Melissa Gilbert Marks 62nd Birthday With Low-Key Video During Husband’s Ongoing Case

The low-key post keeps her visible during a New Mexico case that is set for trial in May 2027.

Overview

  • The Modern Prairie Instagram video, which posted Friday, shows coworkers singing and presenting a bee-themed cake as Gilbert jokes about turning 35.
  • Modern Prairie’s caption praises her resilience and leadership, and fans pack the comments with birthday wishes and Little House nostalgia.
  • Gilbert has kept a lower profile since January, returning to network TV on April 6 to tell Good Morning America the ordeal has been traumatizing and to say she expects her husband to be cleared.
  • Police in Albuquerque sought a warrant in January tied to allegations involving 11-year-old twin boys on The Cleaning Lady set, and Timothy Busfield surrendered before a February 6 indictment on four counts to which he pleaded not guilty on February 10.
  • Busfield denies the accusations and his lawyer says he will fight the charges, with the case proceeding in New Mexico’s Second Judicial District Court toward a May 2027 trial.
