Actor Todd Bridges, best known for his role in Diff’rent Strokes, just got married! The 57-year-old wed designer Bettijo B. Hirschi in a ceremony at Greystone Mansion & Gardens in Beverly Hills, California. They got married in front of close friends and family and Bettijo walked down the aisle in a gorgeous dress she designed herself.
She said, “I tried to find something off-the-rack that I could wear, and I just wasn’t seeing what I wanted because I wanted more coverage. I like classic beauty channeling from older eras, like Audrey Hepburn. So that’s what I was really inspired by. It was all satin, and it was a fitted bodice with a square neck. And then I have long legs, so I did a split skirt that was kind of like a wrap. And then for the ceremony, I had an 80-inch satin train and then a 200-inch-long veil.”

Todd was previously married to Dori Smith and had two children with her. They split up in 2012. Todd and Bettijo met through a mutual friend and fell in love. He popped the question while they were enjoying a nice day at the beach. He said, “I’d just all of a sudden decided that I wanted to get married to her and I proposed to her. It was a really nice day, it was really good weather, and she loved going to the beach. So we were on the beach and I decided to propose to her. I got down on one knee and did what I was supposed to do.”
They are now heading to their honeymoon in Hawaii to soak up some more time in the sun. Congrats to the happy couple!
