But it’s not the first time the father-daughter duo have stepped out together for a public outing. According to British media, Chris and Lola were spotted taking a stroll in New York City, not too far from his SoHo, Manhattan flat, last month.

Chris shares two daughters with his ex-wife, Malaak Compton-Rock. Here’s everything you need to know about them as they venture further into the public eye.

Lola Simone and Zahra Savannah Rock’s background

Chris Rock had two kids, Lola Simone and Zahra Savannah, during his marriage to Malaak Compton-Rock. The couple were together for nearly two decades, having tied the knot in 1996, but they called it quits by 2014 and finalised their divorce in 2016. Having children changed Rock’s life: “Everything I’ve done since I’ve had kids is better than the stuff I did before I had kids,” he said, per People.

They’re both attending university

Lola, 21, is Chris’ eldest daughter. In his live Netflix special Selective Outrage, he shared one story about Lola where she got caught drinking with her friends during a school trip to Portugal. “I need you to kick my daughter out of this school,” he said he told the school. “I need my Black child to learn her lesson right now before she is up on OnlyFans and some s***.”

When the NYC-born fashionista graduated from the Bergen Passaic chapter of Jack & Jill of America back in 2020, during the pandemic, she got a surprise speech from Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith (though this was before Will infamously slapped her dad at the Oscars).

According to Lola and Zahra’s mum, the girls are now at university. “My two big girls, Lola and Zahra, are back at university. Oh, how I loved the month that they were home for the holidays! I think I was doing pretty good with both of them being away, but I am now feeling their absence something terrible,” said her Instagram post.

They’re no strangers to the red carpet

The younger Rocks are no strangers to the limelight, and although they lived a relatively low-key lifestyle in their teens, they did attend some events with their famous parents in their younger days.

Back in 2007, they posed at the Arthur Ashe Kids Day at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre in Queens. Zahra also joined her dad on the red carpet when she was just three years old to attend his Bee Movie premiere the same year, as per People.

Zahra enjoys horse riding …

As seen in posts shared by her mother, Zahra could be an equestrian in the making. The 19-year-old, who’s reportedly studying at the University of Southern California, has been riding horses for years.

… while Lola loves food, fashion and travel

Put simply, Lola loves food, fashion and travel.

In her mum’s 21st birthday tribute to her daughter, she declared that Lola was always “a curious, adventurous and confident child and these traits have followed her into adulthood”. She added that Lola has been “a foodie since the age of two”.

Her proud mama added, “Everyone knows if you need restaurant suggestions in any major city worldwide, call Lola! London, New York, Copenhagen, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Barcelona, etc, she’s your girl!”

Chris Rock is very protective over his girls

Like many dads out there, Chris is protective over his daughters, to say the least.

Back in 2014, he said, per British media, “You’ve got girls, so you might have to watch out. You might have to hurt somebody.” He added emphatically, “If Lola came home and told me a guy hit her, I would get my gun and shoot the guy. I would put DNA on the bullet to make sure everybody knows I did it.”

What did Chris Rock’s daughters think about the Will Smith Oscars slap?

According to an interview with People, comedian Leslie Jones stated that the moment deeply impacted the Rock family. “That s*** was humiliating. It really affected him,” she recalled. “People need to understand his daughters, his parents, saw that. He had to go to counselling with his daughters.”
