Chance The Rapper & Kirsten’s Love Story
Chance and his former wife were married for almost six years. They tied the knot in December 2018 but have known each other since age nine and began dating in 2013. They parted ways briefly in 2016 but reconciled in 2017 and got engaged the following year, per Entertainment Tonight.
The couple had spent about six months apart by the time of the divorce. TMZ reported on January 9 that the ex-couple filed their settlement agreement in Cook County, Illinois, earlier this month. While Chance and Kirsten Corley have agreed to settle, they’re reportedly still awaiting the judge’s signature.

The rapper and Kirsten previously communicated that they plan to continue co-parenting their “beautiful daughters,” Kensli and Marli. They also said they separated “amicably and with gratitude” for their time together.
