Timothy Busfield was a dad of three before forming a blended family with wife Melissa Gilbert. Busfield was first married to ex-wife Radha Delamarter from 1981 to 1986. The pair welcomed son Wilson during that time. Following his split from Delamarter, Busfield moved on with Jennifer Merwin, whom he wed in 1988. They welcomed Samuel and Daisy before divorcing in 2007. Five years later, Gilbert and Busfield tied the knot. Busfield became stepfather to Gilbert's children, sons Dakota and Michael, whom she welcomed during previous marriages.
