Shannen Doherty is looking for her special someone amid her battle with stage 4 cancer.
In an interview with People published Wednesday, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum revealed she recently realized she is ready to open her heart up to love.
“I was not ready at all before three weeks ago. And something happens,” she explained.
“There’s always a trigger, just a moment that you have, somebody says something to you, your ex says one thing to you and you’re like, ‘OK, yeah, I’m good. I’m good.’ I have closure and I can move on in a really healthy way.”
Doherty, 52, split from her third husband, Kurt Iswarienko, in April.
Before their 11-year union, she was married to Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994 and Rick Salomon from 2002 and 2003.
While she’s ready to find her match, the actress said she has no idea how that will happen.
“I have a best friend, a male best friend, who we joke that we’re married,” she said.
“I don’t know if it’s that or if it’s stumbling upon somebody and just feeling an instant connection.”
She added, “I have to love myself and reckon with the past, really, before I can move forward, and now I’m pretty sure I’ll meet somebody — hopefully soon.”

Doherty also revealed she would be open to motherhood, something she said she “always wanted.”
The “Charmed” star’s comments about her love life came during same interview in which she revealed her breast cancer has continued to metastasize throughout her body and reached her bones.
Despite saying she doesn’t want to die, Doherty explained why death doesn’t scare her.
“I think I would be afraid of death if I wasn’t a good person, but I am,” she said.
I’m not afraid of dying, I just don’t want to die, like, ever.”
“I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving,” Doherty continued.
“I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better.”
In June, Doherty revealed the disease had spread to her brain and gave fans a look inside her preparation to have a large tumor removed.
“Scared of all possible bad outcomes, worried about leaving my mom and how that would impact her,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
“Worried that I would come out of surgery not me anymore.”
Despite being honest about her fear, Doherty has remained generally positive about her cancer battle since she first revealed her diagnosis in 2015.
In 2021, she vowed not to live like she’s dying.
“I just want to operate as I don’t have things to check off because I’m going to keep fighting to stay alive,” she said on “Good Morning America.”
