Chance the Rapper’s wife officially pulled the plug on their marriage.
Kirsten Corley filed for divorce from the “No Problem” rapper Friday, two weeks before their sixth wedding anniversary, TMZ reported Tuesday.
It is unclear whether Corley is seeking spousal or child support from Chance, whose net worth is an estimated $25 million, as the court documents were not available online.
The estranged couple, both 31, share two daughters: Kensli, 9, and Marli, 5.
Chance, whose real name is Chancelor Bennett, and Corley announced their breakup in April.
“After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “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,” she added. “We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition.”
The couple, who began dating in 2013, secretly tied the knot during a civil ceremony on Dec. 27, 2018. They held a bigger celebration two months later in front of of a star-studded guest list, which included Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Dave Chappelle.
Despite keeping their romance largely out of the public eye, Chance made headlines in April 2023 when he was captured dancing inappropriately with another woman while partying in Jamaica.
In the clip, the Grammy winner stood behind model Mela Millz as she grinded on him and he slapped her butt. He was shirtless, while she was dressed in festive Carnival garb.
Although a rep for the now-estranged couple told TMZ that they were “all good” following the viral moment, Corley’s social media activity painted a different picture.
About a week after the ordeal, the mother of two posted an excerpt about maturity from Maya Angelou’s essay “Home.”
“Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it,” the late poet wrote.
“They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up. Not really. They get older.”
The passage continued, “But to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It means you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It’s serious business.”
Corley added a cryptic message alongside the piece, writing, “I hope one day, we all choose to grow up.”
