Quinta Brunson Denies Pregnancy Rumors After New Year’s Eve Selfie

She says an awkward sweater angle fueled the chatter, emphasizing privacy as she moves on from her divorce.

Overview

  • After posting a Dec. 31 mirror selfie on Instagram Stories, the Abbott Elementary creator, 36, wrote, "Not preggers" and joked, "Sweater in odd position. Not 2026 already getting my ass."
  • Coverage says she spent New Year’s Eve with friends, and she used the clarification to quickly tamp down speculation sparked by the photo’s angle.
  • Brunson filed for divorce from Kevin Jay Anik in March 2025, citing irreconcilable differences, noting a postnuptial agreement, and requesting each party cover their own attorney fees.
  • In September 2025 the pair reached a settlement for an uncontested divorce, with documents listing Dec. 1, 2024 as their separation date, and final court sign-off still pending.
  • In prior interviews, Brunson rejected claims she "announced" her divorce and said she is focusing on self-care and "watering my own gardens" while keeping personal matters private.
