In an unexpected turn of events, actress Quinta Brunson has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Kevin Jay Anik.
The couple, who tied the knot in October 2021, have been married for three years but have now decided to part ways. The two do not have any children together.
Details of Quinta Brunson’s Divorce Filing
Court documents obtained by PEOPLE confirm that Brunson filed for divorce on March 19, 2025.
The legal filing also specifies that the date of separation is currently listed as “TBD,” meaning “to be determined” or “to be decided.”
This means that it is still unclear when exactly the couple separated.
According to Jeffers Law Office, if the two cannot reach an agreement on the date of separation, it will be up to the court to determine this.
Reasons Behind the Divorce and Financial Matters
Fans of the actress have been speculating about the reason for the split.
According to the court documents, Brunson cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their divorce.
The papers also reveal that the couple had a postnuptial agreement in place, which will determine how their financial assets will be divided in the event of a divorce.
A postnuptial agreement, as defined by Investopedia, is a contract agreed upon by spouses after marriage that outlines the distribution of assets if the marriage ends.
Brunson has requested that the property division follow the guidelines set out in their postnuptial agreement. Additionally, the actress has asked that both she and Anik be responsible for their own attorney’s fees.
A Rare Public Divorce from a Private Couple
Although this divorce is now public knowledge, Brunson has generally kept her marriage to Anik private.
Fans had only speculated about the couple’s engagement in 2020 when Brunson posted a selfie with a ring on her finger, captioned “more good news.”
This post raised questions about her romantic life, but she didn’t confirm any details at that time.
