Kirsten Corley, Chance the Rapper's wife for almost six years and the mother of his two daughters, has filed for divorce.
The Dec. 13 filing in the Circuit Court of Cook County comes about eight months after the couple released a statement saying they had reached an amicable decision to part ways. In that statement posted to Chance’s instagram account in April, the couple noted: "After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways" and that "we came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together."
In the new court documents, Corley cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for seeking a divorce.
The couple signed a premarital agreement in 2018, although the specifics of that agreement aren't outlined in the divorce papers. Corley and Chance currently live separately in Chicago, according to the filing.
According to the divorce documents reviewed by the Sun-Times, Corley is seeking child support, "majority parenting time" and an "equitable share of their marital property."
Chance and Corley wed in March 2019. The two exchanged vows during a ceremony held in Newport Beach, California, before a crowd that included comedian Dave Chappelle, rapper Ye (then called Kanye West) and his then-wife, Kim Kardashian West.
Days before their nuptials, Chance confirmed he and Corley were tying the knot in an X thread about how he met his soon-to-be bride. He said the two met in 2003 when he was 9 at his mother’s office party.
