Chris Rock New Girlfriend: Comedian Finds Love Months After Infamous Oscars Slap
Months after Chris Rock was slapped in front of a live audience and millions of viewers at home, it seems like the comedian has good news as he's reportedly dating an HBO Max actress.
According to Pop Culture, the comic was photographed hanging out with Lake Bell, the voice actress behind Poison Ivy in the animated series "Harley Quinn."
The two had dinner at a celebrity-favorite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica, California, over the July Fourth weekend.
The restaurant was the same place where The Weeknd was spotted hanging out with Angelina Jolie.
The 57-year-old comedian kept it casual by wearing a white sweater, beige pants, and a pair of brown shoes.
On the other hand, Bell wore a black crop top, jeans and black shoes.
An eyewitness confirmed to ET Online that the two were holding hands after having dinner. Another report also stated that the two hung out at Coast in Santa Monica earlier that day.
The rumored couple has been seeing each other for a while now, as they were previously seen enjoying a baseball game last month.
To keep things discreet, the actress reportedly walked away from their box seats when her lover did an on-cam interview.
A source told the outlet that they have been "casually dating for months," and it seems like things are going the right way because Rock is making time for someone while he's on tour.
"He's hyper-focused on his tour and [an] upcoming comedy special, so I know he really likes her since he's making seeing her a priority!" the insider revealed.
Chris Rock also doesn't want the infamous Oscars slap to stop him from living his best life because he's in a "good head space right now."
The recent sighting comes a few months after the comedian joked about Jada Pinkett Smith's hairstyle at this year's Academy Awards.
Little did he know, the "Matrix" actress was suffering from alopecia.
Will Smith didn't take the joke lightly, leading him to go on stage to slap Rock in front of a live audience.
Upon returning to his seat, the "King Richard" actor shouted, "keep my wife's name out of your f****** mouth!"
Rock was married to Malaak Compton-Rock until 2016, while Bell married Scott Campbell from 2013 to 2020.
