Chanel McFarlane Secures Her First Solo Home After Mustard’s Divorce Filing

Things don’t seem to have improved between Chanel McFarlane and Mustard. More than a month after Mustard filed for divorce, the mother of three is seemingly leaving the family home behind. Instead, Chanel has opted to secure her first spot and keep it pushing!

“New chapter, stepping into my blessings,” Chanel wrote on Instagram Story. “This is the first time I have my own spot y’all.”

The post was a house key attached to a ring and coiled stretch band. This is the second time Chanel has broken her silence following Mustard’s divorce filing.

“Thank you for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. Anyone that followed me or knows me personally knows my family means the world to me,” Chanel wrote following the divorce news. “I’ve dedicated 12 loyal years and it is more than heartbreaking to see things end.”

In the paperwork, Mustard listed the exact date for the separation and the day of filing. He cited “irreconcilable differences” in the paperwork. However, he later took to social media to clear Chanel’s name amid infidelity rumors.

“It’s one thing to have my family business on the internet and of course, I initially didn’t respond cause I don’t owe the public no explanation but I do owe my family to clear these false narrative[s] that @ChanelDijon cheated that’s out and never happened,” Mustard wrote on IG Story.

Mustard also shut down rumors that infidelity happened on his end. He denied a circulating story about sleeping with his stylist. He wrote, “I’d never touch that girl ever.”

The former couple was together for about 12 years but tied the knot only in 2020. This means their divorce comes only after a year-and-a-half. They share three children–Kiylan, Kauner, and Kody.

It’s unclear if the divorce has been finalized, but that one thing about it, Chanel has existed left–for now!
