It is believed that this was where she grew up with her family. However, she and her family also lived in Alpine, a city in New Jersey for some time.

When Lola was born, the news of her birth made headlines around the world as different media houses rushed to write about her father’s new child. This was expected considering how popular Chris Rock is on the global stage. Lola’s mother is a woman called Malaak Compton-Rock who happens to be a passionate humanitarian, advocate, and author.

Lola grew up being shown lots of love by both parents who have openly confessed to being very much in love with their daughter. Also, considering the kind of wealthy and famous family she was born into, it is safe to say that Lola grew up receiving the best care any child can dream of and that money can buy.

To be clear, not much is known about how exactly Lola spent her days as a little girl with her family. However, Chris Rock once hinted during an interview in 2019 that he raised her very strictly and this includes smacking and beating her sometimes if need be when she was a child. This, of course, does not mean the comedian hates his daughter. As a matter of fact, he has openly confessed countless times that nothing makes him happier than being her father.

Eventually, in 2021, Lola began to attend a university in Paris, France. Details of the name of the university she is attending and what she is studying in school have been kept a secret but her mother has been excitedly talking about her daughter’s exploits in school.

Zahra Savannah Rock

Lola’s younger sister, Zahra Savannah Rock, was born on the 22nd day of May 2004 and is now 19 years old. Both girls have grown into adorable young ladies. But, they have different personalities, according to their father, Chris Rock. The comedian once explained that Lola is the more sensitive and calm one while Zahra is the extrovert who is more like him.

Perhaps because of her very extroverted nature, Zahra developed a passion for horseback riding from a very early age and has now become an equestrian who is growing into an achiever in the sport. In fact, she has taken part in several competitions and has done well in them. In early 2020, Zahra was unable to compete for about four months following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, she returned to the competition circuit in July 2020 and showed pure class.

She took part in the HITS-on-the-Hudson equestrian series in Saugerties, New York in early August and placed first, bringing home the coveted first-place ribbons – blue in the U.S. She was also the overall Reserve Champion. She achieved this with her two horses called Sawyer and Colorful. It is clear that Zahra is going to be great as an equestrian as she keeps exploiting her talent on the field.

Zahra also loves hanging out with other celebrities. She has been pictured with top superstars like Taylor Swift and Cardi B in the past. The equestrian reportedly started to attend her senior year of high school in person in August 2021 after spending nearly two years at home being homeschooled and having virtual classes due to the pandemic.

Ntombi-futhi Samantha

Apart from Zahra Savannah Rock, Lola Simone Rock also has another sister called Ntombi-futhi Samantha, who was adopted into their family from South Africa. Ntombi’s biological parents are Crispen Khanyile and Precious Ndebele, a South African couple. According to some reports, Ntombi started living with Lola and her family in 2008 and was given the same treatment as Chris Rock and Malaak Compton-Rock’s biological kids.

Ntombi, who was born on February 23, 2008, was just 6 months old when she started to live with Chris Rock’s family and it was thought Rock and his wife had adopted the little girl before letting her live with them. However, in 2015, when Ntombi was already 7 years old, it was revealed that Chris Rock and his wife had not yet legally adopted her. It was found out that even though Ntombi had already spent 7 years with the Rocks, she had not been legally adopted by the couple.

Some reports claimed that Ntombi was allowed to live in America with the Rocks on a visitor visa that required return to her home country every year for renewal. The news made headlines around the world as some people questioned what right Chris Rock and his family had to bring a little girl into their home without legally adopting her. It was also believed that the girls’ adoption was something only Malaak Compton-Rock wanted because Chris Rock was not very interested in signing the adoption papers to take Ntombi-futhi Samantha into the family.

The girl’s father later spoke on the matter hinting that he gave out his daughter to Chris Rock’s family because he fell on hard times. He explained that he and Ntombi’s mother were unemployed and were already taking care of two other kids when Ntombi was born. So things were quite tough for them. It is not clear if some money exchanged hands between both families. It is believed that Ntombi has now been fully and legally adopted by Malaak Compton-Rock alone.
