Chris Rock Divorces Wife After 20 Years

While his latest film, “Top Five” is getting a lot of attention, so his comedian Chris Rock personal life. It has been announced he and his wife are divorcing after nearly 20 years of marriage, reports People.

“After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways,” says Malaak Compton-Rock, in a statement released on Sunday.
“While recognizing that this is a significant change, my children remain at the center of my life and their well-being is my top priority. It is in this spirit that I sincerely ask that their privacy and the privacy of our family be respected during this transition in our lives.”

Christ Rock, 49, married his wife Compton-Rock, 45, in 1996. They live in Alpine, New Jersey, with their two daughters, Lola Simone, 12, and Zahra Savannah, 10.

In 2007, Rock faced a paternity suit, but a test proved that the child was not his. In 2012, the comedian settled yet another lawsuit with a Hungarian model who claimed that he sexual assaulted her and was also the father of her child. Another paternity test proved him to not be the father, and Rock was not charged criminally.
