Melissa Gilbert is making a major change in her life as her husband, actor Timothy Busfield, continues to face serious legal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 62-year-old Little House on the Prairie<\/em> star recently revealed that she is leaving her longtime one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan\u2019s Upper West Side, a home she had lived in for eight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an emotional Instagram post, Gilbert shared photos of boxes being packed and rooms being emptied. She described the apartment as a special chapter of her life and said she would miss the neighborhood, friends, local businesses and the energy of New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gilbert said she and her husband are now planning to live in their home upstate full time \u201cfor a good long while.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move comes as Busfield faces criminal charges in New Mexico involving allegations of sexual contact with a child under 13. He has denied the allegations, pleaded not guilty and is seeking dismissal of the indictment. The case remains ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gilbert has publicly stood by her husband. In an April interview, she said she was \u201c100% confident\u201d that Busfield would be cleared and that she believed his account of what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Gilbert did not directly connect her move to the legal case, the timing has drawn attention from fans and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Gilbert, the move appears to mark the end of one chapter\u2014and the beginning of another far from the city she called home for eight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
