The Bear’s Abby Elliott and Husband Bill Kennedy Break Up, Divorcing After Nearly 10 Years
Abby Elliott and Bill Kennedy’s romance has simmered down.
The Bear actress filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 10 years on July 17, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Elliott, 39, listed their date of separation as July 8 in the filing. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her split from the television producer, who worked on House of Cards, The Morning Show and Tell Me Lies.
Amid the breakup, Elliott is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their kids Edith, 5, and William, 3, and asked that Kennedy provide spousal support and pay her attorney’s fees, per the outlet.
The Saturday Night Live alum met Kennedy on the set of Sex Ed, the 2014 movie he wrote in which she starred as Trish. Elliott later told The Knot that she soon fell for the “wonderful, loving, kind, funny, hilarious man,” who popped the question in October 2015 by proposing at their apartment with his grandmother’s ring.
“It was really beautiful and he was traditional and got down on one knee,” she shared. “It was just very simple, but lovely and wonderful.”
