“Abbott Elementary” creator Quinta Brunson has recently wrapped up a significant chapter in her life. Just six months after she lodged her divorce paperwork, the 35-year-old Emmy-winning comedian has officially finalized her split from her husband, Kevin Anik.
Court documents obtained by PEOPLE indicate that the divorce was uncontested, implying both Brunson and Anik agreed on the terms, leading to a straightforward and drama-free settlement. They had a postnuptial agreement that outlined the division of their assets and details about spousal support. Furthermore, they decided to handle their own legal fees, showing that both parties wanted to keep the proceedings quick and uncomplicated.
The documents state that December 1, 2024, marks their official separation date. With the necessary paperwork completed and only a judge’s signature pending, Brunson and Anik are ready to move forward independently.
Quinta Brunson and Anik had always maintained a low-profile relationship. They married in October 2021, and Brunson largely kept her marriage out of the public eye. A rare acknowledgment of their partnership occurred during her acceptance speech at the 2022 Emmys, where she emotionally thanked her husband after winning the Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series award.
However, in March 2025, Brunson filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Despite the couple’s private relationship, the news took many by surprise, prompting a range of reactions online. Supporters lauded her for maintaining grace and privacy throughout the process, while others were surprised that such a significant personal development went largely unnoticed.
Meanwhile, Brunson is keeping busy and thriving in her career. “Abbott Elementary” continues to attract viewers and earn rave reviews.
