As we previously reported back in April, SNL star Kenan Thompson and his wife Christina Evangeline wife had decided to separate after 11 years of marriage. At the time, neither of them had filed for divorce and were successfully co-parenting their daughters Georgia and Gianna. However, Kenan has reportedly went ahead in taking the next steps in his separation.
According to online records, Kenan filed last month in New York to make split from Christina Evangeline all legal. Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ that two have agreed to share 50/50 custody. It was also said that they are still living close to one another in NYC to make the custody arrangement easier for everyone involved, especially the kids.

An insider told US Weekly, “Being married for 11 years, together for 14, changes a lot of things. They really just grew apart and wanted different things,” the source says, adding, “There’s nothing juicy about why they split.” The insider also said previously said that even after they submit the paperwork, the Good Burger star plans to stay involved in his kids’ lives like he’s always been. “Kenan’s very active in his daughters’ lives. He’s an amazing father, especially given his schedule and obligations,” the insider adds. “The kids spend majority of the time with their mom but he always makes sure to see them.”
Thompson, 43, and Evangeline, 33, dated for four years before tying the knot in a 2011 private ceremony at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. A source previously said that Kenan who is the longest-running cast member on ‘SNL,’ he joined back in 2003 after successful gigs across multiple Nickelodeon shows, and the actress, just simply grew apart, but remain great friends.
The latest update on their break comes just a little over a week after it was announced that another celebrity couple had called it quits: Lori Harvey and Michael B Jordan. So far neither has publicly commented on the surprising split, however, Harvey has scrubbed all of their pictures together from her Instagram page. Meanwhile, Michael B Jordan still has some of their cute snaps up.
Now, an insider did share that the 25-year-old hadn’t been on the same page with Michael, 35, as far as their future was concerned because she “still wants to have fun and be free.” And though she is sad to move on from their romance, which lasted a year and a half, Lori still thinks highly of her ex, which implies they didn’t end things on bad terms.
