In a surprising turn of events, Shelli Hyrkas, the ex-wife of former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, has announced a significant shift in her life following their high-profile divorce. In a recent statement shared through her social media platforms, Hyrkas revealed that she is embarking on a new and unexpected career path, one that diverges markedly from her previous endeavors.
Hyrkas, who has largely stayed out of the limelight since her separation from Novoselic in 2021, disclosed that she has decided to pursue a career in sustainable agriculture. She has enrolled in an intensive program focused on organic farming and environmental stewardship, marking a dramatic departure from her previous work in event planning and public relations.
“I’ve always had a deep-seated passion for environmental issues and sustainable living,” Hyrkas shared. “After much reflection and personal growth, I felt it was time to realign my professional life with my values. This new journey is both exciting and challenging, and I’m eager to dive into this field with the same enthusiasm I once had for my former career.”
Hyrkas’s announcement comes as a surprise to many, given her relatively low profile in recent years. However, friends and family have expressed their support and admiration for her decision, noting that her commitment to environmental causes has been a long-standing interest.
In addition to her career shift, Hyrkas hinted at potential future projects related to sustainability and community outreach. “I hope to use my platform and skills to make a positive impact on the world,” she said.
Hyrkas’s announcement highlights a trend of public figures seeking meaningful changes in their lives post-divorce, demonstrating a growing desire for personal fulfillment and alignment with core values.
