Chance the Rapper Shares “Toughest Part” of Kirsten Corley Divorce

by

Chance the Rapper knows that family is holy. 

The rapper famously known as “No Problem” finds the toughest aspect of his divorce from his former spouse Kirsten Corley, with whom he has daughters Kensli (age 9) and Marli (age 5), is adapting to a changed co-parenting relationship.

Chance made this clear during his interview on the New Rory & Mal podcast on August 14: Everyone handles their family dynamics differently. My family, in particular, is incredibly close-knit and values our bond very highly. This closeness extends to her family as well, so we continue to travel together and maintain a strong connection for life. However, the way we express and uphold this relationship may look different compared to others.

Nevertheless, at the age of 32, he acknowledged that even though the ex-pair – who separated in April 2024 after five years of marriage – manage to spend time together for their children, there are moments when things can feel awkward or strange between them.

Admittedly, Chance acknowledged that it’s not easy. He won’t pretend that everything is smooth sailing or that we just moved on without a second thought. It feels strange, he said. The difficulty lies in the fact that it’s real life – facing and dealing with reality is what’s most challenging.

He went on to say, “You may think you’ve moved past it, but find yourself still affected. Alternatively, you might be accustomed to a particular way of functioning, yet when things don’t follow this pattern, remember to show yourself patience and adapt to the real-world situation.

Chance stressed that he and Kirsten, who are both 32, have managed the transition quite well. In his words, “We always make an effort to recall the significance of standing by one another, showing affection-not only for the wellbeing of our children, but also for maintaining our own mental health.

Indeed, the Grammy award-winning individual – who first encountered Kirsten at age 9 and married the ex-model in 2019 – expressed that they manage to meet about once every fortnight due to their shared children.

He stated that for the remainder of your lives, there will be an emotional bond between you and another person, regardless of circumstances. In essence, it’s as if you overlap significantly in a Venn diagram, being connected to the same entity or experience.

In the end, Chance feels content because he and Kirsten share the same understanding about the kind of relationship they both desire post-breakup.

The rapper known as “Holy” commented, “I’m not claiming we are the most emotionally mature individuals, but we do share a unique perspective that helps prevent us from going too extreme in either direction. And I’m thankful for having someone who shares this quality with me.
