Chance The Rapper and his now-ex-wife Kirsten Corley have officially finalized their divorce settlement, marking the end of their five-year marriage and 14 years together.
According to Billboard, court documents filed in Cook County, Illinois, last week and obtained on Thursday, January 9, the couple informed the court they had reached an agreement regarding their divorce. Corley acknowledged the settlement as a fair and equitable resolution. However, the agreement is pending official approval from a judge.
Corley initially filed for divorce in December, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had previously announced their separation in the spring, emphasizing their mutual decision to part ways amicably. They expressed gratitude for their time together and pledged to co-parent their two daughters, Kensli and Marli, with love and cooperation.
The pair tied the knot in 2019 in a picturesque ceremony at the Pelican Hill resort in Newport Beach, California. Surrounded by 150 family members and friends, the couple celebrated their union after nearly a decade of being together.
Despite their public displays of affection and family-focused image, the marriage faced challenges that became fodder for social media discussions. In 2022, Chance The Rapper made headlines after interacting with explicit online content, sparking rumors and backlash. Corley defended him at the time, addressing critics and downplaying the incident.
