Who is Abby Elliott’s husband Bill Kennedy? Inside their love story and marriage
Just like Abby Elliott, her estranged husband, Bill Kennedy is also a renowned figure in the entertainment industry; however, he isn’t an actor. He is an Emmy-nominated Hollywood screenwriter and producer, best known as the co-executive producer of critically acclaimed drama series such as House of Cards and The Morning Show. His other high-profile credits include Tell Me Lies and Life on the Line, for which he served as the producer. As per Bill’s IMDb profile, he is the screenwriter of the popular TV series American Odyssey and Sex Ed.
Abby Elliott and Bill Kennedy first met in 2014 on the set of the comedy film Sex Ed, in which she starred. After the filming wrapped up, the cast and crew went out for dinner, and, fatefully, Abby and Bill shared a dish: lobster mac and cheese. The duo grew close while working together on the movie; however, their relationship didn’t turn romantic at the time. They actually began dating a few months later when Abby returned to Brooklyn, and he reached out to her under the guise of discussing a scene from the film.
