In an announcement that has captured the attention of fans and followers around the globe, acclaimed rap artist Chance The Rapper and wife Kirsten Corley have declared the end of their five-year marital journey. This revelation came through a united statement shared on social media, disclosing that they have been living apart for the last two years. Despite their separation, the commitment to jointly raise their two daughters, Kensli and Marli, remains strong and unwavering.
This duo, whose acquaintance dates back to their childhood, began their romantic saga in 2013, welcoming their first child, Kensli, in 2015. After a brief pause in their relationship in 2016, they found their way back to each other, culminating in their marriage in 2019. That same year marked the arrival of Marli, enriching their family further.
In their shared statement, Chance and Kirsten expressed, “Following a period of thoughtful separation, we have decided to part ways. This decision was reached mutually and with profound gratitude for the shared moments. We are blessed with two wonderful daughters, who we will continue to parent together.”
In the wake of Marli’s birth, Chance took a significant step back from his music career. He postponed the tour for his debut studio album ‘The Big Day’, choosing instead to dedicate more time to his family, showcasing the importance he places on his personal life over professional commitments.
The couple has requested privacy and respect as they navigate through this period of transition. “We ask for privacy and respect during this time of change. Thank you,” they concluded in their message.
The separation of Chance and Kirsten is not just a pivotal moment in their personal lives but also resonates deeply with their supporters. They have vowed to foster a nurturing environment for their daughters, reflecting their enduring respect and care for each other beyond the confines of marriage.
