They used to be together, before the asteroid hit that wiped out the dinosaurs. Then, the continents split.

The split of Gondwana has nothing to do with the asteroid that whiped out dinosaurs. It startet to split way before the impact. The asteroid hit the earth ~66 million years ago, but Gondwana already startet to split ~150 million years ago.

The continent split because of the drift of the tectonic plates
