Shannon Elizabeth has officially finalized her divorce from Simon Borchert, nearly one month after filing on April 14. The 52-year-old actress, best known for her role in American Pie, has also launched a highly lucrative OnlyFans account. The couple separated in September 2025 after marrying in 2021.
Embracing a New Chapter
Speaking exclusively to Page Six on Monday, Elizabeth reflected on the end of her marriage. 'Today isn't about the end of a marriage,' she said. 'There are moments in life when you realize that letting go can be exhilarating, that closing one chapter creates space for an entirely new one, and stepping into that feels incredibly liberating.'
She added, 'I'm embracing what comes next with a full heart and a renewed sense of purpose. I've never felt more inspired, more creative or more connected to who I truly am.'
OnlyFans Success
Elizabeth joined the subscription-based platform OnlyFans on April 16 and earned a staggering $1.2 million in her first week. 'I'm excited to be stepping back into development and conversations around new projects in Hollywood while also continuing to use my OnlyFans page as a space where I can genuinely connect with fans in a more personal and authentic way,' she told the outlet.
The star noted, 'Between entertainment, digital content and the work of the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation – which will always be closest to my heart – I honestly feel more energized about the future than ever before. Sometimes, the hardest transitions lead you exactly where you were meant to go.'
Divorce Details
The screen siren explained that it took her seven months to file for divorce 'because we had to come to a settlement first.' She elaborated on the legal process in South Africa, where she resides: 'If we didn't come to a settlement first, it could be tied up in court for 10 years.'
It was her manager, Joe Reitman, who suggested she try OnlyFans in November 2025, following her breakup. 'From September to the end of March, at least, it was really, really, really difficult,' the actress detailed. 'It was very emotional, and it was just figuring out how to restart everything and kind of just starting from scratch, to be honest. So it was, "Well, now what?"'
Behind the Scenes
The Texas native's OnlyFans page offers 'behind-the-scenes moments, exclusive photos & videos, candid glimpses of my life and chatting with me directly,' according to its description. Last month, Elizabeth – born Shannon Fadal – said her account amassed four million page views and 300,000 subscribers from 27 posts within days of joining the app.
She said at the time: 'For me, I'm still kind of exploring. It's really new for me.' Elizabeth is not sure how much she's willing to show her subscribers on the XXX site: 'I don't know what I will or won't show in the future... I never expected this to happen. My fans have been absolutely incredible and supportive and I am so grateful for it!'
And she told Page Six about her million-dollar earnings, 'It's not like all of that money is in my pocket. There's splits that happen with various representatives and the platform itself. I think I'll see half of the money before taxes and then I'll probably only see half of that money. It's not as crazy as it sounds, but it's still astounding.'
