Known for her award-winning show Abbott Elementary, the 35-year-old artist filed a petition for divorce on Wednesday, March 19, per People. Brunson listed their date of separation as “TBD” and cited the celebrity favorite: “irreconcilable differences.” TMZ notes that Anik is a sales manager.

The outlet also reports that Brunson indicated the former couple entered into a “postnuptial agreement which governs the disposition of their property” and requested that each party be responsible for their own attorney’s fees.

Brunson confirmed their engagement in July 2020 on Instagram, sharing a diamond ring on that special finger with the caption, “More good news.”

They tied the knot a little over a year later, saying “I do” in October 2021, keeping details about the wedding private. The intimate ceremony took place in front of their closest family and friends, according to Showbiz Corner.

The former couple continued to keep their relationship private. Brunson didn’t confirm he was her husband until September 2022 when she won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.

She thanked her mom, dad, brothers, sisters, and cousins before adding, “My wonderful husband because he’s the most supportive man I’ve ever known, and my incredible cast and show for helping me to make this show and make the pilot.”
