Today, on Valentine’s Day, Chris Rock debuted his first Netflix TV show special. The deal was signed in 2016, and after a long wait, the special is set to air today. The show is titled Chris Rock: Tamborine, and it’s his first special since his 2008, Kill the Messenger. The program is expected to cover topics ranging from relationships to race.

Chris Rock’s Relationship History

In an interview from last year, Chris Rock spoke in detail about divorcing his wife of 18 years and confessed to being unfaithful in his marriage. He married Malaak Compton on November 23, 1996, but separated in 2014. Their divorce was finalized in 2016.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Rock revealed that, after his divorce was finalized, he had to start over. “Getting divorced, you have to f*****g start over, you get to reset. It’s not a breakdown, but something in your life broke down,” he said.

He also admitted to cheating on his wife with three women, one of whom is said to be famous. Rock once said that he felt justified in his infidelity because he was the main income earner in the household. However, he now sees things a little differently saying, “That’s bulls**t, that actually goes the other way. My faults are magnified. Your significant other, if they really love you, has a high opinion of you. And you let them down.”

He added, “God forbid people are bugging her in the supermarket. That’s not cool. I’m going to have to see her at weddings and graduations.” While Rock put the blame on himself, he did not shy away from talking about the new girl in his life.
