Chance the Rapper heightened the excitement around his Fourth of July BBQ by proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Kristen Corley.
On Wednesday (July 4), footage of the backyard proposal appeared on @TheShadeRoom afront several friends and family. "Kirsten Katrina Corley, will you make me a man and be my wife?" the 25-year-old rapper said on bended knee. Chance and Corley, who have been dating on and off since 2013, could be seen hugging their 2-year-old daughter, Kensli Bennett, at the end of the clip. Chance the Rapper's older brother, Taylor Bennett, also shared a photo of the newly engaged pair on his Instagram, writing, "Proposed In The Hunninds! @chancetherapper You A Real One! 7-4-18 #BlockBoy."
After the big backyard moment, which has nabbed more than 426,000 likes on @theshaderoom's post, the hip-hop titan took to Twitter to confirm the engagement, writing, "She said yes."
Back in May, Chance declared his love for Corley with a sweet Instagram post in honor of her birthday. "From the beginning beginning to the end end. You are my oldest and best friend," he wrote in the caption. "You are responsible for everyone of the most wonderful things in my life. I'm forever grateful that God made me find you, and even more grateful that you made me find God. Forever and ever babe. Happy Birthday."
