Quinta Brunson and her husband Kevin Jay Anik are reportedly filing for divorce after three years of marriage. Reports claim the “Abbott Elementary” star filed the petition on March 19, with documents indicating a postnuptial agreement.
Famous for her lively persona and sharp wit, Brunson was unabashedly private about her relationship with Anik. Her rare yet heartfelt references to Anik during award shows never went unnoticed, making the separation a hard pill to swallow for many fans.
Quinta Brunson and husband Kevin Jay Anik splitting over ‘irreconcilable differences’
In an exclusive report on March 20, TMZ announced Quinta Brunson’s petition to divorce her husband Kevin Jay Anik. PEOPLE later reported that the comedian filed the petition on March 19, listing the couple’s date of separation as “TBD” (To Be Determined). The media outlet also obtained the court documents, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.
Also, they reported that the couple had “entered into a postnuptial agreement,” outlining the terms of their property division. PEOPLE also highlighted Brunson’s request for both parties to cover their respective legal fees.
While Brunson’s career in the entertainment industry was hitting a pivotal milestone, she posted a photo on her Instagram, confirming their engagement in July 2020. Simply writing “More good news” to highlight the moment, the post showed her smiling as she flaunted her engagement ring.
However, it was not until her Emmys speech in 2022 that she publicly confirmed their marriage. While referring to Anik as her “wonderful husband,” Brunson acknowledged him as “the most supportive man” she knew.
Furthermore, the star’s 2024 Emmy win for “Lead Actress in a Comedy Series” marked another rare occasion she acknowledged Anik, saying “I love my husband.” Though she kept her relationship out of the public domain, Brunson’s rare moments of gratitude for Anik painted a picture of a strong partnership.
While Brunson navigates this personal transition, her commitment to her craft is evident in “Abbott Elementary” and her willingness to “use a different side of my pen,” as she remarked during her interview with ELLE.
