Todd Bridges and Bettijo B. Hirschi Divorce After 3 Years of Marriage: 'Grateful for Our Time Together
Todd Bridges and his wife, Bettijo B. Hirschi, are separating.
"After much prayer and reflection, my spouse and I have made the difficult decision to separate," the Diff'rent Strokes alum says in a statement shared with PEOPLE on Wednesday, Jan. 14. "This was not an easy choice, and it comes with a heavy heart, but also with love and gratitude for the life we shared."
He continues, "I thank God for the time we’ve had together, the lessons we’ve learned, and the family we’ve built. Even in this season of change, I trust He is guiding us both toward healing, peace, and new beginnings."
"I ask for privacy as we navigate this transition and continue to lift my former partner up in prayer, wishing them joy and fulfillment in the chapters ahead.”
TMZ was first to report.
The former couple first met in January 2022 when Hirschi’s friend set up a dating profile for her, and showed it to Bridges for “market research,” Hirschi said on The Tamron Hall Show in December 2024.
Six months later, Bridges proposed, and then nine months after they met, they tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in September 2022.
This was Bridges’ second marriage. He was previously married to his first wife Dori from 1998 to 2012, with whom he shares son Spencir, 28, and daughter Bo, 29. Hirschi had four children prior to their marriage.
