Chris Rock and Wife have decided to end their marriage after nearly 20 years.
On Sunday Chris Rock's wife Malaak Compton announced she was leaving the 49-year-old comedian.
'After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways,' she said in a statement.
The founder
of the nonprofit styleWorks added, '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.
The two wed in 1996 and have two daughters, 12-year-old Lola Simone and 10-year-old Zahra Savannah. They reside in New Jersey.
The couple were plagued by a report in 2010 that he had fathered a child out of wedlock.
In 2007 there were reports that they were on the rocks, but Chris defended they were 'happy.'
'The best part is just having a partner,' the Madagascar star said in 2007,we wish them luck in their new quest.
