It was reported several weeks ago that Saturday Night Live‘s Kenan Thompson had split from his wife of more than 10 years. A source close to the married couple had stated that the former Kenan and Kel star and interior designer have been separated for more than a year. Now, Thompson has officially filed for divorce according to TMZ.
The media outlet reported that the actor had filed the paperwork last month in New York to make the union between him and his soon-to-be former wife, Christina Evangeline officially and legally over. The couple has allegedly been secretly separated for several years now. Although they were not living together, they were successfully co-parenting their two daughters Georgia and Gianna.
The two were together for 15 years, of which 11 were in matrimony.
According to People, the 43-year-old Thompson and the 33-year-old Evangeline dated for four years before they tied the knot in November 2011. They traded nuptials in a private ceremony at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.
Thompson has been with Saturday Night Live for 19 seasons, making him the longest-running cast member in the venerable sketch comedy show’s history.
The Daily Mail reported that his self-titled sitcom, Kenan which aired on NBC, was canceled last month after two seasons. The comedy show starred Chris Red, Don Johnson, Kimrie Lewis, Fortune Feimster, Dani and Dannah Lane.
Late last year, The Saturday Night Live star teamed up with John Ryan Jr. to launch a new full-service production company, Artists For Artists (AFA). Through this new media platform, AFA will serve as an incubator for artists to create and produce their own content, Variety reported.
With Thompson as co-founder and Ryan as co-founder and CEO, the company operates a commerce division and bespoke management representation that builds companies with artists and brands that they co-own.
