The space heartthrob has got hitched for the fourth time, but who is the lucky lady?<\/p>\n

William has put a ring on it… again<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
He made his name back in the \u201860s when he made his debut as the hunky Captain Kirk in cult space series Star Trek.<\/p>\n
Now, almost fifty years after he left viewers swooning with looks so smouldering that he could be the only man in history to make a mustard turtleneck scream \u2018sex symbol\u2019, William Shatner has struck again \u2013 this time with his latest lucky lady.<\/p>\n
Last week the now 94-year-old, who appears fit and healthy, was photographed enjoying lunch at a Hollywood restaurant with his unexpected date, who sported a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger.<\/p>\n
But fans couldn\u2019t help but note that William\u2019s new leading lady was, in fact, his third wife, horse trainer Elizabeth Martin, who he divorced from back in 2020.<\/p>\n
At the time the couple had been married for 18 years before citing \u2018irreconcilable differences\u2019 for the reason behind their split.<\/p>\n
Now a source reveals that after privately reuniting, pals have been whispering that William was forced to change his stance and quietly tie the knot again because Elizabeth wasn\u2019t prepared to stick around if he didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
The insider says, \u2018Bill may have talked about how he\u2019s not going to remarry his wife, but now it looks like things have changed. She\u2019s walking around with a huge rock and talk in their circle is that they quietly said the vows behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
\u2018Apparently it was a small, private, intimate ceremony where he recommitted himself to her. He didn\u2019t have much of a choice. He really didn\u2019t want to and felt it was unnecessary, but Elizabeth wasn\u2019t comfortable with the status quo, and he reluctantly agreed to do it. It made her happy, so he\u2019s happy, too.\u2019<\/p>\n
Last year, just ahead of his 93rd birthday, William let fans into his \u2018secret\u2019, letting slip that he and Elizabeth, 66, had moved back in together.<\/p>\n

They’ve still got plenty of chemistry<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
He said at the time, \u2018My little secret is I\u2019m living with my former wife\u2026 We\u2019ve in effect remarried. But we haven\u2019t done another ceremony.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, after revealing that the pair had no plans to tie the knot for a second time, the source says that William may have agreed to a commitment ceremony over another formal wedding day like the legal ceremony they had in a small Indiana courthouse the first time around.<\/p>\n
\u2018Knowing Bill it\u2019s likely that they\u2019ve made a compromise and had a commitment ceremony without the legal paperwork,\u2019 the insider says.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s had this bee in his bonnet for years about not wanting the government in his business, or his bank accounts, and it\u2019s hard to imagine him going back on that.<\/p>\n
\u2018What would be more shocking is if he actually filed paperwork to make it a legal marriage. Regardless of whether there\u2019s legal paperwork or not, this has clearly made Elizabeth a very happy woman, she\u2019s flashing her new diamond ring any chance she gets.\u2019<\/p>\n
Their nuptials mark William\u2019s fourth wedding. The actor married his first wife Gloria Rand in 1956 and the pair welcomed three daughters together – Leslie, 66, Lisabeth, 64, and Melanie, 61, who all remain close to their famous dad.<\/p>\n
The pair divorced in 1969 and William went on to marry Marcy Lafferty from 1973 to 1996 and Nerine Kidd in 1997 before her tragic death aged just 40.<\/p>\n
At the time, William found actress Nerine dead in their swimming pool after coming home one night. Alcohol and diazepam were later found in her system, leading William to bravely talk about his late wife\u2019s addiction and encourage fans to support a local charity supporting other women.<\/p>\n
He married Elizabeth four years later, and the source says that despite their mutual independence (they even turned up to their lunch date in separate cars), she is William\u2019s \u2018rock\u2019.<\/p>\n
The insider says, \u2018They have a good life together and look out for each other. They\u2019re both very independent, too, where she does a lot of her own thing and he does some travelling by himself, but they always find a way to come back.<\/p>\n
\u2018She\u2019s his rock and vice versa, and everyone is pleased he seems to have done the right thing by marrying her all over again. He says all the time that she\u2019s the only one for him.\u2019<\/p>\n

In his Star Trek heartthrob days<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
In 2023, nonagenarian William even went as far as to hint that the pair still enjoyed a sizzling chemistry, saying, \u2018My wife \u2026 she is the zest of life. She brings the flavor.\u2019<\/p>\n
And now the source says William appears more in love than ever as the couple enjoy a second honeymoon period.<\/p>\n
\u2018Bill seems more sentimental than ever, he’s gushing about how much she means to him and telling anyone that will listen how he couldn\u2019t imagine his life without her,\u2019 the insider says.<\/p>\n
\u2018Even if there\u2019s no marriage license, she\u2019s his partner in every way that matters and he’ll want to honour that. She\u2019s totally devoted to him and everyone in Bill\u2019s life is happy he\u2019s come to his senses and has realised what a gem he\u2019s got in Elizabeth.\u2019<\/p>\n
With an estimated worth of $100 million, the source says that while William is pretty low-key about his fortune, preferring to spend his time horse breeding and ranching, he wants to ensure that Elizabeth is secure financially and isn\u2019t afraid to spoil her.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s very generous with her so it makes sense that he\u2019d get her a big diamond ring and profess his love to her in front of family and friends,\u2019 the insider reveals.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s never one to talk much about money but he\u2019s worth more than $100 million and there\u2019s no doubt that he\u2019ll want to make sure Elizabeth is well taken care of, even after he\u2019s gone, so everyone\u2019s assuming this new commitment ceremony came with some financial arrangement to benefit her as well.<\/p>\n
\u2018Bill\u2019s staying tight lipped, but he\u2019s an old-school gentleman, it\u2019s important to him that everyone he cares about is well looked after, he takes a lot of pride in that.\u2019<\/p>\n
