Court Grants Evander Sole Custody of Their Daughter

This article was last updated by on

Evander Kane, a professional ice hockey winger, was married to his ex-wife, Anna Kane, from 2018 to 2021, and they are parents to a daughter, Kensington.

Kane, born on August 2, 1991, in Vancouver, Canada, began his ice hockey journey at age eight, guided by his father, Perry, an amateur boxer and hockey player, and his mother, Sheri, a college volleyball player.

Drafted 19th overall by the Vancouver Giants in the 2006 WHL Bantam Draft, he had an impressive junior career, highlighted by winning the Memorial Cup in 2007.

In 2009, Kane was selected fourth overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in the NHL Draft, marking the start of his professional career.

After the team’s relocation, he debuted with the Thrashers in the 2009-10 season and later transitioned to the Winnipeg Jets.

In 2015, he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres, where he continued to excel until a mid-season trade in 2018 brought him to the San Jose Sharks.

In 2022, Kane signed with the Edmonton Oilers, quickly establishing himself as a top-line player alongside Connor McDavid.

Evander Kane and His Ex-Wife, Anna Kane, Had a Short-Lived Marriage of Three Years!

Ice Hockey player Evander Kane was previously married to Anna Kane for a brief time.

Born in Canada in 1986, Anna Kane holds Canadian nationality, but her early life and career details are not widely documented.

Evander married Anna Kane in 2018 after reportedly dating for several years.

Their early years as a couple were marked by both joy and hardship, including a miscarriage at 26 weeks in March 2019.

However, on July 9, 2020, they welcomed a daughter, Kensington Ava Kane, bringing happiness to their growing family.

By July 2021, their relationship began to deteriorate, and Anna filed for divorce, marking the start of a tumultuous period for the couple.

Anna made headlines with serious allegations against Evander, including claims that he gambled on NHL games and “threw games to win money.”

She also shared personal details of financial struggles, alleging that while Evander partied in Europe, she faced challenges affording baby formula and even had to sell her wedding ring.

In response, Evander Kane wrote on X:

I have NEVER gambled/bet on Hockey, NEVER gambled/bet on a Sharks game, NEVER gambled/bet on any of my games and NEVER thrown a hockey game.

In December 2021, a court awarded Evander sole custody of their daughter, Kensington, with Anna receiving supervised visitation rights, contingent upon completing a psychiatric evaluation.

Since their divorce, Anna Kane has largely stayed out of the public eye while Evander moved on and began a relationship with model Mara Teigen.

Evander and Mara Telgen share two sons, Iverson (born May 25, 2022) and Hendrix (born June 20, 2023).

However, her life attracts media attention due to her associations with high-profile individuals.

In early December 2024, Anna made headlines when she was revealed as one of the accusers in a s*xual assault case against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Anna filed the lawsuit in December 2023 under the pseudonym “Ms. Doe,” alleging that in 2003, when she was 17, she was drugged and gang-r*ped by Diddy, his associate Harve Pierre, and another man.

Speaking publicly, Anna stated:

I had hoped to use a pseudonym in pursuing justice for what happened to me as a teenager. Defendants’ demand that I use my name was an attempt to intimidate me, but I am not intimidated. I am prepared to proceed and hold accountable those who have harmed me.

Diddy strongly denied the allegations, calling them “sickening,” and vowed to fight for his name, family, and the truth.
