Knew Much Later in Life that Her Biological Father is Chuck Norris
Dina Norris’ mother Johanna had kept everything about her relationship with Norris to herself, assuming it would hurt both her daughter and her ex-partner. In the meantime, Chuck was a martial arts teacher who founded numerous martial studios. Later in the 1970s, Norris embarked on show business. But, it wasn’t until Dina overheard her single mother talking about her biological dad to one of her colleagues that she came to know about him. Even after Dina knew the fact, her mother tried to convince her to not contact Chuck.
The Walker, Texas Ranger actor wrote in the book called Against All Odds: My Story.
“Johanna later confirmed to Dina that I was her biological father but that I was married and had children and She shouldn’t disrupt my life.”
Dina eventually made contact with her father in 1991. As soon as Norris got the message, the actor admitted the paternity. He recalled in his book,
“I didn’t need DNA or blood tests. I went to her, wrapped my arms around her, and we both started crying. At that moment, it was as if I had known her all my life.”
As of now, Dina has a close relationship with her father. They often appear together, enjoying their time together. Back in August 2015, she was spotted along with her dad and other family members in Kauai.
