Chance The Rapper's marriage to his ex-wife Kirsten Corley is essentially over after the former couple finalized their divorce.
According to a report TMZ published on Thursday, January 9, Chano and Corley filed paperwork to inform the courts in Cook County, Ill. they've reached a settlement that will put an end to their five-year marriage. Both parties have reportedly reviewed the terms of their agreement and approved it. However, they are still waiting on a judge to sign off on the settlement. As of press time, the details of their settlement have not been revealed.
Chance The Rapper and Kirsten Corley have known each other since they were kids but officially started dating in 2013. During the course of their relationship, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Kensli, in 2015 and separated a year later. They eventually reconciled and got engaged in July 2018. In her paperwork, Corley indicated that she married the "No Problem" rapper in December 2018. The couple celebrated their marriage in March 2019 at a lavish ceremony in Newport Beach, Calif. They welcomed their second daughter Marli later that year.
The couple formally announced they split up last April. At the time, they told fans they parted ways "amicably" and were grateful for the time they spent together. Corley took the next step in dissolving their marriage when she filed divorce papers last month.
"After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways," they said in a statement. "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. We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition. Thank you."
Neither Chance nor Kirsten have publicly commented on their split.
