Chance the Rapper And Kirsten Corley Announce Their Divorce Following A Five-Year Union

American rapper, Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley have pulled the plug in their marriage.

The hip-hop artist and his wife made an amicable divorce announcement on Tuesday. In a joint statement posted to Instagram, the ex-couple disclosed that they had gone through “a period of separation” in secret and had now “arrived at the decision to part ways.”

The couple, who have two daughters, Marli, 4, and Kensli, 7, also mentioned that coparenting is still their top priority both now and in the future. Almost a year after fans began to believe that the rapper and the influencer were having marital problems, the announcement was made.

After a viral video of Chance dancing with a different woman appeared at his 30th birthday celebration during Carnival in Jamaica in April of last year, Corley posted a Maya Angelou quote on Instagram about people’s difficulties growing up.

In March of 2019, the businesswoman and Grammy winner tied the knot. The two had known each other since they were young, but it wasn’t until they reconnected in 2012 at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, that they could truly connect.

When they returned to their hometown of Chicago, their reunion sparked a spark, and they soon started dating. The couple started dating six years later, became engaged, and were joined in marriage the following year in a ceremony held in Newport Beach, California.
