Chance The Rapper’s Estranged Wife Files for Divorce
Kirsten Corley, wife of the Grammy-winning artist Chance The Rapper, has officially filed for divorce, marking the end of their five-year marriage. The filing, made on December 13, comes eight months after the couple’s joint announcement of their separation. What went wrong in this high-profile relationship? Let’s dive in.
From Love to Legal Separation
Kirsten and Chance started dating in 2013 and tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in 2019. Despite their glamorous beginnings, the couple’s journey has been far from smooth. In their April 2024 separation announcement, the two emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their daughters, Kensli and Marli.
“After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways amicably,” the couple shared on Instagram. “God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together.”
Infidelity Rumors and Public Scrutiny
Speculation about their relationship troubles heightened after a controversial video from Chance’s 30th birthday in 2023 went viral. The clip showed the rapper engaging in a provocative dance at Jamaica’s Carnival, sparking infidelity rumors. While Chance’s representatives dismissed the allegations, Kirsten’s cryptic Instagram post hinted at deeper issues.
“Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult,” Kirsten shared, quoting Maya Angelou. “They honor their credit cards, find parking spaces, and have the nerve to have children but don’t grow up.”
A Relationship Marked by Ups and Downs
This isn’t the first time their relationship has faced challenges. In 2016, shortly after the birth of their first daughter, Kirsten sought legal recognition of Chance as Kensli’s father and requested child support. The couple reconciled shortly after but hit another rough patch in 2017 before ultimately getting married in 2019.
What’s Next for the Couple?
Details of Kirsten’s divorce filing remain private, including whether she cited “irreconcilable differences” or is seeking spousal support. The couple’s commitment to co-parenting remains steadfast, but it’s unclear how custody arrangements will unfold.
Fans React to the News
The news has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some fans expressing sadness and others revisiting the controversies that plagued their marriage. Many are curious about how the split will impact Chance’s music and public image.
For now, both Kirsten and Chance appear focused on moving forward. While their love story has officially ended, their shared commitment to their children ensures they will remain connected.
