Since starting on “Saturday Night Live” in 2008, Abby Elliott has established herself as a successful actress. After leaving the beloved sketch show, Elliott starred in the Bravo sitcom “Odd Mom Out” as Brooke Von-Weber and as Rebecca Klein on the NBC sitcom “Indebted.” Most recently, Elliott has garnered attention and acclaim for her role as Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto in the Hulu series “The Bear” alongside Jeremy Allen White.
When she’s not busy working, however, Elliott shares parenting duties with her husband, “House of Cards” writer Bill Kennedy. The two began dating in 2014 and married in front of 200 guests in September 2016, according to People. Since then, Elliott and Kennedy have welcomed two children, daughter Edith Pepper and son William Joseph. Although the “The Bear” actor is now a happy mother of two, the journey of motherhood was difficult at first. She underwent IVF before giving birth to her first child, which she further explained in her “Kelly Clarkson Show” 2020 interview.”[IVF] A lot of people go through this and we don’t talk enough about it, I think, as women. We need to raise awareness and awareness more. . . It’s a miracle that doctors can do,” she shared.

Edith Pepper Kennedy
Elliott welcomed their first child on October 23, 2020. The actor shared the good news on Instagram at the time, calling his daughter “the love of our life”. When she was pregnant, Elliott kept this exciting news a secret and revealed only a month before her daughter was born that she and Kennedy were expecting their first child. In an Instagram post celebrating her 4th wedding anniversary, the “Indebted” star wrote: “Happy 4th year of love! Here’s an even better adventure for you— great adventure! The best will happen next month❤️.” In addition to the photos that do not often appear on social networks, Elliott has kept Edith unnoticed and not much is known about her.
William “Billy” Joseph Lunney Kennedy IV
The second child of the Elliott/Kennedy family was born on June 9, 2023. Similar to the birth of Edith, Elliott shared the news on Instagram just days later, partly saying: “left heart breaking, we love you so much.” Unlike her first pregnancy, the “Odd Mom Out” actor opened up about having a second baby soon. In a June 2023 interview with Romper, she explained: “There’s nothing to hide, and it feels great… It feels like ‘I have a little friend to go with in This journey.’ It relieves the pressure in a strange way, because it just reminds me that I have a friend, that I have a little partner in this.”
As far as her work goes, Elliott revealed to the outlet that she was 33 weeks pregnant when filming for the second season of “The Bear” ended, and that was mostly going well for her. . “The whole pregnancy was pretty easy, right up until the last few weeks,” she revealed.
