THE REASON FOR THEIR DIVORCE

The actor reportedly listed "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split. Sources shared with the publication that the Shatners will submit their divorce petition for a judge's final signature after agreeing on the financial terms of their divorce.

Elizabeth and William share no children, so child support and custody doesn't factor into their negotiations. Because of their reported prenup, the couple won't receive any spousal support from each other either.

With matters fairly straight-forward, Elizabeth is expected to be William's official ex before long as the source told TMZ that the divorce petition could be handed in for its final signature soon.

Before his marriage to Elizabeth, William had previously tried forever after with Nerine Kidd, Marcy Lafferty, and Gloria Rand, with whom he had three daughters.

WHAT ATTRACTED WILLIAM TO ELIZABETH

During an interview William had with The Guardian back in 2014, the 88-year-old shared that Elizabeth's beauty lured him in. But William soon realized he hit the jackpot when they got to know each other better, as he said:

"Elizabeth has a great sense of humor and a great sense of adventure and she's very nurturing. That combination of beauty, style, intelligence, humor and loving horses and dogs and children and loving her home and making a home for us, is quite a combination."

ELIZABETH TAKES HER LOVE TO WORK

Elizabeth loves all those things, and so much more. She loves all things nature in general, and as a photographer and digital artist Elizabeth uses the medium to channel her passion for the beauty created by nature.

The 61-year-old refers to her body of work as "Arts by Nature," and she finds it rewarding to be able to share her interpretation of the natural wonders that surround us. Also passionate about horses, Elizabeth used to ride professionally before she became is a professional equine judge.
