Shannon Elizabeth Ditches Ex-Hubby Simon Borchert, Rides the OnlyFans Wave to Freedom

Shannon Elizabeth is officially single again, having wrapped up her divorce from Simon Borchert after a “difficult” split, and she’s ready to embrace her newfound freedom. “Today isn’t about the end of a marriage,” she declared, radiating positivity. “Letting go can be exhilarating; closing one chapter opens the door to a whole new adventure.”

Just two days after filing for divorce on April 14, the “American Pie” star jumped onto OnlyFans, igniting a firestorm of excitement. “I’m thrilled to dive back into Hollywood projects while using my OnlyFans to connect with fans in a real and authentic way,” she said, clearly relishing her dual role as actress and content creator.

At 52, Elizabeth is not just surviving; she’s thriving. “Sometimes, the hardest transitions lead you exactly where you were meant to go,” she mused, hinting at the transformative power of her recent choices. The actress, who has made South Africa her home, filed for divorce after quietly separating from Borchert, a fellow conservationist, in September 2025.

“The actual filing just happened because we had to come to a settlement first,” she explained in a candid May interview. “If we didn’t settle first, it could drag on for years. But now that we’ve settled, it should be quick.”

Joining OnlyFans wasn’t on her radar until her manager suggested it in November 2025. “From September to March, it was really tough. I was figuring out how to restart everything,” she admitted. But now? She feels lighter, as if a “weight” has been lifted off her shoulders.

In her first week on the subscription platform, Elizabeth raked in a staggering $1 million. “I haven’t figured out where I’m going to live yet,” she confessed. “I know I’m staying in South Africa because there’s so much work to do with my charity. I love it here!”

With her sights set on financial independence through OnlyFans, Elizabeth aims to be more selective with acting roles and is eager to step into directing and producing. She’s also determined to leverage her platform for her foundation, which focuses on protecting endangered species and their habitats.
