Norris, the couple integrated their expertise to create a space and platform for those interested in artistic career pursuits.

Bridget Norris married Dean Norris shortly after the turn of the century on October 27, 2001, and her bond with the actor has remained stronger than ever. Throughout their union, they welcomed five children, whose age gap spanned 17 years between the youngest and the eldest.

And for the Norris family, attending LA Dodgers games is a treasured bonding activity. Earlier this year, Bridget's husband smiled in a selfie at one of those games in July with his kids. He sported a loose blue button-up embroidered with skulls.

To his left, his daughter wore a sleeveless white crop top with denim shorts and simple jewelry, and to his right, his son donned a Metallica T-shirt. Later that month, they attended another Dodgers game on what Dean called "family day" as they celebrated the baseball team's 40th anniversary of its 1981 championship.

Dean Norris' Wife, Bridget Norris, Helped Establish a Meaningful Joint Venture

In April 2017, Bridget and her husband put their heads together to establish a center where people could train in different forms of creative expression, whether painting, drawing, dancing or acting. They named it Norris Performing Arts Center and based it in Riverside County, California.

By January 2018, they already had over 150 students taking classes, including youth and adults. The center's Creative Director is Sean Kiralla, who gave dance classes to Bridget and Dean's children. He was happy to hop on board to achieve the Norris Performing Arts mission, as he explained:

"I want to make sure they’re getting everything they came here to get and everything they're hoping, dreaming and wishing for."

Dean occasionally visited the center, and the "Breaking Bad" alum – who co-starred alongside Mickey Middleton's ex-husband, Bryan Cranston – once led a masterclass there in acting.

His wife handled the daily operations to ensure that daily objectives were met smoothly. Bridget formerly worked as an entertainment attorney and helped build the business from the ground up. Confident in her ability to get the job done, she said:

"Getting artists to be in place at a certain time — I know how to do that."

Bridget Norris Still Goes on Dates with Her Husband after 21 Years of Marriage

After over two decades of being together, Bridget and Dean's bond remained strong. While they value family time, they also reserve quality time for themselves as a couple. In May 2015, Dean shared a photo of himself and Bridget enjoying themselves at The Kentucky Derby.

Bridget also attended and cheered for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team during games with her husband. The "Lethal Weapon 2" star – who appeared alongside Mel Gibson, who has nine kids – was a big fan of the team.

In October 2019, she and Dean were present when they played against the USC Trojans. Last year in October, they also attended a concert together, as Dean showed his followers on Instagram.
