Andre Rock is an American businessman and celebrity sibling. He rose to prominence as the brother of famous stand-up comedians Chris Rock and Tony Rock. Both of his siblings are well-known figures in the entertainment industry. Andre’s eldest brother, Chris Rock, is an American stand-up comedian, actor, director, and filmmaker.
Chris became famous for his HBO talk show, “The Chris Rock Show” (1997-2000). In addition, Andre’s other sibling, Tony Rock, is an American actor and stand-up comedian. He is renowned for his portrayal of Uncle Ryan in “Everybody Hates Chris” (2008-2009) and Dirk Black in “All of Us” (2003-2007).
However, Andre Rock chose a different career path, unlike his celebrity brothers. The celebrity sibling leads a private life away from the limelight. Consequently, there has been a lot of curiosity surrounding his age, career, relationship status, and siblings.
Here’s what we know.
How Old Is Andre Rock?
Andre Rock was born in Brooklyn, New York, United States of America, on April 16, 1967. Hence, he is 56 years old. He was born the second son to his parents, Rosalie Rock, a teacher and a social worker, and Julius Rock, a newspaper delivery man and a truck driver.
“Dre,” as his siblings fondly call him, holds American nationality, and he belongs to the Afro-American ethnicity. Chris Rock’s brother grew up with his parents and siblings in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. However, he lost his father, who died of complications from diabetes in 1988.
Is Chris Rock the Oldest Sibling?
Yes, Chris Rock is the oldest of his parent’s children. However, he has an older brother, Charles Ledell Rock, from his father’s previous relationship. Unfortunately, Charles died in Harlem, New York, on February 4, 2006, at 52.
What Does Andre Rock, Chris Rock’s Brother Do?
While his brothers pursued an entertainment career, Andre Rock carved a niche for himself away from the limelight. The renowned stand-up comedian’s sibling is a businessman by profession. He runs the freight hauling business Julius Rock Trucking Inc., named after his late father, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
According to reports, Andre has made a fortune from his trucking company and is an accomplished businessman. However, despite his success as an entrepreneur, Andre is primarily famous as the first sibling of Chris Rock.

Andre Rock is the second-born son of his parent’s seven children. Therefore, he has six siblings. However, besides his full siblings, Andre has a half-sibling, Charles Ledell Rock.
Chris Rock
Chris is his oldest full sibling and most famous sibling. Chris was born in Andrews, South Carolina, on February 7, 1965. He began his journey as a stand-up comedian in New York City’s “Catch a Rising Star” in 1984. However, he first rose to prominence as a cast member of the sketch comedy series “Saturday Night Live” (1990-1993).
Afterward, Chris headlined his first and second HBO comedy specials, “Big Ass Jokes” and “Bring the Pain.” Consequently, he became one of the most commercially successful comedians in the industry and won two Emmy Awards for the special. In September 2005, “Everybody Hates Chris,” a comedy series based on Chris’ life, which he produced and narrated, premiered.
Andre Rock’s oldest sibling has since written, produced, voiced, and directed several other projects. In addition, he has been in the news for several reasons, including when Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars in response to a joke about his wife.
Anthony “Tony” Rock
Andre’s immediate younger brother, Anthony “Tony” Rock, born on June 30, 1974, is the fourth-born son of the Rock clan. He started his career early on, following in his dad’s footsteps, delivering papers and later in his brother’s doing comedy.
Tony got his big break in 2006 with a stint on HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam.” However, in December 2012, NBC News reported that Tony founded the MyRock Foundation in honor of his late father. In addition to his comedy and charity work, Tony has had recurring roles on several TV series, including on his brother’s show “Everybody Hates Chris.”
Brian Rock
Born around 1976, Brian Rock is the fifth Rock sibling. In 2016, Rosalie revealed in an interview that Brian was a minister. Although there is little information about his personal life, he has supported his brothers at public events. In addition, Brian also appeared with his mom and siblings at a New York City afterparty for Chris’ film “Good Hair” in October 2009.
Kenneth “Kenny” Rock
On April 16, 1979, 12 years after Andre Rock was born, Rosalie and Julius welcomed their son Kenneth “Kenny” Rock. Like Chris and Tony, Kenny is an actor with film roles in “Vesuvius” (2018), “Coincidental Killer” (2016) and “Hope a Brooklyn Story” (2014). His Instagram page says he is “the rebellious one of the Rock family.”

Andi stays out of the spotlight. However, she tied the knot with her husband, Brett Nelson, on November 14, 2020, in what she described as a “micro wedding” on Instagram.
Jordan Rock
Andre Rock’s youngest sibling, Jordan Rock, was born on February 10, 1991. Unlike his older siblings, Jordan grew up in Georgetown, South Carolina, after Rosalie moved the family there. Jordan dropped out of high school to pursue comedy like his older brothers. However, he got his breakout role in 2016 on Netflix’s series “Love.”
Is Andre Rock Married?
Due to his cagey lifestyle, whether Andre Rock is single or in a relationship remains a mystery. He maintains a private profile even in the face of his brothers’ fame. Another celebrity sibling with a mysterious love life is Bad Bunny’s brother, Bernie Martínez Ocasio.
