Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley Bennett File for Divorce After Nearly Four Years of Marriage
Kirsten Corley Bennett has filed for divorce from her husband, Chance the Rapper (Chancelor Bennett), eight months after announcing their separation. The legal filing took place on Friday in Cook County, Illinois, and follows the couple’s public split in April. At the time, Chance the Rapper and Corley shared a joint statement via Chance’s Instagram Stories, describing their separation as amicable and expressing gratitude for their time together. They also emphasized their ongoing commitment to co-parenting their two daughters, 9-year-old Kensli and 5-year-old Marli Grace.
Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley tied the knot in a civil ceremony in Chicago on December 27, 2018. They later held a grand wedding in March 2019 at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California, with a star-studded guest list including Kim Kardashian, Kanye “Ye” West, Dave Chappelle, and Kirk Franklin, who performed at the ceremony. Their relationship began nearly two decades ago in 2003 when they first met as children at an office party for Chance’s mother. Chance the Rapper fondly recalled the moment on social media, describing it as love at first sight when he saw Corley perform a lip-sync routine to Destiny’s Child.
Despite the end of their nearly four-year marriage, the couple has remained focused on raising their daughters together. Although they’ve faced their share of public challenges, Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley continue to prioritize their children’s well-being. Their relationship, marked by public milestones and private moments, now transitions into co-parenting as they both move forward into a new chapter of their lives.
