Sadly, one of The Voice coaches is currently facing divorce. Undeniably, separation can take its toll on anyone, but having a highly visible life adds even more pressure. However, after five years, one coach is mutually parting ways with their spouse.

Til Death Do Us Part

While vowing to stay together forever is a pretty common exchange at a wedding, unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. After giving marriage a five-year shot, The Voice coach Chance the Rapper and his wife, Kirsten Corley, are moving forward with divorce. On Wednesday, April 3, Chance and Kirsten took to Instagram to inform the public. Saying, “After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways.” Furthermore, their joint Instagram Stories state, “We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the same time we spent together.”

Chance Knew Their Marriage Was His Destiny

Although the marriage between The Voice coach and musician, Chance The Rapper, is ending, he has many good memories. Previously, Chance discusses meeting Kirsten Corley when they were kids. Correspondingly, he remembers he was just 9 years old. Specifically, the duo met in 2003 while attending one of his mom’s real estate work parties. Furthermore, he tweeted in March 2019 some of his fond memories. First, he recalls, “locking eyes with the prettiest girl I ever seen in my almost-a-decade of life on earth.” She was performing a Destiny’s Child song with her friends as entertainment for the party.

But Chance also says, “I really shouldn’t even say locked eyes cause really, I was just staring at her; as she and her girls were conquering this choreography and mastering the art of lip-synching in a way even the most professional performers have yet to accomplish.” Good luck to both Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley as they hold on to the good times and continue forward.

Tune In For The Voice

He rejoined the show saying, “I really love doing the show for a lot of reasons, and I think one of them is just the creative outlet that you get in collaborating with Artists, on re-imagining songs with The Voice band, which is one of the greatest bands and always has the greatest players on TV.” Notably, from April 1 to April 29, The Voice Season 25 will only air once a week. It is on Mondays at 8/7c with the Knockouts and then the Playoffs. Then, the Live Shows will begin on May 6.

  2. Sorry to read about Chance’s and Kristin’s divorce. I have been there and even an amicable one can feel like it rips your heart out of your chest because you are letting go of so much. I have actually found spending time with my ex has been the best cure to the heartache. Maybe we can’t live together and we can still go to dinner with friends and family and have a gift for keeping everyone laughing. Feels good to still have some parts of our friendship that work. I wouldn’t want to just never talk again or only have bad feelings. Best of luck to them both.

    1. What is up with our weak-minded, self-centered, cheating behind men out here?! WHY can’t they commit themselves 100% to their marriage…their family??! This breach of contract is NOT just affecting a wife and her husband, but their children too! Marriage and kid’s are NOT a joke or a toy you can just put back on the shelf when you are done playing with it! I have NO respect for men that do NOT honor their wife nor their vows! STOP letting
      outside women, drug’s, money, and your over excessive hour’s at work destroy your marriage! GOD is watching everything that you do! 👀

      1. While some of the assumptions may be true, I think the worst part of a failing marriage is the intrusion from the public who do not know either party or what occurred. Second guessing what may be the cause of a failed marriage is not helpful. Being in the public eye as an entertainer, does not give the public the freedom to discuss the entertainers personal life. They’re strangers to you. That intrusion certainly cannot be helpful to their marriage but also adds unnecessary stress and tension. Work on your own life and marriage. I wish them
        (& you) the best.
