He was always making fun of married life....and I think they were separated previously, but had 'worked it out'. That's too bad.

On his other stand up he says after you get married you dont get no more pussy. You get VAGINA??? You dont fuck anymore. You have SEXUAL INTERCOURSE??? (Big EYes and shouting voice.) Cracks me up anyway.

um actually i've heard on other gossip sites for years that he's a serial cheater and fucks around constantly; he's a total player even though he kinda seems like a dork.

FilmMagic.comComedian Chris Rock has begun divorce proceedings against his wife of almost 10 years, Malaak Compton-Rock, TMZ reports. Sources tell the Web site that the comedian has hired a high-powered divorce attorney to represent him.

The couple, married in November of 1996, has two daughters – Lola, 4, and Zahra, 2.

Rock, 41, got his start in such movies as New Jack City and I’m Gonna Git You Sucka and was a Saturday Night Live cast member for three years. He established himself as one of the foremost comedians in the industry with his 1996 stand-up album Bring the Pain, which was followed by two successful HBO comedy specials: Bigger and Blacker (1999) and Never Scared (2004).

Time magazine pronounced Rock “the funniest man in America.” He is currently in post-production for the film I Think I Love My Wife.

Malaak is the Founder and Executive Director of StyleWorks; a non-profit, full-service salon that provides free services for women leaving welfare and entering the workforce.

In 2004, Rock said that fatherhood had made him a more committed to his marriage. "The kid got me more into my marriage, I guess," he told the New York Observer. "I thought I was married before, but I was kind of show business married -- like hey, whatever happens, happens. Now I'm like in it. There's an acceptance of marriage. I know people that get married and somewhere in the marriage, they get committed. So I'm like really committed to my marriage now."

Rock often poked fun at marriage and fatherhood in his routines.

"Men! You marry, have kids. You live to be about 38,” he says in his comedy special Never Scared. “Don't get me wrong, guys. You'll breathe another 40 years, but the living is over. You're a f--king dead man...Your life's f--king over. Ain't no new sh-t happening to you. You want to see new, look at your kids. You don't think you're dead, look at your parents. Mom, alive. Dad, dead!”
When contacted by TMZ, Rock's rep would only say "I cannot comment at this time."

Chris Rock is funny and all, but his whole rap about marriage always seemed a bit too intense to just be a part of the stage act. Now he can start getting pussy again. My guess is after a few mos of this he'll get right back into another relationship, whether it's by choice or by accident (knocking someone up). His wife is probably better off. What's the point in being with someone where you end up in the position of having to put your foot down just to make sure he doesn't fuck around so he can hate your ass for it?

I believe it was in 2004’s Never Scared that Chris mentioned something like:

“My wife and I have a deal that I am not aloud to say anything about her.”

^ Which OBVIOUSLY means she was probably more then upset at some of the things he says about marriage. He often talks about how great fatherhood is, but generally marriage always brought some negative comments.

They separated last year because he cheated on her and then they got back together. i think the girl that he cheated with claimed that she was pregnant and was trying to get money or some thing like that. I think it was a scam that she and her boyfriend came up with. He's always been a cheat and his wife is very beautiful so she should take the kids, and his money and move on.
