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.

Who is Simone Henault?

Henault is a DJ, creative producer and content strategist. Her past experience also includes styling and production work, as well as a role at Google.

Rock was previously married to Malaak Compton-Rock for two decades before their 2016 split. The former couple share two daughters. Since then, he has been linked to several women, including Lake Bell, with whom he was briefly spotted in 2022.

At the time, Rock joked about adjusting to single life and called himself “a lonely man” during an appearance on Hart to Heart with Kevin Hart.

He has also been connected to Megalyn Echikunwoke and Carmen Ejogo in the past.

However, neither Rock nor Henault has officially commented on the matter.
