Chris Rock was seen getting close with a woman identified as Simone Henault during a daytime outing in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. 

According to PEOPLE, the pair appeared relaxed as they walked side by side through a park, eventually stopping to sit together on a bench.

At one point, the two leaned in and shared a kiss, making their connection hard to miss. 

The outing marked a rare public moment for Rock, who tends to keep his dating life out of the spotlight.

Henault, who works as a DJ, creative producer, and content strategist, has also built a background in styling and production. 

The sighting wasn’t their first time together either. Just weeks earlier, they were seen leaving Giorgio Baldi, a well-known restaurant in Santa Monica, before getting into a car together.

Chris Rock’s latest outing comes after years of high-profile relationships and candid reflections on his personal life. 

He was previously married to Malaak Compton-Rock from 1996 to 2016, and the former couple share two daughters, Lola Simone Rock and Zahra Savannah Rock.

Following his divorce, the comedian has been linked to several women, including actress Lake Bell. 

The two were spotted together multiple times in 2022, including dinner outings and public appearances, with one source saying they had “been seeing each other for a few weeks” and were enjoying getting to know each other.

Chris has also spoken openly about his life as a single man. During a 2022 appearance on Kevin Hart’s “Hart to Heart,” he joked about his situation when the actor told him, “You’re a 56-year-old bachelor now.” 

Chris replied, “I’m by myself. I’m a lonely man!” before adding, “I think I’m good. At some point I’ll have a woman and whatever, and hopefully she’ll be with me for a while.”

He also shared that he had become an empty nester after both of his daughters left for college, marking a new chapter in his personal life.

In 2023, Chris made headlines when he sparked dating rumors with Amber Rose after they were spotted together in New York City just days after Christmas, with photos of their outing quickly circulating online. 

As The Blast reported, the pair were seen taking a relaxed stroll through the city, laughing and chatting before eventually heading back to Chris’s apartment, which fueled speculation that their connection might be more than friendly.  

Witnesses described them as comfortable and engaged, adding to the buzz around a possible romance. 

However, the rumors didn’t last long. Rose later shut down the speculation, clarifying that their meetup was not a date. 

She explained they had been friends for years and simply met for coffee, saying they were “just friends” who enjoy each other’s company.  

While the sighting initially had fans excited about a new celebrity couple, Rose made it clear the post-holiday hangout was nothing more than a casual catch-up.

One year after the dating rumors, Chris Rock got people talking again. According to a report from The Blast, he reportedly cut his comedy set short at a lavish holiday party hosted by billionaire Anthony Pratt, leaving guests stunned after abruptly walking off stage. 

During the surprise performance, the 61-year-old had been delivering his usual edgy jokes when something in the room appeared to upset him. 

According to the report, he suddenly realized he was being filmed despite an apparent no-recording agreement, prompting him to react. 

Chris reportedly shouted that he “wasn’t supposed to be taped, videoed, reported,” before pushing through the crowd and exiting the room without finishing his set. 

While some described the moment as him “storming out,” others claimed he simply ended the performance early because of the filming violation rather than out of anger.  

The unexpected exit caused confusion among attendees, as the filmmaker did not return to explain what happened. 

His set, which had barely begun, ended abruptly, and singer Keith Urban later stepped in to continue entertaining guests at the high-profile event.

A few months ago, Chris gave major credit to his longtime friend Ben Stiller, especially when it came to love and marriage. 

Speaking in an interview with The New York Times for the outlet’s October 16 profile on Stiller, Chris praised the actor’s decision to reconcile with his wife, Christine Taylor, after their 2017 separation. 

He famously remarked that “a marriage getting back together is harder to do than a $600 million movie,” highlighting just how difficult he believed rekindling a relationship could be. 

Stiller and Taylor quietly reunited during the pandemic while living together with their children, choosing to work through their issues rather than go their separate ways.
