(CNN) โ€” Quinta Brunson has filed for divorce from her husband Jay Anik.

The โ€œAbbott Elementaryโ€ star filed a petition for dissolution of marriage on Thursday in a Los Angeles courthouse, according to a copy of the filing obtained by CNN.

Brunson cited โ€œirreconcilable differencesโ€ as grounds for divorce and did not specify a date of separation.

The petition also confirms that Brunson and Anik โ€œentered into a postnuptial agreement which governs the disposition of their property.โ€

The pair became engaged in 2020, according to a post on Brunsonโ€™s Instagram page. They wed in 2021 and do not share any children, according to the petition.

CNN has reached out to a representative for Brunson for comment.

While the pair stayed mostly out of the spotlight during their time together, Brunson has publicly spoken about Anik several times.

During a 2022 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Brunson spoke about how much of a support Anik is.

โ€œMy husband, thatโ€™s what I mean by him being the biggest support, that there is no need to dim me at all,โ€ she told Winfrey at the time. โ€œThat allows me to love him fully and be the person that I want to be and am meant to be.โ€

That same year, Brunson also gave Anik a shoutout when she won an Emmy for outstanding writing for a comedy series for her hit ABC sitcom โ€œAbbott Elementary,โ€ in which she also stars.

During her speech, she thanked โ€œmy wonderful husband because heโ€™s the most supportive man Iโ€™ve ever known.โ€
