KENAN Thompson rose to fame on Nickelodeon’s All That and later went on to join Saturday Night Live in 2003.
When the comedian is not on stage, he can typically be found at home, spending time with his children.
After tying the knot with Christina Evangeline in 2011, Kenan welcomed two children, both girls.
The pair first welcomed daughter Georgia in 2014 and later welcomed Gianna in August 2018.
“I think the biggest wake-up call is how immediate it is,” Kenan said of fatherhood in a 2020 interview with People.
“One day you’re not a dad and then the next moment you are. You’re just a dad from that point on. And definitely, my coolness just got sucked right out of me.
“I didn’t know . . . I didn’t even feel it, but I just immediately started wearing black socks and shorts and just being really corny at stores and over-asking questions about items that are super obvious and in my face.”
Due to their young ages, the girls tend to stay out of the spotlight.
On April 7, 2022, it was announced that Kenan and Christina were parting ways after 11 years of marriage.
At the time, sources told TMZ that the former couple had actually been separated for over a year but were still co-parenting their daughters.
While divorce papers haven’t been filed, TMZ reports that they are expected in the future.
At this time, the exact reason for their separation remains unclear, but sources told the media outlet that they have just grown apart.
Kenan’s career began back in 1994 after he landed the role of Russ in the film D2: The Mighty Ducks.
From there, he successfully landed gigs on a number of shows including The Steve Harvey Show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Sister, Sister.
He later reprised his role as Russ in D3: The Mighty Ducks and joined the cast of Nickelodeon’s All That and Kenan & Kel before joining SNL.
Due to his successful career, he has been able to amass an estimated net worth of $13million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
In December 2022, Thompson will be seen on-stage at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California hosting the People’s Choice Awards.
