Quinta Brunson and Kevin Jay Anik are going their separate ways, as Brunson filed for divorce on March 19, 2025. Citing "irreconcilable differences" as the basis for the breakup, the couple - known for keeping their relationship under wraps - are parting ways.

In the divorce filing, Brunson confirmed that both she and Anik had signed a postnuptial agreement, which dictates the division of their assets. This agreement holds significance in regulating their property disposal during the divorce process [1][2].

She reiterated her appreciation for Anik during another Emmy win in 2024, expressing her happiness and love for him [2].

In a/an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2022, Brunson praised her partner for allowing her to be her true self, without any need for her to "dim" herself. This open support system enabled her to love him fully and showcase who she really was [1][2].

As of now, the couple is not seeking child custody, and the separation date is yet to be determined. Each party is responsible for their own legal fees [1][2]. CNN reached out to Brunson's representative for comment.

Despite their decision to part ways, it's clear that this pair shared a powerful bond, evidenced by their heartfelt displays of affection in public. As they navigate this new chapter, we wish both Quinta and Kevin all the best.
