Diff’rent Strokes star Todd Bridges has separated from designer Bettijo Hirschi after three years of marriage, he announced on Wednesday. The two met on a dating app and got engaged six months later, tying the knot in Beverly Hills three months after that, with the 60-year-old becoming stepfather to her four children. “After much thought and mutual respect, we have decided to end our marriage,” he told TMZ. “During our time together we shared meaningful moments, but have chosen to go our separate ways. I ask for privacy and wish her nothing but love and happiness moving forward.” In a statement to People, the child sitcom star said, “After much prayer and reflection, my spouse and I have made the difficult decision to separate. 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 has two children of his own, 29-year-old daughter Bo and 28-year-old son Spencir, and from 1998 to 2012, the Everybody Hates Chris star was married to fellow former child actor Dori Bridges.
