Where is kel now

Regarding his personal life, he is happily married to Christina Evangelina since and he has two children with her. The year-old actor, originally from Chicago, has appeared in a series of films and television shows like One on One in , The First Family in , and Game Shakers from to Most recently he hosted the show Tails of Valor and was a contestant in the reality television show Dancing With the Stars.

In , Mitchell was the subject of an internet hoax as there was an email that went around Myspace claiming he had died. Reflecting on the hoax, he said:. It was kind of laughable, you know what I mean? It basically changed everything around.

But, about a few years earlier, Mitchell had fallen into a deep depression and did actually contemplate suicide thanks to the fact that he had barely been getting any acting jobs since leaving Nickelodeon and his marriage was falling apart.

I need to figure out what I need to do in my life. From this experience, though, Mitchell became a born again Christian, after being inspired by his pastor grandfather. But what I needed to do was turn to Him. I respect his choice of wanting to make a name for himself solo. It seemed like they had finally quashed whatever beef they had.

And Thompson has said there was no real beef between them, they just wanted to go their separate ways for a while. And Thompson has since been more open to being seen with Mitchell, having done interviews with him, having produced an All That reboot with him, and having been on a Double Dare reboot with him:. In , the same year he reunited with Thompson on Jimmy Fallon, Mitchell went back to Nickelodeon, as the lead in the show, Game Shakers :. Even when actors from that crowd seem to be breaking away from the company that made them famous, like Hilary Duff or Amanda Bynes, their fame only tends to last for a few years.

And that definitely happened with Kel Mitchell, though not for a lack of trying. When he was in movies, none of them did well at the box office even though at least 2 of them weirdly developed cult followings later on. So Nickelodeon is really all he has. But he seems to have embraced his Nickelodeon past. So, even if he never really crossed over into the mainstream like his partner Kenan did, who are we to judge? Tommy 'Tiny' Lister Jr. NBC's Hairspray Live premieres tonight.

I have to be honest I'm surprised they decided to remake Hairspray again technically considering Back in , Napoleon Dynamite became a phenomenon. The series ended in , but Mitchell still hasn't stopped acting. He's appeared as himself on a handful of shows, competed on 'Dancing with the Stars' he and his partner were the runners-up in , and re-appeared on the reprised 'All That. Since Kel has appeared on the revived 'All That' plus served as the show's executive producer , it's clear that he and Kenan Thompson are still friends.

In fact, Kenan also receives credit as a co-executive producer. Kenan and Kel brought together much of the original cast, too, a testament to the group's authentic friendship.

Of course, they also have other celebs that guest-star on their Nick show. Even though his primary MO is fatherhood, Mitchell still finds himself on TV on a semi-frequent basis. Most notably, he's worked on a few projects with Nickelodeon in recent years, both big and small. He is a regular on the reboot of All That, even contributing as an executive producer during the most recent season.

He also enjoyed a solid run on the sitcom Game Shakers — playing the fun-loving rap artist Double G. While these roles are on long-form series, Mitchell isn't one to shy away from the odd cameo here and there — especially at his old stomping grounds. In he and his comedy companion Kenan Thompson teamed up as contestants on the Double Dare revival. He also took part in the program two years before, during its anniversary special at San Diego Comic-Con Moving away from his past, Mitchell made a bold move toward his future.

He got in rhythm for the 28th season of Dancing with the Stars , where he did quite well. He and his partner Witney Carson dazzled viewers with their fancy footwork in a wide variety of styles. Although the duo came up short — finishing in second place behind Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten — Mitchell took it all in stride and still considered being the runner up as a win.

Aside from busting a move in front of the camera, Mitchell enjoys recording others tearing up the dance floor.
