Chris Rock's 7-Year-Old 'Mystery Child' Has Been Living In The US With Only A Visitor Visa

Comedian Chris Rock recently made headlines for revealing that his "daughter," who has been living with him since 7-year-old Ntombi was barely a year old is not his daughter and he has not signed adoption papers to legally adopt her. He decided to dish out on this revelation since he thinks that his now estranged wife Malaak "did something shady" to get the South African baby to the United States.

An article on TMZ stated that this has already triggered an international investigation on the matter. According to the source, Ntombi's parents were unemployed back in her home country yet she found her way to the "Rush Hour" star's home. He hasn't seen Ntombi since his divorce with Malaak has been finalized late last year. But reports say he remained in contact with his two biological daughters.

South African officials has investigated if the former couple had legal documents to legally adopt her, yet no evidence that they went through the proper proceedings has been found. The same source now reports that the little girl has actually been staying in the country with only a Visitor Visa! Given that the Visa has a maximum validity of one year, Malaak allegedly went back to South Africa with Ntombi every year to make sure that the child doesn't violate any Visa laws. The same news report also states that they have maintained a good relationship with the girl's biological family throughout the years -- which could probably be a reason why Chris Rock's family hasn't gone through the official process of actually adopting Ntombi.

Even if Rock's family didn't officially adopt the child, they were able to provide her with a nice life in their own home -- and even enrolling her in a school in New Jersey. Little Ntombi mysteriously appeared in the public eye back in 2008, and was dubbed as the "mystery daughter" ever since. Efforts have been made to reach Malaak's lawyer, but no response has been given.
