The buzz around LA is real – Abby Elliott, beloved for her role as Natalie in Hulu’s smash hit "The Bear," has officially filed for divorce from her hubby of ten years, Bill Kennedy. The court docs, filed in the City of Angels on July 17, paint a picture of "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The couple quietly marked their separate ways on July 8.
Abby isn't just focusing on her career. She's also making moves to ensure the well-being of their two little ones, Edith, 5, and William, 3. Elliott is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their kids, while also requesting spousal support and legal fees from Kennedy, who not only wrote "Sex Ed," their meet-cute movie, but has his creative fingerprints on "House of Cards" and "The Morning Show."
Neither Abby nor Bill have stepped into the public eye to comment, but representatives are on standby.
“It was very early, and it was still devastating,” Elliott shared during a candid moment about her past struggles with IVF and pregnancy loss.
The pair tied the knot on September 8, 2016, after meeting on the set of "Sex Ed." Fast forward to less than a year ago, Abby was bravely opening up about her battle with infertility and her heart-wrenching experience with chemical pregnancy while undergoing IVF.
The journey toward expanding their family wasn’t easy. Abby revealed, "It wasn’t working. We never got pregnant naturally," and how IVF became their lifeline. "It’s a full-time job," she said, emphasizing the emotional rollercoaster tied to the process.
This heartfelt journey resonates with other Hollywood parents who've faced similar obstacles, reminding us that behind the glitz and glamour, real stories of struggle and perseverance exist.
