Chance The Rapper, Kirsten Corley Relationship Timeline
Chance and Kirsten have reportedly been dating since 2013. However, they separated back in May of 2016 and got involved in a legal battle.
Kirsten filed a petition asking the court to declare the "Favorite Song" rapper the father of their then 8-month-old daughter and to make him pay for child support. She eventually dropped the case when they reconciled in 2017.
During his acceptance speech after winning Best New Artist at the Grammys last year, he thanked Kirsten and Kensli.
In May, the artist and philanthropist paid tribute to his girl with a heartfelt message on Instagram to celebrate her birthday.
From the beginning beginning to the end end. You are my oldest and best friend. You are responsible for everyone of the most wonderful things in my life. I'm forever grateful that God made me find you, and even more grateful that you made me find God. Forever and ever babe.
