Bettijo B. Hirschi's first husband, Heath, dragged her second husband, Todd Bridges, into their legal drama, leading to her disclosing Todd's income.
Diff'rent Strokes actor, Todd Bridges is currently separated from his second wife, Bettijo Boushley Hirschi. According to the latest update, he filed for divorce on March 31, 2026, ending their three-year marriage. The ex-spouses, both 60, met after their first marriages failed. Now, the fans are curious about what might have gone wrong the second time around, leading them to tread the path of divorce once again. Amid the buzz around their divorce, Bettijo's ex-husband, Heath dragged Todd into another lawsuit involving Heath and Bettijo's spousal support row.
Todd Bridges became involved in the legal battle between his wife, Bettijo Boushley Hirschi, and her first husband, Heath Hirschi, when Heath attempted to terminate his spousal support payments. He argued that his ex-wife, Bettijo didn't need financial aid from him anymore as she had gotten remarried, and that too to a "well-known Hollywood actor." According to Heath, Bettijo's marriage to a celebrity changed her financial situation. He called that while he was suffering hardship, she lived in a home worth USD 880,000 with Todd Bridges.
During the dispute, Bettijo had to disclose Todd Bridges' personal finances to the court to prove her continued need for support from her first husband, Heath. She revealed that the Diff'rent Strokes star was "semi-retired" and earned an inconsistent income of approximately USD 700 per month in 2024. She further stated that she covered most of their expenses through her entrepreneurship, including the mortgage on their home. Regarding Todd's occasional contribution, she said that he paid for the food "when he gets extra payments" from doing "contract work." She was quoted by Us Weekly as:
"My husband [Bridges] is semi-retired, so he doesn't have a very stable income. He makes, like, USD 700 or something a month, around there, that we rely on. He does help with food when he gets extra payments, cause he does, like, contract work"
Bettijo Hirschi and her second husband, Todd Bridges, began their relationship in January 2022 after being introduced by a mutual friend. Bettijo's friend had created a dating profile for her and showed it to Todd, initially intending it as "market research." Although Todd Bridges was originally supposed to help set Bettijo up with someone else, he decided he wanted to date her himself as soon as they met. The couple's relationship progressed rapidly; they began dating in January 2022, Bridges proposed by the ocean six months later, and they married in September 2022.
Todd Bridges and Bettijo Hirschi married on September 21, 2022, in an intimate ceremony at Greystone Mansion & Gardens in Beverly Hills. The event was attended by approximately 40 close friends and family members. Bettijo gained additional public attention through her wedding to the actor. The marriage created a blended family with children from both partners' previous relationships. Todd has a son, Spencir Bridges, born in 1998 during his first marriage to Dori Smith and a daughter, Bo J. Bridges, born in 1996 from wedlock. After three years, the former couple separated on January 14, 2026.
Three months after Todd and Bettijo's separation, he filed for Dissolution of Marriage Without Minor Children in a Maricopa County, Arizona court. While no single specific event was cited as the cause of the split, Todd provided some insights into their decision. He shared that their marriage was "irretrievably broken" with no chance of reconciliation. According to the Diff'rent Stokes star, their separation was a mutual decision made after "much prayer and reflection" and a "heavy heart". He asked for privacy during the tough period and expressed continued love and gratitude for the time he and Bettijo shared.
