Chance The Rapper and his now, ex-wife have officially parted ways. Kirsten Corley has filed for a divorce from the Chicago rapper 8 months after they announced the split. The two went to social media to clear the air on the divorce saying, “After a period of separation, the two of us have decided to part ways. We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together. We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition.”
Chance the Rapper (born Chancelor Bennett) and Kirsten Corley’s love story has been a long and public journey, filled with ups and downs. The couple first met when they were teenagers, at one of Chano’s mother’s office parties when they were both about 9 years old. Their early relationship started as friends, but romance blossomed years later. In 2019, Chance and Kirsten tied the knot and the two became a well-known couple in Chicago’s music scene. Last year fans were calling out Chance the Rapper after a video surfaced of him dancing with another woman at Carnival 2023 in Jamaica. The rapper, who was married with two kids, was seen getting a little too close to model Mela Millz during the event. In the video posted on IG, Millz can be seen whinding on Chance while he leans back and dances on her.
The video quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions from fans and bloggers, many of whom felt his behavior was inappropriate given his family situation. Some people online defended him, saying it was just a moment of fun, but others weren’t having it, calling out his actions as disrespectful.
