Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley have officially ended their marriage, finalizing their divorce just weeks after filing. Legal documents filed in Cook County, Illinois, confirm that the former couple reached a settlement they both consider “fair and equitable.” While specific details of the agreement remain private, Kirsten expressed satisfaction with the resolution.
The divorce filing, initiated by Kirsten, cited that their marriage was “irretrievably broken” and revealed the couple had been living separately for over six months.
A Relationship That Spanned Decades
Chance and Kirsten’s journey began long before their romantic relationship. The pair had known each other since childhood, reconnecting in 2012 at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. By 2013, they had started dating, and their first daughter, Kensli, was born in 2015.
Their engagement came in 2018, during a memorable Fourth of July celebration when Chance proposed at a family barbecue. A year later, they tied the knot in an elegant ceremony at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California, and welcomed their second daughter, Marli, that same year.
Amicable Separation
The couple initially announced their separation in April 2024 through a joint statement. “After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision 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,” the statement read.
They also requested privacy as they navigated their transition from married life to co-parenting.
Moving Forward
Chance and Kirsten were married for five years, but their history as a couple spans over a decade. While their marriage has come to an end, they remain committed to co-parenting their two daughters, Kensli and Marli.
As they embark on this new chapter, we extend our best wishes to both Chance and Kirsten as they continue to prioritize their family and personal growth.
