Famed comedian-actor Chris Rock and his wife, Malaak Compton-Rock, have a lot to smile about. The two recently became the parents of a beautiful baby girl.

Compton-Rock gave birth to Lola Simone in New York. Both mother and daughter are doing fine.

Chris and Malaak wed in Oxon Hill, MD, in 1996 after dating for three years. This is the couple's first child.

Rock's latest movie is the comedic thriller Bad Company with Anthony Hopkins. Film credits for Rock include Down To Earth, Nurse Betty, Lethal Weapon 4, Boomerang and New Jack City. His works also include the Emmy Award-winning "The Chris Rock Show."

Compton-Rock is executive director of Style Works, a nonprofit organization that she founded in 1999 as a support service for former welfare dependents who want to work but don't know how to present themselves at interviews or in office environments.
