Melissa Gilbert and Timothy Busfield’s love was meant to be. In April 2013, USA Today reported that Gilbert and Busfield had gotten married. Gilbert’s representative detailed that the pair had wed “in a private ceremony at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara on April 24.” In 2022, Busfield and Gilbert spoke to People about their connection. When Busfield began chatting with Gilbert at a bar, he immediately sensed that true romance was in the cards.

“I knew she was the one,” Busfield said while reflecting on meeting Gilbert. “It felt so real.” He later said of himself and Gilbert, “Across the board we were just equals in everything.” The spouses now live in a Catskill Mountain home and together lead “a quiet life.” “This is what I’ve always wanted,” Gilbert said. The couple chatted with The New York Times in 2022 about their residence, which they purchased in 2019 and have fixed up in the time since. “This is one of those places that most people would say, ‘Are you nuts?’ if you expressed interest in buying it,” Gilbert said of the home. “But Tim and I are the best kind of nuts. We’re hopeful visionaries. We knew this house would shelter us well and serve us well.” And Gilbert and Busfield continue to show their love for one another.
