Malaak Compton Rock met Chris Rock at the Essence Awards and on November 23 1996 they tied the knot. Their marriage as much as the public knew had a great footing until divorce rumours took charge in 2014 18 years into the marriage when Malaak was 45 and Chris was 46. However, it was in 2016 when she was 47 that the divorce was finalized.

The divorce was not far-fetched from Chris Rock’s infidelity as reported. He was also said to have admitted to his struggling with pornography addiction. Also, it was claimed by some reports that her ex-husband cheated on her with American actress, Kerry Washington.

Although her marriage to Chris Rock produced 2 daughters, Lola Simone who was born on 28 June 2002 and Zahra Savannah who was born on May 22 2004; the former couple had another girl, Ntombi from South Africa who had been living with them since she was 6 months old.

However, during their divorce, Chris Rock mentioned that he had only 2 children and Ntombi was brought from South Africa by Malaak Rock. By the time the girl was 12, Malaak had decided to formally adopt her – making her the last and 3rd child of the humanitarian.

Her 2 oldest and biological daughters have also become famous due to their father’s fame. The eldest, Lola Simone is a University student in Europe while Zahra is an equestrian.

Who is Malaak Compton Rock Dating Now?

The humanitarian is living her private life away from making it to the pages of magazines and away from the lenses of cameras. This has rather made it difficult to track her life as regards dating.

Nonetheless, her ex-husband, Chris Rock since their divorce has reportedly dated 2 women. The first is an American actress of Nigerian descent, Megalyn Echikunwoke whom he started dating in 2016 and the relationship reportedly ended in 2020 after 4 years.

Still, in 2020, he reportedly started dating another actress and singer, Carmen Ejogo. She is a British actress that was birthed by a Nigerian father and a Scottish mother in 1973.
