Chance The Rapper’s wife, Kirsten Corley, has filed for divorce, eight months after they announced their separation. Reports indicate that she filed to end their five-year marriage on Friday. The couple, who married in 2019 in Newport Beach, California, has two daughters, Kensli and Marli. It is unclear if Kirsten is seeking spousal or child support. This filing follows their announcement of an amicable decision to divorce after a period of separation. They emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their daughters and requested privacy during this transition.
Recently, Chance and Kirsten put aside their differences to take their children to meet Olympic champion Simone Biles. Chance shared photos of the meeting on social media, expressing gratitude to Simone for meeting his daughters. Chance and Kirsten have known each other since childhood, began dating in 2013, and welcomed their first daughter in 2015. Despite a brief split in 2016, they reconciled and married in 2019, welcoming their second daughter later that year.
Chance has spoken about his daughters’ understanding of his fame, noting that while they recognize his celebrity status, they remain unimpressed by others. The initial divorce announcement followed a year after Chance was seen in a controversial video during Carnival in Jamaica, leading to mixed reactions from his fans. Some criticized his actions, while others defended his participation in the cultural event.
