Todd’s filing comes a little less than three months after we first reported<\/a> their separation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to legal docs, obtained by PEOPLE<\/a>, Todd claims the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” and neither he nor Bettijo is requesting spousal support.<\/p>\n

Todd and Bettijo got hitched in September 2022, having a low-key Beverly Hills ceremony with about 70 guests … and they did not have any children during the marriage.<\/p>\n

This was Todd’s second marriage … he was previously married to Dori Bridges from 1998 to 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Diff’rent Strokes’ Todd Bridges Files For Divorce Published April 2, 2026 5:20 PM PDT Todd Bridges and his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":578762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[879,49,48,75,12891,44,12892],"class_list":{"0":"post-578761","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-hip-hop","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-tmz-hip-hop"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
