Melissa Gilbert Engaged To Thirtysomething Actor Timothy Busfield

Melissa Gilbert is engaged to marry Timothy Busfield, a rep for the actress confirmed to Access Hollywood on Tuesday.

The pair became engaged last month and celebrated during a lavish party at notorious Los Angeles restaurant Mr. Chow on Monday, a representative confirmed to UsMagazine.com. A source says, “They got engaged over the holidays. They’ve known each other for quite some time, as their paths have crossed off-and-on over the past 20 years.”

It will be the third marriage for both TV veterans. Former Little House on the Prairie star Melissa Gilbert has two exes, actor Bo Brinkman and Bruce Boxleitner, who she divorced in 2011. Busfield, who has three children of his own, was previously wed to Radha Delmarter and Jenny Meriwin.
