William Shatner Files for Divorce from Wife Elizabeth
After more than 18 years of marriage, the 88-year-old Star Trek actor has filed for divorce from his wife Elizabeth Shatner, TMZ reports.
According to the outlet, the couple has a prenuptial agreement and neither William — who has an estimated worth of $100 million — nor Elizabeth will receive any spousal support from each other.Elizabeth, a former horse trainer whom William wed in Lebanon, Indiana, in 2001, is the actor’s fourth wife;. He was previously married to Gloria Rand , with whom he has three children; Marcy Lafferty ; and Nerine Kidd .Nerine, a former model who battled addiction struggles, died Aug. 9, 1999.
In 2016, Shatner revisited the painful experience, telling host John Fugelsang on SiriusXM’s Tell Me Everything that no one can understand the agony an addict goes through.“I don’t understand the agony. I am empathetic to the agony. I am in agony myself, not about drinking … but whatever my agonies are,” Wlliam said.
He said that his Star Trek costar Leonard Nimoy, who struggled with addiction during his life, helped William try to pick up the pieces after his wife’s death. “Leonard helped me try to understand, Yes, agony belongs to all of us. Agony is party of the soul,” the actor said. “Somebody who hasn’t felt agony hasn’t lived. Hasn’t participated in what life is. But there is a special agony for somebody who wants to give up the addiction and can’t. The shame that they must feel. The self-degradation.”
