Chris Rock splits with girlfriend Megalyn Echikunwoke after four years of dating


Chris Rock, 55, and Megalyn Echikunwoke, 36, have called it quits after four years of dating. 

The pair split a few months ago, before Rock’s memorable appearance at the Oscars where he poked fun of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, according to Page Six. 

Sources claim Rock still wasn’t ready to settle down yet, following the divorce of his wife Malaak Compton-Rock, who he was married to from 1996 to 2014, with the divorce finalized in 2016.

Rock and Echikunwoke were first spotted together in 2016 just one day after Rock’s divorce to Compton-Rock was finalized.

Since Echikunwoke was proudly displaying a ring in the photo, there was speculation they were already engaged as Rock’s divorce was complete, but that was debunked. 

Still, the pair have been dating ever since, until they quietly split a few months ago, according to sources.

Rock admitted to infidelity while he was married to Compton-Rock, opening up about his relationship in a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone. 

He admitted cheating on Compton-Rock with three women, one of whom is famous, though he did not identify her, but said, ‘I was a piece of s**t.’

‘Getting divorced, you have to f–king start over,’ he said. ‘You get to reset. It’s not a breakdown, but something in your life broke down.”
