Late actress Shannen Doherty's divorce from Kurt Iswarienko was finalized just one day before she died after a long battle with cancer. Doherty, who died on July 13 at age 53, signed papers for a "default or uncontested dissolution" of her marriage, according to court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight.
Her now-ex-husband, Iswarienko, signed his portion on the day she died, ET reports. The couple began dating in 2008 and married in 2011.
Their divorce settlement was hotly contested. The pair separated in January 2023 and Doherty filed for divorce in April of that year, with her publicist, Leslie Sloane, telling ET it was the "last thing Shannen wanted" but that "she felt she was left with no other option."
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of "conversion therapy" on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order an overdue step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. Over 20 other states that have passed laws prohibiting the controversial treatment.
