LOS ANGELES (AP) — Quinta Brunson, the talented star and creator of the beloved ABC series “Abbott Elementary,” recently filed for divorce from her husband of three years, Kevin Anik. Their split marks the end of a private relationship that they had maintained out of the public eye.
According to the divorce filing in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Brunson and Anik had signed an agreement after their marriage outlining how their assets would be divided in the event of a divorce. Since the couple does not have any children together, the process is expected to be relatively straightforward, keeping most details about their breakup confidential.
Anik and Brunson had been together for several years before tying the knot in October 2021, though they had always been discreet about their relationship. Despite their privacy, Brunson publicly thanked Anik during her Emmy Award acceptance speech in 2022, which was seen as a rare acknowledgment of their marriage. Anik was described by the actor as “the most supportive man I’ve ever known” when she won an Emmy for writing “Abbott Elementary” the same year.
The divorce filing did not specify the date of the couple’s separation, leaving the timeline of their split unclear. News of the divorce was initially reported by the celebrity news website TMZ, adding to the public interest in Brunson’s personal life.
While little is known about Anik in the media, glimpses of their relationship have been shared sporadically, with Brunson expressing gratitude for his support during key moments of her career. Despite the end of their marriage, Brunson continues to shine in the spotlight with her groundbreaking work on “Abbott Elementary” and her recent victories at the Emmy Awards.
