Everything to know about Chris Rock's new lover Simone Henault

Chris Rock has gone public with a new romance, stepping out with New York-based DJ Simone Henault.

The pair were recently seen together in Manhattan’s SoHo, where they enjoyed a casual daytime stroll and shared a kiss on a park bench.

This hard launch comes after they were spotted weeks earlier leaving a dinner at Giorgio Baldi, which suggests the connection has been building over time.
