Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley, one of hip-hop’s most beloved couples, have decided to part ways. In a heartfelt joint statement shared on social media, the couple announced their divorce, emphasizing the mutual respect and gratitude they hold for the years they’ve spent together. Married since 2019, the duo has been blessed with two daughters, Kensli, 7, and Marli, 4, whom they pledge to continue co-parenting with love and cooperation.
The couple’s journey began in a fairy-tale manner. Chance, real name Chancelor Bennett, recounted how a 9-year-old him was mesmerized by Kirsten as she performed a Destiny’s Child song at a realty company party. Despite the instant connection he felt, his shyness prevented him from making a move, a moment he vividly remembered even 16 years later as they prepared to wed.
As they navigate this new chapter of their lives, Chance and Kirsten request privacy and respect. Their story, from a childhood crush to a family of four, has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. As they part ways, they do so with a sense of gratitude for the journey they’ve shared and a commitment to their daughters’ well-being and happiness.
