In March, The Associated Press reported Brunson’s quiet split from her now ex-husband, Kevin Anik — whom she was married to for three years. Now, in a June 30 cover story for Bustle, the “Abbot Elementary” creator is finally addressing it on her own terms.

Quinta Brunson shared an optimistic outlook for the future of her career and admitted that she is “looking forward” to when the Abbott Elementary chapter is closed. The 35-year-old opened up about her Hollywood dreams in a conversation with Bustle as its latest cover star.

With 'Abbott Elementary' going back to school for a fifth season, creator, showrunner and star Quinta Brunson has graduation on her mind.
