“We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together,” the statement continued. They emphasised their commitment to co-parenting their two daughters, Kensli and Marli, stating, “God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together.” The note, signed Chance & Kirsten, concluded with a request for privacy and respect as they navigate this transition.

This announcement follows speculation among fans nearly a year ago about potential marital challenges between the rapper, whose real name is Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, and the influencer.

Incidents such as footage surfacing from Chance’s 30th birthday celebration in Jamaica, where he was seen dancing with another woman, sparked rumours. Corley’s Instagram post featuring a Maya Angelou quote about personal growth further fueled speculation.

The couple welcomed their second daughter, Marli Grace, shortly after their wedding. While they maintained privacy about their marriage, Chance and Corley occasionally shared glimpses of their relationship on social media and in interviews. 

Chance expressed gratitude for his family in interviews, highlighting the joy of raising children with Corley and the blessings of their shared life.
