American rapper Chancelor 'Chance The Rapper' Bennett married childhood sweetheart Kirsten Corley in a private ceremony, according to social media announcements. The artist revealed the news on Wednesday, marking the culmination of a relationship that began in their youth.

Chance proposed to Corley in June 2018, though details about the engagement were not publicly disclosed until his recent social media post. The couple's union was confirmed through the rapper's personal statement about their relationship's origins.

According to the artist, he and Corley first met at a party where his mother was employed. The company where his mother worked was owned by Corley's mother, creating an early connection between the two families. This background was shared as part of the artist's reflection on his personal life.

The rapper's 2015 Grammy-winning year included public acknowledgments of Corley and their then-two-year-old child, Kensil, as sources of support. His 2015 achievements highlighted the role of his family in his career trajectory.
