SPLITSVILLE! #ChanceTheRapper’s wife #KirstenCorley FILES for DIVORCE! [details]

It looks like its SPLITS VILLE for another celebrity couple!

Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley are going their separate ways.

On Friday, Dec. 13, Corley officially filed for divorce from the 31-year-old rapper, according to online court records viewed by PEOPLE. The filing comes eight months after the pair revealed in a joint statement that they had split.

“After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways,” wrote the hip-hop star and his wife on Instagram in April. “We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together.”

Chance and Corley share daughters Kensli, 9, and Marli, 5, though the court filing did not indicate if Corley was seeking child support in the divorce. In the estranged couple’s April statement, they wrote that they planned to co-parent their young children: “God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together.”

Chance — whose real name is Chancelor Bennett — first met his future wife at an office party with his mom at only 9 years old. The pair reconnected at the South by Southwest film festival in 2012, and started dating not long after.
