Quinta Brunson Files for Divorce from Husband Kevin Anik
Actress Quinta Brunson, celebrated creator of “Abbott Elementary,” has initiated divorce proceedings against her husband, Kevin Anik, after three and a half years of marriage.
Brunson, 35, known for her starring role as Janine Teagues in the acclaimed ABC sitcom since 2021, officially filed for divorce from Kevin Jay Anik in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to reports.
Postnuptial Agreement in Place
Brunson, an Emmy Award recipient, has indicated the existence of a postnuptial agreement and intends to adhere to its terms. Court documents reveal that Brunson is requesting the court to divide their assets as outlined in the postnuptial agreement—a legal arrangement established after marriage. Furthermore, she is seeking that both parties be responsible for their respective legal expenses.
Irreconcilable Differences Cited
Citing irreconcilable differences, Brunson has marked the separation date as “To Be Determined” (TBD) in the divorce filing.
As the couple does not have children together, child custody will not be a factor in these proceedings.
