ISA na namang long-term Hollywood marriage ang nagwakas.
Matapos ang halos dalawang dekadang pagsasama, inihayag ni Chris Rock at ng asawang si Malaak na magdidiborsiyo na sila.
“Chris Rock has filed for divorce from his wife, Malaak,” sinabi ng kanyang abogado na si Attorney Robert S. Cohen sa isang pahayag sa People magazine noong Linggo. “This is a personal matter and Chris requests privacy as he and Malaak work through this process and focus on their family.”
Inamin din ni Malaak ang paghihiwalay sa isang pahayag sa magazine.
“After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways,” sabi ng pilantropo at founder ng nonprofit na StyleWorks. “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.”
Ang 49-anyos na aktor at si Malaak, 45, ay ikinasal noong 1996. Ang mag-asawa ay naninirahan sa New Jersey, na roon nila pinalaki ang dalawa nilang anak na babae na sina Lola Simone, 12; at Zahra Savannah, 10. - Access Hollywood
