Exploring the relationship between Quinta Brunson and Kevin Jay Anik

Quinta Brunson rarely spoke about her relationship with Kevin Jay Anik, keeping it largely out of the spotlight. They had been married for three years and shared no children. So, how did their romance blossom? Let’s take a look.

Although the exact date of their engagement is not known, an Instagram post shared by Brunson suggests they got engaged in July 2020. The photo showed the actress flaunting her diamond ring, with the caption, “More good news.”

She rarely posts about Anik on social media, nor does he seem to have a social media profile himself, as per People magazine.

They were reportedly spotted together attending the FWRD party in Los Angeles, held in honor of Dwyane Wade's induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

According to a report in People magazine, the actress, who rose to fame with the series Girl Who Has Never Been on a Nice Date, has publicly appreciated her husband’s dedication to her on a few occasions.

One of them was when she won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy in 2024.

“Oh god. I love my mom, my dad. My sisters, my brothers. My entire family so much. I love my husband. I'm so happy. I love my cast. Oh, I love Abbott Elementary. Thank you so much.”She said.

Previously, in 2022, during her acceptance speech at the Emmys, Brunson thanked her “wonderful husband” and said that “he’s the most supportive man I’ve known.”

In an interview with People that same year, she refrained from sharing details about her relationship and said:

“I don’t talk about my relationship that often, because it’s something that I like to keep sacred and safe. Nor do I bring him out to be analyzed or attacked by the world.”

That was not all—during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Brunson gushed about the support Anik has shown her.

“My husband, that’s what I mean by him being the biggest support, that there is no need to dim me at all,” she said that time. “That allows me to love him fully and be the person that I want to be and am meant to be.”

Despite her appreciation for her husband, it is hard to tell why the couple separated, as they have always maintained a low-key relationship. Things seemingly ran smoothly in their marriage until reports of their separation emerged recently.
