0:00It's April 3rd. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. Chris Rock looks like he's got a new flame, creative producer, and DJ Simone Hanalt. Back in March 2026, they got spotted leaving an upscale spot in Santa Monica, California, then later that month holding hands and kissing in a new. York City Park. Hanalt brings serious game to the table. She worked at Google on the Waze team until 2025 after stints at agencies like 19th and Park and the Fader. She's all about linking brands with artists through culture and experiences. She studied public relations, advertising, and applied communication at St. Edward's University in Austin from 2009 to 2013. With roots in New Orleans and New York, she was based in Austin as recent as 2021. These days, she's spinning tracks at spots like Soho House and Shortage House, dropping soulful playlists on Spotify and even journaling her. Thoughts since she was 12.
