After nearly 20 years of marriage, comedian Chris Rock and wife Malaak Compton have decided to end their marriage. Malaak last night announced the split in a statement
"After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways,' she said
Chris's lawyer also released a statement confirming the couple have split
"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 couple got married in 1996 and have two daughters, 12-year-old Lola Simone and 10-year-old Zahra Savannah.

She obviously must have cheated and seeing someone else reading her statement..normally these american chics spit out fire when divorce comes but her statement is too nice like i dont want trouble and the man is the one filling the divorce.

spliting is among the disadvantage of marriage. this is also not a prospered everlasting mutual coexistence, no matter what is their, they should be patient and reunited again.

There's a long history of discord in this marriage. It's miraculous it lasted this long.
Oh no!they didnt just do that.did they?
Mmmm!!!!The kind of union u fall asleep in for 19 years. And use 2seconds to leave it,inspite of the fruits of the union. i just pity the children. Nigerians will soon get to this stage. it is well o.
Evrythn is excessively possible in d USA
What cud av happened? Hope its not that they are fed up with each other. Cos if so dey can try to make it work by spicing things up.
Americans and their divorce culture sha. Well we sef GE we own, If na naija Dem go say na because she no born boy.
So bad, no matter the case may be. I just dislike divorce. (sad face)

***ECHOMASS***
SMH, what a way to round up the year
After 19yrs,such a pity
One last punch from 2014. Chai
Sometime people's take wrong decision may God take control
Wht a shame!

I laughed when I read dis part "This is a personal matter and Chris requests privacy".
Y bring it to d public domain if u want privacy???
#Royal Priesthood#
Good riddicks to bad rubbish.
After 18yrs of marriage u decide to divorce d woman. Dis is heartless.
Where do u expect her to start frm. God wil definitely punish those dat indulge in divorce.

Good for them...
Verily verily I tell u, some men are mean! Now tell me, wat did u discover nw dats making you to break up dat u didn't discover for 19 years..or during ur dating years??? Maybe he's not 2 blame sha! Some women can pretend for forty years until they are sure they now own d house b4 dia true colors can be shown! Nt knowing dat a man can divorce u even after 100 years of marriage, wateva it is sha...who cares? SIPPING MY COLD BOTTLE OF ORIGIN!! We rep! 5 STAR MUSIC!!
If in Africa we would say because the woman didn't produce a boy. kiki old age tails.
But I never saw this coming. Inshort I am speechless that Chris filed for divorce years ago and went through with it recently.
Mostly it's women who file. I just have a quirky smile on face that marriage na package oh!
FIX IT JESUS CHRIST!
Oh nt again.is well
awwww that's sad anyways wish them all the best #Chizzy says so. Lib addict
Chris Rock too
what's with all this breakups???even with such beautiful girls,now @such tender age their lives is scattered.
hmmm nawa oo
Nawa o wetin come cause am na?
Oh no...lizblemico@gmail
They know their reason, divorce is now rampant with these people
After 19years.. They are not serious.. Easy for them to file a divorce, what about the kids, have they thought of the effect on them and the later aftermath.. Stupid unserious ppl.
When I hear splits like this it saddens me, after 18years together, what could have possibly happened?
What a shame...such a beautiful family
After such number of years! That's not a good one.

Too Bad!
Oh my! Chris whyyyyyyy? *Shock of the day*.
That's their problem...
19years not 18
Get married, stay married or don't get married at all. They are easy choices. I'm an advocate of that.
Jesus is Lord.
Oooooops too bad nigga

first timer.... Awwww but I love this man, he is so funny with his jokes. but why would Ppl love each other, stay together most if there years decides to split... tears!
18,19,20yrs...which one is it?
Anyway,congrats to them...Chris can now get some new pussy and the lady can get some new dick too..marriage is boring!
There should be a law where couples can sign up for the amount of years they want to get married for in court,from the start. 3,5,6,7 or 10 yrs... It's a very brilliant idea! LET'S LIVE! why would anyone wants to spend the rest of THEIR life with ONE SINGLE PERSON?
What a great couple they were
divorce here and there, nobody respects God again. especially all this celebs... nawaoooo
That is life
Americans just can't stay married
Marriage is God's institution, it cannot be personalized. It's the Spirit of God that keeps a marriage, it's the fuel that keeps a marriage going, it is the binding force. Without God, your personal effort will fail, no matter how long you try. Couples must learn to call on the Almighty God every day through prayer, He is the sustainer, and His book, the Holy Bible is there to direct us, no matter the storm. A family that prays together, stays together. May God help all married people going through crisis.

Chei akuko borochi so sad
Whaoooo! Can't they work it out? After 19 years
Wonder what would cause such a split after so many years together! Its simply innappropriate.
wow after 18years!!!
our parents and grandparents stayed true and are enjoying the fruit of their labour after the hurdles.
Wondering why they divorced after 18 good years.
Wtf!! All these things are damn weird!! Why stay with someone that long, bear beautiful children with him/her and then wake up a day and call it quit!! To me, greed is what is worrying some of these white women!!
Normal tradition
awwwww this is sad having been together for so long..i hate this kinda news

Why are this people so quick to divorce. 19years and u just cut itoff like that?

Rich n HillArious still dey can't keep dere shit 2 geda ...smh
You are the real definition of an idiot!
End time things
This is sad.
Divorce is now so rampant
Where is my comment madam single lady....it took me like 30minutes to compose the msg...better approve it, don't annoy me
And then they will call it *trending*smh. What's the joy in divorce sef?
Chris was once accused of fathering a child with a Hungarian model who also alleged rape and other sordidness. He settled that case, but maybe the recent Bill Cosby accusations made Malaak realize she doesn't want to be another Camille Cosby giving her life to a man who's shenanigans destroy her self esteem. The illusion of the perfect marriage wasn't enough.
Are u okay at all. Dear Lord!!!!
Chris rock of all people. What a pity
..👏BIG BROTHER SAYS SO..👏
chris ma man, am disappointed in you, when i get married, it will be till death do us apart and not divorce
