Chance the Rapper, the US rapper, and Kirsten Corley, his wife of five years, have announced their divorce.
The embattled couple announced their split in a joint statement on Chance’s Instagram story on Wednesday.
In the statement, Chance and Kirsten expressed gratitude for the time spent together. They said they are committed to co-parenting their two daughters.
The pair also pleaded for privacy to navigate the new phase of their lives.
“After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways,” the statement reads.
“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.”
The pair’s paths first crossed when Chance was just nine years old.
They began dating as adults in 2013, and welcomed Kensil, their first child together, in 2015.
Chance and Kirsten broke up in 2016 but reconciled in 2018.
They tied the knot in March 2019.
The wedding inspired Chance’s 2019 album ‘The Big Day’. Most of the songs were about his wife and children.
In ‘Zanies and Fools’, a track off the album, the rapper referenced the day he first saw his wife, when she was performing a song as a precocious 9-year-old.
The couple welcomed Marli, their second daughter, in September 2019.
