Rumours of trouble between the couple circulated online after Tori, age 58, was snapped without her wedding band while visiting a farm with her family. Dean explained the Feminine Warrior podcast the following September that his wife “took it off because she washed her hands and forgot to put it back on.”
In a June interview on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis LiveTori was asked whether Dean and she were in the same bed. She responded, “Right now, my kids and dogs sleep in my bed,” adding that her husband was “in a room.” She explained that the bedroom situation changed when he was away filming and had not changed back: “Since he left—this is not good you guys—but since he left, he was gone for six months filming in another country.”
In October, when Wendy Williams ShowGuest host Whitney Cummings asked Tori how her relationship was going, she declined to say.
