Kenan Thompson’s estranged wife dating his former ‘SNL’ co-star Chris Redd

Kenan Thompson’s estranged wife has moved on from the longtime “Saturday Night Live” star — with one of his former co-stars.

Christina Evangeline is dating Chris Redd, TMZ reported Tuesday, claiming there is “no bad blood” between Thompson and Redd over the budding relationship.

Sources close to the new couple told the outlet that Redd, 37, and Evangeline, 33, became official with the past year and that there was no cheating or overlap in the relationships. In fact, the “Kenan & Kel” alum, 44, and Evangeline reportedly have been living separate lives since 2019.

Reps for the stars didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

Page Six confirmed in April that Thompson and the interior designer had split after nearly 11 years of marriage but were successfully co-parenting their two daughters, Georgia, 8, and Gianna, 4.

A month later, the former “All That” star attended the Times Square Hard Rock Hotel’s opening sans wedding ring.

“He looked like he was having so much fun,” one spy told us at the time. “He emceed the start of the show before John Legend performed and brought his drink on stage and kept saying how he was just ‘chillin’.”

Weeks after that bash, Thompson filed for divorce from Evangeline in a New York court. The estranged couple agreed to share joint custody of their girls.

Thompson and Evangeline married in November 2011 in the Arctic Room of the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

The “Good Burger” star is the longest-running cast member on “SNL,” kicking off his 20th season this weekend. His most famous sketches include “What’s Up With That?,” “Black Jeopardy!” and “Family Feud,” in which he impersonates host Steve Harvey.
