Melissa Gilbert shared a new statement regarding husband Timothy Busfield‘s arrest on child sex abuse charges.
“I’m sending you all my love and gratitude during this extraordinarily difficult time. Not only for Tim, me and our family, but in the collective heaviness so many of us seem to be carrying right now. Add an unexpected storm to the mix, and it can all feel like a bit too much,” Gilbert, 61, wrote in a message shared via her Modern Prairie website on Instagram.
The actress continued, “This season has reminded me, very clearly, how important it is to slow down, prioritize what truly matters, and allow ourselves moments of rest. Stepping back from the noise, the news, and even our daily responsibilities from time to time gives us space to recharge, reflect, and find our center again.”
Gilbert once again expressed her gratitude to those supporting her and Busfield, 68, in the wake of his arrest.

“Thank you, truly, for the love, patience, and support you continue to show Tim and me. Thank you for helping me to feel safer, more grounded, and deeply held by this extraordinary community of women here at Modern Prairie,” she wrote. “I’ll be easing back into things thoughtfully and with care – moving forward one step at a time. More to come, and so much gratitude always.”
News broke earlier this month that a warrant was issued for Busfield’s arrest. According to an affidavit obtained by Us Weekly, the actor was accused of inappropriately touching two child actors who appeared on his series The Cleaning Lady, which aired on Fox from 2022 to 2025.

“I’m going to confront these lies. They’re horrible. They’re all lies, and I did not do anything to those little boys,” Busfield claimed. “I’m going to fight it. I’m going to fight it with a great team, and I’m going to be exonerated. I know I am because this is all so wrong and all lies.”
During his initial court appearance on January 14, Busfield did not enter a plea. The West Wing alum could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

“During this period, her focus is on supporting and caring for their very large family, as they navigate this moment,” Gilbert’s rep shared on January 13. “Melissa stands with and supports her husband and will address the public at an appropriate time.”
Busfield and Gilbert have been married since 2013. While the pair do not share any biological children together, they each became parents in previous relationships.
