American comedian Chris Redd is reportedly dating Kenan Thompson's ex-wife, Christina Evangeline, months after the Saturday Night Live star filed for divorce.
As per TMZ, 37-year-old Redd and Evangeline became an official couple last year. This meant that the latter was already separated from Thomspon, so there was no overlap or cheating when the couple began dating.
Thompson and Christina have been separated since 2019, even though the star only filed for divorce in May 2022 after 11 years of marriage. The couple, who married in 2011, share two daughters, three-year-old Gianna and seven-year-old Georgia.
However, it is worth noting that Kenan has no bad blood towards Chris Redd and is happy with their relationship.
TMZ states:
“We’re told Kenan’s aware of his ex’s romance with Chris and has no hard feelings – he’s apparently moved on and is happily dating other people.”
Kenan and Chris Redd appeared together on Saturday Night Live until the latter announced his exit from the comedy show.
As per Radar, sources have debunked the rumors that Kenan got Chris fired and have said that it was Chris' choice to leave the show. Reportedly, Chris has several projects in the pipeline, including an Audible collaboration with SNL's Lorne Michaels.
