“It’s Official”: Chance the Rapper’s wife files for divorce ahead of 6th wedding anniversary

Chance the Rapper’s marriage to Kirsten Corley has officially come to an end. Just two weeks before what would have been their sixth wedding anniversary, Corley filed for divorce on Friday, December 15, marking the conclusion of a relationship that spanned over a decade, TMZ reported on Tuesday, December 17.

The filing follows their announcement eight months earlier, in April 2023, when the couple revealed their separation through a joint Instagram statement. At the time, they described their split as “amicable” and emphasized their dedication to their children.

“God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together,” the statement read. The former couple also asked for privacy as they navigated the transition.

Chance, 30, and Corley, 30, married in 2018 after years of dating. They first held a civil ceremony, followed by a lavish, star-studded celebration attended by friends and family. Together, they share two daughters, Kensli, 9, and Marli, 5.

While child support arrangements were not specified in the divorce filing, the pair have publicly committed to co-parenting their children. Despite keeping much of their relationship private, cracks in their marriage became visible earlier this year.

In April 2023, a viral video surfaced showing Chance dancing provocatively with model Mela Millz during Jamaica’s Carnival. The footage stirred controversy and speculation about the state of the couple’s relationship.

At the time, a representative claimed the couple was “all good,” but Corley’s subsequent social media activity seemed to suggest otherwise. Days after the video went viral, Corley shared a reflective passage from Maya Angelou’s Home essay on Instagram, which spoke about growth and maturity—prompting further speculation about their marriage.

Corley’s decision to file for divorce confirms the couple’s separation has reached its final chapter. While their marriage may be over, both Chance and Corley have made it clear that their priority remains raising their daughters together in a positive and loving environment.

With over a decade of history together, the split marks a bittersweet conclusion for the pair, whose love story began long before Chance’s rise to fame.
