'Diff'rent Strokes' Star Todd Bridges Files for Divorce After 3 Years

In the early days of April, Todd Bridges — the actor who grew up before America's eyes on a beloved sitcom — walked into an Arizona courthouse and filed to end his three-year marriage to Bettijo B. Hirschi. The union, which began through a dating app and a Beverly Hills ceremony in 2022, was declared irretrievably broken, though neither party sought to wound the other financially. It is a quiet closing of a brief chapter, handled with a restraint that speaks, perhaps, to the hard-won wisdom of a man who learned long ago what it costs to live loudly.
