Abby Elliott Breaks Up With Husband Bill Kennedy, Files for Divorce

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."

The pair got married in New England the following year, saying "I do" in front of 200 guests before celebrating with a reception at her parents' home, according to People.

For the occasion, she donned a Leanne Marshall wedding dress while Kennedy chose a blue linen suit.

“I thought I was going to go with a bohemian style, something a bit different,” she told the outlet at the time. “I ended up with something opposite.”

Their nuptials also showed how close their families had become, with the No Strings Attached star noting that her dad, SNL alum Chris Elliott, was "helping a lot" with the wedding planning process.

“He’s been very involved, it’s really sweet," she said. "He’s been very involved in the catering process. A lot of food things that he wanted.”
