Todd 'Willis Jackson' Bridges splits with wife

Todd "Willis Jackson" Bridges and his wife of 14 years have called it quits.

The "Diff'rent Strokes" star said in a statement to People.com: "The Bridges have decided that disunion is in the best interest of their collective futures. Although Todd and Dori are going their separate ways, they are mutually committed to the well-being of their son [Spencir, 13]."

Bridges, 47, first announced the break-up on, what else, Twitter.

"She's a great mother I'm glad to have had the years to know her and have a great kid with her. As we know, people grow apart and we did," he tweeted.

Bridges starred in "Diff'rent Strokes" from 1978-86 and chronicled his downward spiral after the show's cancellation in the 2010 book "Killing Willis."
