The 35-year-old confirmed she was engaged to Anik in July 2020 with a quiet Instagram post featuring a diamond ring and the caption, “More good news.” The Blast reported that their postnuptial agreement covered how the property would be split, and with no children involved, child support was not part of the case. Despite being married to one of TV’s most visible stars, Anik stayed almost entirely off the radar. He had no public social media presence and rarely appeared in Brunson’s posts. Still, he did show up to support her during major career milestones. In 2022, the couple attended the Time 100 Gala together after Brunson was honored as one of the most influential people of the year. They made another public appearance in 2023 at Dwyane Wade’s FWRD party, celebrating his Hall of Fame induction.
