On March 4, Netflix released a new comedy special from comedian and actor Chris Rock, and his jokes hit home. The 58-year-old comedian opened up about the controversial incident between him and Will Smith at the 2022 Academy Awards.
“Will Smith practices selective outrage,” he said during his set. “Everybody knows I had nothing to do with that. I didn’t have any entanglements.”
He discussed the present state of his romantic relationships as well as the infamous incident that occurred at the awards show. Because he started dating actress/director Lake Bell in the summer of 2022, his most recent stand-up admission is revealing. What follows is a further explanation.
Who Is Chris Rock Dating: Chris Rock Has Been In A Relationship With Actress Lake Bell
In June 2022, the stand-up comedian and the voice actress who voices Harley Quinn were spotted at a St. Louis Cardinals game, sparking relationship rumors. The couple didn’t display public affection, but later dates revealed they were more than just friends.
The couple was observed having dinner together again in Los Angeles the following month. Pagesix.com reported on July 3 that patrons at the Santa Monica “celebrity hot spot” Giorgio Baldi had spotted Chris and Lake holding hands while enjoying a meal together.
After being spotted together by Giorgio Baldi, Us Weekly quickly confirmed their connection. “Chris has been in a pretty good mood,” a source said in July. He’s seeing Lake Bell and spending his free time with her.
However, on March 4, 2023, during his live Netflix special, “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” Rock, 58, shared an update on his relationship status, confirming that he’s currently not seeing anyone in particular. “I’m single. I’ve been single for a long time,” he said. “I was married for a long time. I was dating somebody for a while. Now I’m single.”

When Chris Rock And Lake Bell Started Dating?
Fun-loving couple! Chris Rock and Lake Bell’s romance rumors in the summer of 2022 made them Hollywood’s most talked-about comic duo. The original sighting of the South Carolinian and Harley Quinn star at a June 2022 Cardinals game catalyzed the pairing. While the couple did not engage in public displays of affection, attentive spectators noticed they sat together in the stadium’s premium box seats and spent most of the game standing close.
After grabbing dinner with the New York native in Santa Monica, California, on Independence Day, the Saturday Night Live veteran ignited further relationship speculation after being seen with her. A day later, TMZ obtained photographs of the couple having brunch on the coast.
Precisely two days last, Us Weekly verified the couple was an item, with an exclusive insider saying that “Chris has been in a great happy mood” since he began “dating and spending his downtime with Lake Bell.”
The source said, “They have similar personalities, and they just laugh a lot when they’re together.” After only a few weeks, Rock and Bell were spotted once more, this time on a yacht in Korcula, Croatia. Both comedians sat on sun loungers, listening to their music through headphones, and looked relaxed despite spending much time on opposite ends of the boat to avoid being photographed.

Developing feelings for one another occurred only a few months following the release of “Everyone Hates In March, a Chris alum made news as a presenter at the 94th annual Academy Awards. Rock had made a joke about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, which caused the Fresh Prince star to come out and slap him.
Smith regretted his behavior and was given a 10-year suspension from attending any Oscars-related functions. Yet, the In Living Color star has already moved on. “Chris is in a much better mindset than where he was a few months ago,” a source told Us when his relationship with Bell was made public.
He was formerly married to Malaak Compton-Rock, in 1996. The couple, who were married for twenty years, finally split up in April 2016. But, the Madagascar starlet and her husband of seven years, Scott Campbell, will officially call it quits in 2020. Although they officially announced their separation in November, the couple had been living apart for two months.
