Chance the Rapper, whose real name is Chancelor Bennett, and Kirsten Corley have publicly announced their decision to divorce following a period of separation. The couple, who tied the knot in March 2019, shared a joint statement on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the time they spent together and emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting their two daughters, Kensli Bennett and Marli Grace Bennett.
Their relationship history traces back to childhood, with Chance recalling meeting Corley at his mother's office party when he was just 9 years old. The rapper proposed to Corley on July 4, 2018, before they exchanged vows in Newport Beach, California.
While the exact timing of their separation and divorce proceedings remains unclear, previous reports suggested that their marriage encountered challenges. In April 2023, videos surfaced showing Chance the Rapper in a controversial situation during his 30th birthday celebration in Jamaica. Although a representative for the Grammy winner acknowledged the drama surrounding the marriage, they emphasized that every couple goes through their moments.
Despite the public scrutiny and challenges they faced, Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley have requested privacy and respect as they navigate this transition.
