Shannen Doherty, 52, officially files for DIVORCE from husband Kurt Iswarienko after 11 years of marriage due to actress being ‘left with no other option’
Shannen Doherty has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Kurt Iswarienko, after 11 years of marriage, according to documents obtained by TMZ on Friday.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 actress, 52, who recently celebrated her birthday earlier last week on April 12, cited in the papers that both she and the photographer have been separated since January of this year.
The former couple initially said ‘I do’ back in 2011, and did not welcome any children during the course of their relationship. Her marriage to Kurt was her third, having previously tied the knot with Ashley Hamilton and then Rick Salomon.
The representative of The Hollywood star, Leslie Sloane, expressed to the outlet that, ‘Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted. Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option.’
Doherty, who recently reunited with her Charmed co-stars last month in March, has been battling breast cancer since it returned in 2020 as stage four.

Sloane then added to TMZ that the outlet could reach out to Kurt’s agent, ‘Collier Grimm at PICTUREKID,’ due to her being ‘intimately involved.’
Separate sources close to Shannen and Kurt explained to the outlet that the actress is ‘not well’ in regards to her health and added that their divorce is far from amicable, and instead is bitter and ‘very acrimonious.’
Also in the documents obtained by TMZ, Doherty has asked for spousal support but requested that it not be awarded to the photographer.
Before her marriage to Kurt, the star had tied the knot with Ashley Hamilton in 1993 until their divorce was finalized the following year in 1994. She later said ‘I do’ to Rick Salomon in 2002, but their marriage was annulled nine months later in 2003.
In February 2020, it was revealed that the actress had been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer after going into remission from the illness back in 2017.
During a past interview with People in 2019, the Little House On The Prairie star opened up about how her cancer battle had actually made their relationship stronger.
‘Cancer solidified us,’ Shannen gushed to the publication at the time. ‘Kurt and I have a much deeper appreciation for each other now.’
In 2015, the actress had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and had a mastectomy, as well as undergoing both chemotherapy and radiation, which had led her to remission in 2017. But in 2020, the cancer had returned.
