Who is Christine Evangeline?
Christina is an actress who is most known for her role in 'Mini Supreme'. Not much information about her is available online as she likes to keep low-key. She has been married to Thompson since November 11, 2011. Apart from acting, she is also known to be a model and wellness advisor. She founded ‘Evermore,’ a non-profit initiative that helps people deal with grief and process the loss of loved ones. Christina is also passionate about photography and travel and maintains a popular ‘Instagram’ account with over 20 thousand followers. She has also been associated with ‘The Cristian Rivera Foundation,’ a non-profit organization devoted to finding a cure for pontine glioma, an extremely aggressive and hard-to-treat brain tumor usually found at the base of the brain.
Thompson has already expressed his gratitude for being a parent to his and Evangeline's kids. He said to PEOPLE, “It just all happened at kind of the same time. We were married for three years before we had a baby, but it was always in our minds. So it was always that plan. The whole family-man thing of it all just kicked right in, and it’s just been an amazing ride.” He also joked that he sensed a change in himself right away. “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,” he added.
Thompson and Evangeline married in a ceremony at Atlanta's George Aquarium in 2011. Thompson met Evangeline through talent manager Danny Estrada when he first joined the cast of 'Saturday Night Live' in 2003. After the wedding, a source told Us Weekly, “[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.”
Thompson joined the cast of 'Saturday Night Live' in 2003, making him the show's longest-serving cast member in its 47-year existence. If he stays on the award-winning variety show until 2023, he will have worked on it for a total of 20 seasons. In March, he hit a milestone: he participated in his 1,500th sketch on 'Saturday Night Live'.
