Although Chance The Rapper and Kirsten Corley only married in 2019, they actually met when Chance was only nine years old. In 2003, he took to X, then known as Twitter, to describe how they met when he went to an office party where his mum worked.
Chance The Rapper wrote: “I was probably playing a Gameboy in a corner or eating candy, initially unimpressed by my surroundings,” he wrote of the night, but then something impressive happened: Three girls, “all a little bit older than me,” lip-synced and danced to Destiny’s Child’s “Independent Women, Part 1,” “conquering this choreography and mastering the art of lip-syncing in a way even the most professional performers have yet to accomplish.”
One of the three was “the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen in my almost-a-decade of life on earth. And I promise I can feel how I felt as I type this. I felt that sh** lol.”

It’s cause I knew I was gonna marry that girl. And I ain’t wanna jump the gun.”
