In a surprising turn of events, Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley have announced their decision to divorce, marking the end of a legendary hip-hop romance. The couple, who tied the knot in 2019, took to their social media accounts to share a heartfelt joint statement, revealing that they have mutually agreed to part ways after a period of separation.
"We have made the difficult decision to go our separate ways, but we do so with love and gratitude for the time we have spent together," they wrote in the statement. "Our priority remains our two beautiful daughters, whom we will continue to co-parent with love and respect. We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter in our lives."
Chance and Kirsten are the proud parents of Kensli, 7, and Marli, 4, and have expressed their commitment to raising their children together despite the end of their romantic relationship.
The news of their divorce comes as a shock to many, as Chance had previously spoken about his deep connection with Kirsten. In a tweet from 2019, he reminisced about the moment he first laid eyes on her, revealing that they had met when he was just nine years old.
The rapper recalled attending an office party with his family in 2003, where a young Kirsten had caught his eye as she performed a Destiny's Child song with her friends. Despite his father's encouragement to join the performance, Chance was too shy to introduce himself and instead watched from afar.
Fast forward 16 years, and Chance found himself preparing to marry the girl of his dreams. He shared his excitement for their wedding day, describing it as the culmination of their destiny. "This weekend is the time, and the place is my wedding," he wrote. "I'm gonna dance with my wife because this is my destiny."
While the news of their divorce may come as a surprise to fans, Chance and Kirsten have assured that their decision was made amicably and with the best interests of their family in mind. As they embark on this new chapter in their lives, they ask for understanding and respect from the public.
