Chance and Corley wed in March 2019. The two reportedly exchanged vows during a ceremony held in Newport Beach, California. According to the Chicago Tribune, a marriage certificate shows the couple was married in a civil ceremony in Chicago on Dec. 27, 2018. 

Days before their nuptials, Chance confirmed he and Corley were tying the knot in an X thread about how he met his soon-to-be bride. He said the two met in 2003 when he was 9 at his mother's office party. 

"We were instructed to make way for an exclusive performance by DESTINY's CHILD!!" Chance recalled of a lip-synced performance featuring Corley. "Now I'm locking eyes with the prettiest girl I ever seen in my almost-a-decade of life on earth."

Though he was nudged by his father at the time to show off his dance movies, Chance declined, reasoning: "It's 'cause I knew I was gonna marry that girl. And I ain't wanna jump the gun.

"So I shook my head with anxiety, moved to the back of the crowd and never even introduced myself," he continued. "16 years later it's happening. This (weekend) is the time, and the place is my wedding. I'm gonna dance with my wife because this is my destiny."
