Lola Simone Rock became the first child comedian Chris Rock welcomed after initially having no interest in fatherhood. The 20-year-old, who has been studying in Europe, is one of three siblings, one of whom was adopted by her mother.

Lola Simone Rock drew her first breath in New York City on June 28, 2002. Although her dad, Chris Rock, has raved about her and her younger sister since their arrival, the comedian was initially disinterested in fatherhood. His heart changed tune after the events of 9/11.

And while being a dad has positively impacted his personal growth and career, Chris admittedly hasn't been a "cool dad." The actor has ensured that Lola and her sister, despite being "rich and spoiled," learned that there were consequences to their actions, especially if they broke the rules.

Lola Simone Rock Already Graduated and Chose a College

Lola graduated from the Bergen Passaic chapter of Jack and Jill of America in June 2020. Her mom, Malaak Compton-Rock, took to Instagram to celebrate her daughter's milestone, saying she couldn't be prouder of the young woman Lola had become.

Malaak also revealed that Lola would attend college in Europe, though she didn't specify where on the continent. She shared that Lola's "love language" was food and travel, and the youngster "sees life through the lens of communicating through food, culture, and community," Malaak wrote.

With those words in mind, it has been rumored that Lola is attending a culinary school in Paris. However, another report said she is studying filmmaking. Her high school graduation featured a surprise appearance and speech from Hollywood couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. That same month, she got matching tattoos with her dad.

During his latest special, "Selective Outrage," last month, Chris revealed that Lola once got into trouble after being caught drinking with her schoolmates during an excursion. He completely disapproved and wanted Lola to face real consequences. So he spoke with the Dean to ensure she was expelled.

Lola Simone Has a Younger Sister, Zahra, and an Adopted Sister Ntombi

Lola's younger sister, Zahra Rock, was born on May 22, 2004. Unlike her older sister, Zahra has an active social media presence, where she shares her passion for activism and travel. The 18-year-old is studying at the University of Southern California, though her chosen field is unknown.

Lola also has an adoptive sister named Ntombi. Her parents were in the process of adopting the young lady from South Africa when they filed for divorce, and her mom ended up being the only parent to assume guardianship over Ntombi. Little is known about Lola's adoptive sibling apart from how she came into the picture.

Lola's Parents Are Sadly Divorced

Lola's parents had met in 1994 and dated for about two years before tying the knot in 1996. In the following years, the pair expanded their brood and led what seemed to be a fulfilling family life. They went their separate ways in 2014 and announced their split in a joint statement that year.

The divorce proceedings stretched for another two years before they were finalized in 2016. The reason for their separation remains unknown, as the pair has been relatively private about their relationship. However, years after the divorce, Chris opened up about his infidelities.

The actor confessed to being unfaithful throughout his marriage, initially believing he could get away with it because he was rich and famous. He also admitted that he wasn't always a good husband, but he has since moved on from his marriage and continues co-parenting Lola and Zahra with Malaak.

Chris has had an active dating life since splitting from his ex-wife. He started dating actress Megalyn Echikunwoke in 2016, but the former lovers separated in 2020. In addition to a soaring career, Malaak also found a new love; In March this year, she shared a sneak peek into her date night with her longtime partner.
