A video of the proposal, which also featured the pair's 2-year-old daughter Kensil Bennett, was circulated on social media.

"She said yes," Chance said on Twitter alongside a chain emoji.

Chance's brother, Taylor Bennett, posted on Twitter a group photo that included himself, the newly engaged couple and another woman posing together. "Proposed In The Hunninds! @chancetherapper You A Real One! 7-4-18 #BlockBoys," Bennett said.

Chance and Corley started dating in 2013 and became parents in September 2015. The pair were briefly separated in May 2016 before reconciling in January 2017.
