The two first announced their separation in April of last year. “After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways,” they wrote on Instagram at the time. “We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together.” Corley cited irreconcilable differences in her divorce filing.

In other news, Chance recently shared a snippet of a new song with his long-time collaborator, Vic Mensa. On the heartfelt song, Chance raps: "It's 100 bags under the underpass / rumbling stomaches / cups jingle when humans pass / brisket winds, summer's done / winter is coming fast / then they Zoom teacher wonder why they don't come to class." Chance and Mensa didn't provide further details on when fans could expect the full song to release.
