Chris Rock may have a new film on deck called “I Think I Love My Wife,” but the actor-comedian has apparently lost the love for his real wife, Malaak Compton-Rock. According to TMZ.com, the film star has filed for divorce.
The couple, married in November of 1996, has two daughters – 4 year-old Lola and 2 year-old Zahra. According to TMZ, Rock has hired a high-powered divorce attorney to represent him.
Compton-Rock is the Founder and Executive Director of StyleWORKS; a non-profit, full-service organization that provides free services for women transitioning from welfare into the workforce. In a case of art imitating life, Rock served as director and star of “I Think I Love My Wife,”. The film tells the story of a married man who daydreams about being with other women, and finds his will and morals tested after he’s visited by the ex-mistress of his old friend. The film is due in theaters next year.
