Bears’ Abby Elliott and husband Bill Kennedy break up, divorce after 10 years
Abby Elliott and Bill Kennedy’s romance has simmered down.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, actress Bear filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 10 years on July 17th.
Elliott, 39, listed July 8 as the date of separation in her filing. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her divorce from the television producer, who worked on House of Cards, The Morning Show and Tell Me Rise.
Amid the breakup, Elliott is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their children Edith, 5, and William, 3, and is asking Kennedy to provide spousal support and pay his legal fees, the outlet said.
Kennedy, a Saturday Night Live alum, met on the set of the 2014 film “Sex Ed,” for which Kennedy wrote the screenplay and starred as Trish. Elliott later told The Knot that she instantly fell in love with the “amazing, loving, kind, funny, bubbly man” who proposed to her in October 2015 at her apartment with her grandmother’s ring.
“It was really beautiful and he was sitting on one knee in a traditional manner,” she said. “It was very simple, but nice and wonderful.”
