According to Chance, they had separated long before this. The public didn’t know, though, so when a video circulated of him dancing with another woman at Carnival, many fans were shocked.

<p id=”par-2_43″>In 2023, a viral video showed Chance dancing with a woman at Carnival. Many people pointed out the fact that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/chance-the-rapper-was-encouraged-by-offset-to-get-married.html/”>he was married</a> in the comments. While he said <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/chance-the-rapper-thought-saved-marriage-divorce.html/”>he and Corley had separated</a> at that point, he felt bad about the video.</p>
<p id=”par-3_51″>“Here’s the truth,” he said on the <em><a href=”https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-rory-mal/id1572182022″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>New Rory & Mal</a></em> podcast. “Regardless, I was tripping. I think I was tripping because nobody knew that me and my wife were separated. Whether she your BM [baby mama], your wife, your girlfriend, your best friend — don’t let your lady look stupid.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_19″>He said that media outlets began reaching out to him, and he immediately regretted “putting our business out there.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_59″>“[T]he truth is, like I said, don’t have anybody looking stupid. I went out there for fun,” he said. “I think, at the end of the day, I do wish that that s*** didn’t happen that way and I wish that I was protective of her. But I think it’s, you know, it’s in the past. That’s the reality.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_29″>Chance said that for the sake of both their families, he and Corley have worked hard to maintain a good relationship. They even vacation together with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/who-is-chance-the-rappers-wife-and-how-many-kids-do-they-have.html/”>their two daughters</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-10_54″>“The reality of it is everybody deals with their family different. The family I come from is very, very close,” he said. “It’s very important for us and for her and her family for us to be tight. So we still travel together, we still family forever. It’s just a different format of it.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_18″>While he admitted this wasn’t always easy, it is important to him that Corley remains in his life.</p>
<p id=”par-12_83″>“We try and always remember the importance of supporting each other, loving each other. Not just for the sake of our kids, but for the sake of each other’s sanity,” he said. “For the fact that we have respect for each other… We all still go to the same places. I see her at least every other week… I know people that they do not even recognize that their [baby mama] or [baby daddy] is alive. And that’s just not how we move.”</p>
