49 year old popular United States comedian and actor Chris Rock is said to have filed for divorce from his 45 years old wife, Malaak Compton-Rock of over 19 years, leaving their two daughters to suffer the consequences of a break-up.
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.
Funny thing is Chris according to his lawyer actually filed for the divorce himself,
