Hey there, friends! Let’s dive into the life of A Night at the Roxbury star Chris Kattan, who made a name for himself as a cast member on Saturday Night Live starting in 1996. This funny guy from Hollywood also landed a recurring role on ABC’s The Middle and even stepped into the reality TV world by joining season 3 of Celebrity Big Brother in 2022. Over the years, Chris has been linked to some high-profile names, but he only tied the knot once—with Sunshine Deia Tutt.
Chris isn’t just a master of humor; he’s been delivering laugh-out-loud sketches for almost a decade on SNL. Back in 2005, fate brought him to a birthday party where he met Sunshine, and the two started dating shortly after. Before Sunshine, Chris had been linked to actress Jennifer Coolidge and fellow SNL alum Maya Rudolph. Sunshine herself has had her own screen moments, starring in Monkeybone in 2001 and Sunset Tan in 2007. So, let’s take a closer look at their love story.
A Memorable Engagement
Now, let’s talk about how Chris popped the question to Sunshine. It all went down on Christmas Eve in 2006 at her grandparents’ house in Gainesville, Texas. Chris had big plans for this moment. He wanted it to be something special, something unforgettable. But sometimes, even the best-laid plans don’t go as expected.

“Originally I was going to do something very special,” Chris told People magazine in January 2007 about their engagement. “I tried to get Bono of U2 to serenade her. That didn’t happen. Then I asked Justin Timberlake. No answer. After hundreds of phone calls and text messages, I finally ended up asking one of the members of the Hanson group. He didn’t want to get involved.”
Despite the setbacks, Chris managed to create a magical moment for Sunshine. He wrapped the engagement ring in different packaging, ensuring that no one would suspect what was inside. It’s all about the surprise, right?
A Rustic Wedding in Yosemite
In June 2008, Chris and Sunshine tied the knot in the breathtaking Yosemite Valley, California. The wedding wasn’t just another glamorous Hollywood affair—it was eco-friendly! Famous friends like Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, Brooke Shields, and Charlie Sheen were there to celebrate the couple. Guests were given environmentally friendly gift bags, and instead of throwing rice, they threw biodegradable heart-shaped rice at the end of the ceremony. Talk about being kind to the planet while celebrating love!
Marriage and Aftermath
Unfortunately, their marriage didn’t last long. After only two months, the couple decided to part ways. Their divorce was finalized in February 2009. Since then, Sunshine has focused on her career as an interior designer through her company, Sublime Interior Designs. She often shares insights about home renovation projects on Instagram, showcasing her creativity and passion for design. In 2019, she even appeared on an episode of Bravo’s Best Room Wins, hosted by Genevieve Gorder.
