The blonde actress, widely recognized by fans of the hit series "The Bear" as Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto, the older sister of Carmy (Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto), played by Jeremy Allen White, has decided to end her marriage to Kennedy.
According to TMZ, citing court documents, 39-year-old Abby Elliott filed for divorce on Friday. She listed July 8 as the date of separation and described the reason for the divorce as "irreconcilable differences."
In her divorce filing, Elliott requested joint legal and physical custody of their children, five-year-old Edith and three-year-old William, whom they welcomed during their marriage.
She also requested spousal support from Kennedy, while asking the court to deny him the same right. She additionally wants the producer to cover her legal fees.
Representatives for the actress have not commented on the divorce news so far.
