Actress Abby Elliott has filed for divorce from her husband, producer Bill Kennedy, bringing an end to their nearly decade-long marriage, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.com.
The divorce petition was filed on Friday, July 17, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the dissolution of the marriage. Elliott listed July 8 as the official date of separation from Kennedy.
The couple shares two minor children: Edith, age 5, and William, age 3. In the filing, Elliott is seeking joint legal and physical custody of both children, a common arrangement that would allow both parents to share decision-making responsibilities and parenting time.
Elliott and Kennedy exchanged vows on September 3, 2016, marking what would have been their tenth wedding anniversary this coming September. The timing of the separation, just weeks before that milestone, underscores the finality of the decision.
According to the court documents, Elliott is requesting spousal support while simultaneously asking the court to terminate its ability to award any financial support to Kennedy. The actress has also petitioned for Kennedy to cover her attorney's fees in the divorce proceedings.
Elliott has garnered critical acclaim for her work in the entertainment industry, including her role in the widely praised series. The divorce filing marks a significant personal transition as she navigates both her professional career and the dissolution of her marriage.
The legal proceedings will determine the final terms of custody arrangements, financial support, and the division of any marital assets accumulated during their years together.
