“It was somber and sad, but beautiful and loving.

The hardest thing about this was that she wasn’t ready to leave because she loved life.”

Doherty and Iswarienko got married in 2011.

Amidst her ongoing illness, they separated in January 2023 after she reportedly discovered he was having an affair.
