dailyloe.com – Shannon Elizabeth has finalized her divorce from Simon Borchert following a challenging separation. The actress announced this development and expressed her feelings about the situation.
On Monday, she stated, “Today isn’t about the end of a marriage. There are moments in life when you realize that letting go can be exhilarating.” Elizabeth emphasized her excitement for the future and a renewed sense of purpose.
Shannon Elizabeth married Borchert in 2021 and filed for divorce on April 14, shortly after joining OnlyFans on April 16. In her statements, she indicated that this new venture allows her to connect with fans in a more personal way.
“I’m excited to be stepping back into development and conversations around new projects in Hollywood,” she said. Elizabeth also mentioned the ongoing work of the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which she holds dear.
The actress, now 52, noted, “Sometimes, the hardest transitions lead you exactly where you were meant to go.” She filed for divorce after quietly separating from Borchert, a fellow conservationist, in September 2025.
In a May 5 interview, she explained that the divorce filing occurred after reaching a settlement, stating the process could otherwise take years. “It should be quick at this point,” she said.
Joining OnlyFans, a suggestion from her first husband, Joe Reitman, in November 2025, has aided her healing process. She described the past months leading to her divorce as emotionally challenging.
“From September to the end of March, at least, it was really, really, really difficult,” she said. Elizabeth reflected on the need to restart her life and find a new direction post-divorce.
Shannon Elizabeth is looking forward to this new chapter while continuing her work in the entertainment industry and her foundation.
