Todd Bridges is ready to move on, officially filing for divorce from his wife, Bettijo B. Hirschi, after three years of marriage. This comes just shy of three months after the couple announced their separation, and amidst claims from Todd that the marriage is“irretrievably broken.”It seems this relationship, which blossomed after a whirlwind romance started on a dating app, didn’t translate into long-lasting happiness.
The couple sealed the deal back in September 2022 in a low-key ceremony, surrounded by about 70 guests. But now, with no marital children to complicate things, Todd and Bettijo appear to be parting ways amicably, both stating they won’t be seeking spousal support. Sometimes, though, it seems more like a backstage pass to the divorce court instead of the happily-ever-after fans hope for.
As the star of “Diff’rent Strokes,” Todd knows a thing or two about complicated scripts, but this real-life plot twist might take the cake. Are we ready for more celebrity breakups, or is love still a trend worth rooting for?
