Todd Bridges announced on Twitter that he and his wife Dori Bridges have split after 14 years of marriage and are in the process of seeking a divorce.
The couple have a 13-year-old son, Spencir Bridges. The child actor, following in his father’s footsteps, has appeared in several films including Daddy Day Camp and on television episodes of iCarly, House, M.D. and ER.
Bridges of Diff’rent Strokes fame tweeted: “I’m going to beat the media to this. Me and my wife are divorcing. Our lives are going in different directions. We remain good friends.”
He continued, “We have a child and we both have his best interests at heart and know this is best for him and us. She’s a great mother. I’m glad to have had the years with her but people grow apart and we did.”
The former actor has struggled to find an adult identity. He appeared on Oprah in 2010 to promote his book Killing Willis, a biopic account of his drug addiction and criminal past.
