Chris Rock is once again at the center of dating speculation after being seen getting close to a mystery woman, now identified as DJ and creative professional Simone Henault.
The comedian was photographed during a recent outing in New York City, where the pair appeared affectionate, holding hands and sharing a kiss in public.
The sighting has quickly ignited romance rumors, with fans and media outlets speculating that Rock may have quietly entered a new relationship.
According to Daily Mail, the two were seen enjoying a relaxed stroll together, appearing comfortable and at ease in each other’s company.
Henault, who works as a DJ and content strategist, has largely stayed out of the public eye until now.
However, her recent appearances alongside Rock have drawn significant attention, particularly as the comedian has kept his personal life relatively private in recent years.
Moreover, the outing marks what many are calling a “hard launch” of the relationship, especially following multiple sightings of the pair together over the past few weeks.
Rock was previously married to Malaak Compton-Rock, with whom he shares two daughters, before their divorce in 2016.
Since then, he has been linked to several high-profile figures, though he has rarely confirmed relationships publicly.
