After more than a decade of marriage, SNL star Kenan Thompson and his wife Christina Evangeline have called it quits and according to the Daily Mail, they will share custody of their two children.
The 44-year-old comedian – who shares seven-year-old Georgia and three-year-old Gianna with his estranged wife – filed the documents in New York last month after announcing their split in April.
Kenan and Christina have agreed to share 50/50 custody as they are still living close to each other in the Big Apple to make the custody agreement easier, especially for the kids, according to sources from TMZ on Wednesday.
Their insiders claim that the split between the couple married for 11 years, 15 total as a couple, happened due to the former couple growing apart as the years in their relationship progressed.
According to TMZ’s sources back in April, the two had actually been separated for over a year as they co-parent their two daughters.
The two grew apart over time but are still able to remain great friends as they co-parent according to the publication at the time.
It’s the end of the marriage journey for Kenan Thompson and Christina Evangeline.
Sources close to the couple tell us they’ve actually been separated for over a year now, successfully co-parenting their two daughters Georgia and Gianna. We’re told lately, Kenan has been in L.A. working on his new show, called “Kenan” and Christina has been in NYC.
