Where is Sunshine Deia Tutt today? Chris Kattan’s Ex Wife Wiki

Published

on

Who is Sunshine Deia Tutt?

Sunshine was born in Brownsville, Texas USA, on 23 September 1976 – her zodiac sign is Libra, and she holds American nationality. She’s a former model, interior designer and an actress, but who’s perhaps known best for being the former wife of famous American actor and comedian Chris Kattan.

Early life and education

Sunshine was raised in Brownsville by her parents, about whom nothing’s known, as she respects their privacy; it’s said that her father was a theatre actor and director, and that her mother was a high school teacher. Sunshine hasn’t spoken of having any siblings, so most of her fans believe her to be an only child.

She grew up being interested in modelling, and most of her peers had the same idea; they would often ask their parents for money, so that they could buy girly magazines and admire the models featured in these. Sunshine studied at St. Joseph Academy, and upon matriculating in 1994, enrolled at the University of Texas, Austin, from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in design and visual communication in 1998.

Career as an actress

Sunshine has only two acting credits. In 2001, she appeared in the popular fantasy comedy movie “Monkeybone”, directed by Henry Selick, and which starred Brendan Fraser, Bridget Fonda and John Turturro. It follows a cartoonist who has fallen into a coma, and is now stuck in a strange world with characters whom he had previously drawn; the film was nominated for three awards.

Sunshine also appeared in the 2006 video game “Deal or No Deal”, which starred Howie Mandel, Tameka Jacobs and Peter Abbay; the player sees 26 women who are holding boxes with various amounts of money written on them; the one that he opens last is the money he wins.

She also made a guest appearance in the 2007 reality TV series “Sunset Tan”.

Other works

Sunshine launched her modelling career upon graduating from college, and gained recognition when she competed in the beauty pageant Miss FHM 2006, losing in the final to Diana Chiafair.

She then turned to interior design, and joined Sublime Interior Designs, LLC as their director of design; Sunshine’s today working as an interior designer.

Love life and marriage with Chris Kattan

Sunshine hasn’t shared many details regarding her marriage with Chris, as she prefers to keep her private matters to herself, but a couple of things about it are still known.

The two met in 2005, apparently introduced by a mutual friend at a party. In 2006, Chris asked her to marry him, and they threw an engagement party at Sunshine’s grandparents’ house in Gainesville in Texas. They exchanged vows on 28 June 2008, in a private ceremony attended by many of their friends and family members, but less than two months later, on 10 August 2008, Sunshine and Chris split, and their divorce was finalized on 22 February 2009.

Neither Sunshine nor Chris have spoken of any other people whom they have perhaps been with, and as of December 2021, Sunshine’s single, was once married to Chris Kattan, and doesn’t have children.

Hobbies and other interests

Sunshine was physically highly active during her 20s and 30s, and had four to five training sessions at the gym every week, mostly because it was important for her modelling career to stay in shape. She still occasionally goes to the gym, and is still following a somewhat strict diet.

She’s a cat-lover, and has two pet cats.

Sunshine is into travelling, and while she’s still active in the modelling industry, has travelled to various US states, as well as to a couple of European countries, including Italy, France and Spain; her dream travel destination is Florence in Italy.

In her spare time, Sunshine likes to watch movies starring her favorite actor and actress, Antonio Banderas and Scarlett Johansson, such as “The Mask of Zorro”, “The Skin I Live In” and “Lost in Translation”.
