Despite recent reports that they had filed for divorce, Chris Rock and his wife state that they are together and fine, thanks . His new movie is about a guy who is tempted to cheat on his wife with an old girlfriend. TMZ reported that they had filed for divorce and they're usually pretty accurate with their investigating. So don't get snotty with us, Chris! In your silver suit, stalking the stage.

Despite a recent story in the New York Daily News that their marriage was in trouble, Chris Rock and wife Malaak are fine, they tell PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.

"Though we have tried in the past to take the high road and not comment on the tabloid media, we find it necessary to express on record how unfortunate it is that the Daily News, specifically, and other tabloid outlets have chosen to print untrue rumors and lies about our family and marriage," the comic, 42, and his wife, 37, said in a statement.

"It is extremely hurtful to us, our children, and our extended family. We remain, as always, very happy and committed to our marriage and the beautiful family that we have built."

I'm naming my baby Malaak. That's a hot name. Oh, yeah, uh, congrats on the staying together thing. This story is going to look really silly if that new movie does well and you immediately jettison Malaak for a sexier version.
