About a year after the finalization of his divorce from his wife and still recovering, Chris went on a tour with materials inspired by his doomed marriage. Referencing his marriage to his ex-wife, Rolling Story in its cover story reported the father of two daughters - Lola, age 16 & Zahra, age 14 - saying:-
“I was a piece of s–t”
In an interview with the same magazine, Chris - who has six younger siblings named: Andre Rock, Tony Rock, Brian Rock, Kenny Rock, Andi Rock, and Jordan Rock - delved into what might have possibly gone wrong in his marriage. He said, “My faults are magnified. Your significant other, if they really love you, have a high opinion of you. And you let them down.”
According to Rolling Stone, Chris' then-newest stage materials segued into his infidelities and got disarmingly specific, suggesting three girlfriends: "one famous, one semi-famous, and one a member of a retail class."
The suggested famous mistress is none other than Scandal actress Kerry Washington. A Hollywood insider told Page Six:-
“He was cheating on his wife with Kerry when they were filming [‘I Think I Love My Wife’] about him, ironically, having fantasies of cheating on his wife. That went on for a while, for like six months, and she found out. There’s no gray area.”
To this date, neither Chris nor Kerry's camp has ever commented on their rumored affair. Kerry is now married to Nnamdi Asomugha with two kids.
