Doherty is requesting spousal support and asking it not be awarded to her estranged photographer husband. The pair do not share any children. TMZ was first to report the news. A few hours before the news of the filing broke, Doherty shared a cryptic message on Instagram. "The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness and total respect," read the post, which was also shared to her Instagram Story. Doherty and Iswarienko tied the knot in October 2011. The actress was previously married to Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994, and Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003. A year before her nuptials with Iswarienko, Doherty told PEOPLE that she was taking her third marriage seriously. "Marriage to me is such a gigantic commitment that it's not something I'd ever go into lightly anymore," she said at the time. "I've learned my lesson."

Heldman, at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut. The actress has spent the last few years dealing with ongoing treatments for stage 4 breast cancer. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She entered remission two years later, but revealed in 2020 that her cancer had returned as stage 4. Doherty has made a point to share all of the good, bad and ugly of her cancer treatments since announcing in 2020 that the disease had come back the year prior. Shannen Doherty.
