Abbott Elementary star and creator Quinta Brunson, 35, has filed for divorce from her husband of just over 3 years, according to TMZ. Brunson has been tight-lipped about her marriage to Kevin Anik, who TMZ reports is a sales manager, until her brief mention of him during her 2022 Emmys speech. She referred to Anik as “my wonderful husband” as she thanked him for being “the most supportive man I’ve ever known.” She mentioned him again on stage at the Golden Globes in 2023, telling the crowd, “I love my husband,” but never shared any photos or information about their private life publicly. The Emmy-winning writer and star did share a photo of her engagement ring on Instagram in July 2020. On Wednesday, she cited irreconcilable differences in the filing to end the three and a half year marriage, which the documents say commenced in 2021. The filing states that Brunson and Anik entered into a postnuptial agreement, “which governs the disposition of their property.”
