Melissa Gilbert – Did WHAT After Divorce?!
“Little House On The Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert now admits that she went through a period where she temporarily “lost her mind,” as she told Page Six. But the actress noted that the insanity proved thankfully temporary. And it all links to her separation in 2011 from then husband Bruce Boxleitner. A divorce soon followed. And that turned Melissa’s life into a semblance of a situation comedy!
First, the “Little House on the Prairie” star suddenly decided that she needed to transform her looks. As a result, Gilbert headed to a cosmetic surgeon for everything from Botox to fillers. And second, the actress abruptly felt a need for a new car. So off she went to get a Mustang Convertible. And in her third oh-no-she-didn’t action, Melissa decided to find a new man.

But the actress’ younger French boyfriend turned out to embarrass the “Little House On The Prairie” star. For instance he infamously sported a T-shirt labeled “Snatch” to a brunch at her mother’s home. As a result, Gilbert cringes when she looks back. “It was like, I lost my mind,” confessed Melissa. “One of my friends says, ‘You know, every once in a while we all have to go to the zoo. And you went and now you’re back.'”

But the “Little House On The Prairie” actress refuses to regret any of her strange actions after that divorce. And Melissa also shared that her current husband, Timothy Busfield, helped her get perspective on her past. “Tim says it to me all the time, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if one thing had gone differently,” revealed Gilbert. “It’s kind of hard to look back and want to have changed anything.”
However, Melissa does confess that she occasionally feels annoyed with herself as a mother. Parent to two sons, Gilbert even put a positive spin on that. “Hopefully, you know, they’re seeing this growth and it’s inspiring them, too,” she shared about her offspring.

And the now-happily married actress poured all her emotions into a memoir, “Back To The Prairie.” As a result of that book, fans can learn how Melissa survived the pandemic away from her formerly frantic pace in Los Angeles. “I miss my family there and I miss my friends there,” admitted Gilbert. “But I don’t miss the traffic [or] the pollution.”
And as she reflects on how life changed after that divorce, Melissa feels content. “I’ve really embraced this lovely stillness in my existence,” she explained. “And I am not chasing after some elusive thing, whether it’s a success or a job or money or things. I’m really just enjoying the sweet simplicity of my life.” And the actress credits Busfield for making her feel “so blessed.”

I still watch little house on the prairie and I love it as much today as I did when I was younger. It’s hard to believe that she is 60 years old. I still think of her as a little girl( half pint). I can understand How she felt when she got a divorce even though I’ve never been married but I was with the man I loved for 33 years before he passed away. My heart was broken and I didn’t know what to do with myself or how to understand my feelings. But I met someone and we talked about our past loves and how we missed them and we didn’t know what to do with each other so we talked on the phone and we would go out to eat and just spend time together. We didn’t have feelings for each other but we enjoyed each other’s company and that helped both of us to be able to get over losing our loves and make wise decisions and not go wild but I was too old I thought to shop around looking for love. We continued to talk and then he wouldn’t call me or answer my calls so I went to see him and he told me that he was back with his love ( I thought she was deceased) so we didn’t see each other anymore. ( He told me that he loved her but she didn’t love him and he would do anything for her).Then a few months later I found out ( by reading an announcement that he was cremated and they were going to have a special ceremony in his honor to celebrate his life. I didn’t even get to see him anymore or tell him thank you for a wonderful friendship and all the times we laughed, cried, and just have fun together. He helped me do the right thing about seeing other people anymore. Oh well I still think about him but my life goes on. I didn’t mean to get off on a story about myself. I love Melissa and thank her so much for the wonderful show she cast in. I’m so glad she found some one new and have a life together. I wish her the best with her life and I will she her in “When calls the heart”. I love them both. I hope I didn’t bore you too much. Prayers ❤️ a d lots of blessings for you Melissa. God bless you .
I’d love to have a copy of her new book with her signature in it of course would be lovely. I used to have the whole set of “Little House” and they were the hard back books. But when we moved my mom left them and I went back and someone was living there and said they never seen the books. I never could find another set of them. I couldn’t afford to buy them so I guess I won’t be able to get another set. I love Melissa and still love watching “Little House on the Prairie”. Thanks again.
