Chris Rock Fights For Children’s Custody + Toya Wright’s Husband Hints At Troubled Marriage
Reportedly, there seems to be some tension over the comedic actor spending time with their two children, 12-year-old Lola and 10-year-old Zahra.
Reportedly, in his divorce docs, Rock claims that Malaak has been preventing him from seeing their 2 daughters on a regular basis. TMZ reports:
As for finances … Rock acknowledges they had a prenup when they married in 1996 — but says it’s expired because they’ve been together for just over 18 years.
The split has been in the works for at least a month. In the docs, Rock says back in November they identified all the community property to be split up once they divorce.
Interestingly … Rock points out Malaak has the “ability to work and contribute to her own support” — which sounds like he’s angling to reduce any spousal support payments.
According to a Page Six source, Rock decided to leave because he simply wasn’t happy:
Chris just wasn’t happy in the marriage anymore. There is no third party involved .?.?. Chris and his wife had previously separated and got back together, so there have been problems for some time.
Rock nor Malaak have yet to comment about the split, since their official statement via their attorneys. [Page Six, TMZ]
