Comic star Chris Rock is to divorce his wife of ten years Malaak Compton-Rock.

The 'Dogma' actor - who was named by Time magazine as "the funniest man in America" - has reportedly hired a high-powered divorce lawyer to represent him.

No reason has been given yet as to why the couple are splitting.

Rock - famous for his controversial hosting of last year's Oscars when he repeatedly mocked Jude Law over his affair with his children's nanny - married Malaak in November 1996. They have two daughters, four-year-old Lola and two-year-old Zahra, together.

Malaak is the founder and executive director of StyleWORKS, a non-profit salon that provides free services for women leaving welfare and entering the workforce.

Rock - who has just finished shooting new film 'I Think I Love My Wife' - once revealed in an interview that he felt his marriage had taken over his life.

He said: "Marriage is beautiful. But, if you're a guy, your self is dead. Get rid of you. Take yourself to the door, wave and say, 'Hey, see you later.' It sounds horrible. I'm happier than I've ever been now that I've shot myself in the head."

1st off; this was already posted but no one cared because 2nd of all; we all know (in the gossip community) what a rabid disgusting cheater Chris is/was so his wife is better off.

Sorry, I didn't know he was a rabid cheater--I thought he flew under the gossip radar since I'd never heard anything about him.

But the more important issue is that women are even willing to bed his ginormous teeth! Looks like a goofy cartoon character...

^ hahahah yeah i know; but yeah I've heard on other sites about his philandering which is just awful, like he doesn't have a heart or something.
