“There’s something about the ocean that resets everything — slows the noise, softens the edges, and brings you right back to what matters. Grateful for these quiet moments, sandy paws, and unconditional love,” she wrote.

She’s not wasting any time moving forward.

“The divorce is fresh. She is freshly single and launching her OnlyFans tomorrow morning (April 15),” a source revealed to an outlet.

For Elizabeth, this next move is all about taking control.

“I've spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more s--- side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans,” she shared with People.

“I'm choosing OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create on my own terms, and just be free. I really do think this is the future,” she added.

The Dancing With the Stars alum also made it clear that "reconnecting" with her audience is a big part of the decision.

“Reconnecting with my fans through appearances has reminded me just how much their support has meant to me throughout my career — and how much I’ve missed that energy,” she told Page Six.

“OnlyFans gives me the opportunity to offer something more – a behind-the-scenes, unfiltered look at my life and a genuine connection that no other platform allows,” she continued. “This is also where I’ll be sharing exclusive content that you simply won’t find anywhere else. This isn’t just content to watch from a distance. This is for the people who have always shown up for me, and I want them to feel that.”
