Chris Rock and Lake Bell were seen together on Saturday when they walked out for dinner in Santa Monica, California. The comedian and actress were spotted outside Giorgio Baldi’s restaurant wearing elegant clothing, including a white long-sleeved shirt, grey pants, and brown shoes for him and a black crop top, dark grey jeans, and black shoes for her.
They didn’t hold hands outside, but they strolled close to one other and seemed calm and happy to be hanging out with each other. According to Page Six, a source told the outlet that the couple displayed PDA, including holding hands, inside the Italian restaurant, causing many to suspect they were dating. They appeared to keep things inconspicuous for cameras, though and were very cautious not to express any emotion in situations where it may be recorded on tape.
Chris and Lake were last seen together at a baseball game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, where the St. Louis Cardinals were playing. In a video captured by TMZ, the duo could be seen hanging out in a box but they kept their presence low-key and unobtrusive. However, there were many grins on their faces, indicating that they were having a good time.
Chris draws attention to his comedy acts when he isn’t doing so for his love life. The comedian hasn’t stopped making jokes about the headline-grabbing slap he received from Will Smith at the 2022 Academy Awards earlier this year. During a standup performance at the UK’s Royal Albert Hall in May, he said that he is “OK” following the slap. He also jokingly said, “I got most of my hearing back.”
Chris said that he won’t talk about the slap publicly until he books a comedy special, except for a few jokes here and there. “People expect me to talk about the bullsh*t. I’m not going to talk about it right now. I’ll get to it eventually on Netflix,” he said. “Anyone who says ‘words hurt’ has never been punched in the face.”
