Say it ain't so...
Another day another celebrity divorce. And sadly, this time it's between comedian Chris Rock and wife, Malaak Compton-Rock.
After nearly 20 years of marriage and 2 beautiful children, Lola Simone and Zahra Savannah, Chris and Malaak have decided to call it quits.
In a statement released Sunday Malaak confirmed the sad news saying, "After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways. Being fortunate enough to lead a life of service by working with those most vulnerable makes me well aware of life's blessings, even when faced with difficulties. 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."
Reconfirming the separation between the two was Chris's attorney, Robert S. Cohen who wrote, "Chris Rock has filed for divorce from his wife, Malaak. This is a personal matter and Chris requests privacy as he and Malaak work through this process and focus on their family."
The 'Top Five' star and his estranged wife married in 1996, and spent years (like any other celeb couple) defending their marriage from possible infidelities, and from speculation of Rock fathering another child.
Wowzers. Definitely something not to be thankful for during this holiday season. Here's to working it out for the better!
