Chris Rock has filed for divorce from his wife Malaak Compton-Rock, a statement from his representative confirmed on Sunday.

His wife, a philanthropist and founder of the nonprofit styleWorks, first made the announcement on Sunday.

“After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways,” she said. “Being fortunate enough to lead a life of service by working with those most vulnerable makes me well aware of life’s blessings, even when faced with difficulties.

“While recognizing that this is a significant change, my children remain at the center of my life and their well-being is my top priority. It is in this spirit that I sincerely ask that their privacy and the privacy of our family be respected during this transition in our lives.”

Rock has been busy promoting his new movie “Top Five,” which was just released in U.S. theaters.

He and Malaak have two daughters, Lola Simone, 12, and Zahra Savannah, 10.
