Who Is Kenan Thompson's Ex-wife Christina Evangeline?

In addition to being Thompson's wife, Evangeline is a successful model and actress who appeared in the 2015 comedy short film "Mini Supreme." She was born on March 24, 1989, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a Canadian province.

The gorgeous model is also a philanthropist and founder of Evermore, a charitable organization that assists people in dealing with grief and loss. Evangeline also serves as the organization's wellness advisor and has done much volunteer work in the community.

Having an eye for stylish places, Evangeline is also an interior designer; one of her famous clients was her husband. In 2018, when Thompson was a guest on "The Wendy Williams Show," he proudly mentioned that Evangeline did a great job designing his apartment.

How Long Have Kenan Thompson and Christina Evangeline Been Together?

Thompson and Evangeline were together for eleven years. The veteran comedian and the model began dating in the late 2000s after talent manager Danny Estrada introduced them to each other.

After a few years of dating, the couple tied the knot on November 11, 2011, in a stunning ceremony held at an aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia. They rented the entire place because Evangeline was fond of dolphins.

Evangeline and Thompson were each other's plus ones at many red-carpet events, like the annual Emmy Awards. They also celebrated many significant milestones.

The longtime couple shocked fans when they announced their split in April 2022. That same month, TMZ reported that Thompson and his wife were already living apart for over a year.

Evangeline lived in New York City, while Thompson reportedly stayed in Los Angeles, California, to work on his TV show. According to the source, the two "simply grew apart." Another source also told Us Weekly:

"Kenan and Christina are completely amicable...They remain close as co-parents and have remained very close throughout the separation."

In June of this year, three months later, Thompson officially filed for a divorce from his wife. He moved to New York City and lived close to his wife so they could process their documents efficiently. Both agreed to share custody of their children.

Shortly after her divorce from Thompson, Evangeline is reportedly dating her longtime friend, actor and comedian Chris Redd.

Does Christina Evangeline Have Kids with Kenan Thompson?

Despite their ongoing divorce, the couple still prioritizes their children's needs. Evangeline and Thompson have two adorable daughters: Georgia, born in June 2014, and Gianna, born in August 2018.

Although the former couple kept most of their family life private, Thompson did open up about fatherhood a few months before his youngest daughter was born. He said:

"Kids are hilarious. They say the darndest things, but that's just because they don't really know what they're saying, and that just makes much more funniness happen."

Thompson joked that he lost all of his "coolness" when he became a dad. He explained that he began feeling corny when he went to a certain store, to the point where he over-asked questions that already had obvious answers, just to ensure that the items he bought for his child were safe.

Even though there were helpful apps and books about raising a child, Thompson said that having a child for the first time was a challenge for him. He described it as a "learning experience."

He said fatherhood "kicked [things] into overdrive" after the birth of his second daughter. He was thankful for the four-year age gap between his daughters, Georgia and Gianna, because it allowed him to improve as a parent.

Thompson also remarked that it would be a challenging task for him if he had children born a year apart and were still wearing diapers at the same time.

The comedian admitted to falling into constant worries, but he was thankful that his older daughter was there to help and guide her younger sister. He noted that Gianna picks up after Georgia.

Is Christina Evangeline Dating Anyone After Her Divorce from Kenan Thompson?

Shortly after her divorce from Thompson, Evangeline is reportedly dating her longtime friend, actor and comedian Chris Redd. Her ex-husband and Redd both appeared on "SNL" and in Thompson's self-titled TV series.

When Redd announced that he was leaving "SNL," fans thought Thompson had fired him because of his rumored relationship with Evangeline. Redd later clarified he wanted to depart from the show as he had upcoming projects lined up for him, including a stand-up comedy special for HBO Max.

Redd and Evangeline had known each other for six years and were incredibly close. While the alleged couple has not officially confirmed their relationship status, a source earlier claimed that Evangeline's new love is the "happiest she's ever been."

According to the source, there was no animosity between Redd and Kenan Thompson. The latter has reportedly moved on from his marriage to his ex-wife and is dating someone. He also wished nothing but happiness for Evangeline.
