Nearly 10 Years of Marriage

Divorce Filing
Legal documents reportedly list July 8, 2026, as the couple’s date of separation. Elliott is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two children.
In addition, the actress has requested spousal support while asking the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to Kennedy. She has also requested that Kennedy cover her attorney’s fees.
A Private Family Life
Although Elliott has become widely recognized for her role as Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto on The Bear, she and Kennedy have generally kept their family life private. In recent years, Elliott has occasionally spoken about motherhood and her fertility journey, but the couple rarely shared details of their relationship publicly.
Neither Elliott nor Kennedy has publicly commented on the divorce filing at the time of writing.
