Chris Rock recently announced his divorce from his wife of 19 years, Malaak Compton-Rock, and his brother Tony spoke exclusively to VladTV about the news. The comedian told us that he supports Chris' decisions, and just wants what's best for him.
"I support anything my bro does in order to be happy. It's none of my business really. I got my own sh*t to deal with. I'm still trying to figure out how every black comic in America except for me was in Top 5. Wtf?!?!"
Chris and Malaak were married in 1996, and reside in Alpine, New Jersey with their two girls, Lola, 12, and Zahra, 10. She sent out a statement to the media to announce the news, and Malaak explained that their children were at the "center of my life."
"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."
