Shannen Doherty is getting back to business as usual.

The Charmed alum, 52, filed for divorce from husband Kurt Iswarienko after 11 years of marriage on Apr. 21. She was seen for the first time since in exclusive photos obtained by PEOPLE out and about on Thursday, dressed casually in a sweatshirt, jeans, sunglasses, and ball cap.

Her wedding ring was notably absent from her left hand.

According to the divorce filing obtained by PEOPLE, the couple separated in January and cited "irreconcilable differences" as a reason for their divorce.

"Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted," Doherty's rep, Leslie Sloane, told PEOPLE in a statement upon the news of the filing. "Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option."

Sloane alleged at the time that Iswarienko's agent was "intimately involved" with their divorce. Neither Iswarienko nor his agent returned PEOPLE's request for comment.

Doherty is requesting spousal support and asking it not be awarded to her estranged photographer husband. The pair do not share any children.

A few hours before the news of the filing broke, Doherty shared a cryptic message on Instagram. "The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness and total respect," read the post, which was also shared to her Instagram Story.

Doherty and Iswarienko tied the knot in October 2011. The actress was previously married to Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994, and Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003.

A year before her nuptials with Iswarienko, Doherty told PEOPLE that she was taking her third marriage seriously. "Marriage to me is such a gigantic commitment that it's not something I'd ever go into lightly anymore," she said at the time. "I've learned my lesson."

The divorce announcement comes one month after Doherty told fans she was "feeling great" at a Charmed panel alongside Rose McGowan, Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause, Dorian Gregory and Drew Fuller, moderated by PEOPLE's Breanne L. Heldman, at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut.

The actress has spent the last few years dealing with ongoing treatments for stage 4 breast cancer.
