Kenan Thompson and Christina Evangeline’s relationship timeline explored
Kenan Thompson and Christina Evangeline were introduced by talent manager Danny Estrada and they dated for four years. Thompson and Evangeline married in 2011 in the Arctic Room of the George Aquarium in Atlanta. A source said at the time,
“[They’re] very happy. They’ve lived together as a couple and were excited to share the moments with close friends. She was thrilled and a beautiful bride.”
The pair welcomed their first daughter Georgia in 2014 and their second daughter, Gianna, was born in 2018. Following Gianna's birth, Thompson told Us Weekly that Georgia was obsessed with the baby and always wanted to hold her.
Thompson also spoke about his eldest daughter being busy with school, and added that they missed "her throughout the day," but once Georgia came home, they would go out for dinner. He mentioned in another interview that being a father was everything to him and said,
“I stopped my bachelor life and just was spending a lot of time by myself because they say, when you stop looking, you will find it. And then I met my wife and we had the same ideology. We wanted to get married and we wanted to start a family and keep a family.”
He further added,
“It’s my daily focus — is everybody taken care of? And then my other focus is, how am I taking care of everybody. That’s what probably drives me to work like such a maniac. I want to personally satisfy the need to provide like that.”
