Actress Shannen Doherty and renowned photographer Kurt Iswarienko first crossed paths in 2008. Following a three-year courtship, Iswarienko popped the question, and the duo tied the knot on October 15, 2011.

The intimate wedding ceremony reportedly occurred at a close friend’s residence in Malibu, California. The occasion was later documented on Doherty’s We TV docuseries, “Shannen Says,” which aired in 2012.

Throughout their marriage, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star had been vocal about her appreciation for Iswarienko’s unwavering support, often sharing her sentiments on social media platforms. In a heartfelt Instagram post from June 2019, the actress referred to her husband as her “best friend.”

He expressed joy in being able to bake a cake and cook for her in the presence of their loved ones, signing off with, “Happy Birthday, @theshando. I love you.” Despite their strong connection and Iswarienko’s unwavering support, Doherty ultimately decided to pursue a divorce.

Shannen Filed for Divorce Following 11 Years of Marriage, Feeling She Was Left with No Alternative Options
On April 21, 2023, entertainment news outlet TMZ reported that Doherty had filed for divorce from her husband amid growing tensions behind closed doors. According to a report, the television star submitted court documents in Los Angeles, revealing that the couple had initially separated in January 2023.

Doherty and Iswarienko, a professional photographer known by the moniker PICTUREKID, had no children together. The actress’ representative, Leslie Sloane, provided insight into the couple’s current situation, stating: “Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted. Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option.”

Sloane also claimed that Iswarienko’s agent, Collier Grimm, played a significant role in the divorce proceedings and should be contacted for further information. Sources close to the couple revealed that they were experiencing a contentious separation.

But, the celebrity denied the proposal allegedly because her ex and Heersema weren’t facing the matter behind his original works that were created while they were married. She also wanted them to address “his earning capacity.”

Doherty wanted $15,434 monthly for spousal support as not working would cause her to lose her SAG health insurance. Her “Charmed” residuals had also started decreasing. She accused Iswarienko of living extravagantly while she struggled.
