Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleErika Eleniak is making waves again, more than three decades after she became famous as 'Shauni McClain' on Baywatch. The actress, 56, has recently announced that she has joined OnlyFans, saying her career is finally seeing its full-circle moment.
Eleniak had largely stepped away from Hollywood fame after her Baywatch journey, and though she pursued few other acting roles here and there, little to no information is available about her life recently. So, here's everything we know about her current life.
The actress-model announced her new move on August 10, 2026. Speaking to TMZ, Eleniak said her new account will feature personal photos and videos, beach content, and plenty of barefoot pictures, as fans have repeatedly requested them. Eleniak told the publication:
"I basically grew up on the beach in a red swimsuit, so this feels like coming full circle — except now I’m calling the shots."
The actress added that the subscription platform will allow fans to see a side of her that they did not get to see during her Baywatch years. "I've been Erika from ‘Baywatch’ for decades, but OnlyFans gets a side of me people haven't seen," she said, describing the content as "personal, playful and unfiltered."
The announcement comes at an especially nostalgic time for Eleniak. She is also returning to the Baywatch universe, reprising her role as 'Shauni McClain' in Fox's upcoming reboot.
Born on September 29, 1969, in Glendale, California, Erika Eleniak began acting as a child. One of her earliest film appearances came in Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. She later appeared in The Blob before landing the role that would make her a household name: 'Shauni McClain' on Baywatch.
Eleniak joined the original series in 1989 and remained with the show through its early years, becoming one of its recognizable faces alongside David Hasselhoff and other original cast members. She also appeared in movies including Under Siege and The Beverly Hillbillies and had a brief career as a Playboy Playmate, appearing in the July 1989 issue.
Eleniak has previously revealed that filming the series was considerably more difficult than it appeared on television. In an interview with Remind Magazine, she recalled going through approximately six auditions before landing the role of 'Shauni McClain'.
She also described filming as physically demanding, pointing to cold water, strong currents, wind, sand, and exhaustion as some of the challenges the cast faced. Coming to her earnings from the iconic show, a recent report by Just Jared reveals that Erika Eleniak is the lowest ranker among the 20 wealthiest Baywatch castmates with a reported net worth of USD 1 million.
Eleniak's relationship history has been a subject of interest since her Baywatch days, particularly because she was once engaged to her co-star Billy Warlock, who played 'Eddie Kramer' and was her character's love interest. However, that relationship ended eons ago.
The actress's first marriage was to bodybuilder and nutritionist Philip Goglia. The two married in May 1998, but their marriage ended in divorce later that year, unraveling within six months. Eleniak later became involved with Roch Daigle, a Canadian key grip whom she met while filming the 2001 movie Snowbound in Calgary.
According to publicly available biographical sources, Eleniak and Daigle married in 2005 and welcomed a daughter, Indyanna Daigle, who was born in January 2006. However, the couple reportedly split in 2007, when they divorced. No information is available about her current relationship status.
The actress has spoken warmly about motherhood over the years, describing her daughter as one of the biggest joys of her life. Public biographies identify Indyanna as Eleniak's only child.
Erika Eleniak recently reunited with her Baywatch co-stars. Last week, she shared photos from an OG Baywatch reunion featuring familiar faces including Carmen Electra, Billy Warlock, David Chokachi, Traci Bingham, Jeremy Jackson, Alexandra Paul and Nicole Eggert. The update came as the franchise prepared for its latest revival, with Eleniak and Chokachi among the original stars returning to the world of Baywatch.
The Baywatch reboot is officially set to premiere on Fox in late January 2027.
