In surprising news, Chante Moore recently made a “private announcement” via her Facebook page that her and husband of nine years Kenny Lattimore are divorced. Wanting to break the news before the story gets twisted in the media, Moore was brief in her message about the split.
“There are moments that change your life forever. I’ve NEVER been one to share the details of my personal life in the media. This moment will be an exception,” Moore writes. “I would much rather my fans hear this sensitive information directly from me, than some random inaccurate media source. My Ex-husband Kenny Lattimore and I are Divorced. We both will continue to be devoted parents to our son. Keep us all in your prayers!”
The R&B singing couple wed on New Year’s Day in 2002 at a private ceremony in Jamaica. Their son Kenny, Jr. was born the following year. They released two duet albums including ‘Things That Lovers Do,’ which spawned the hit single “You Don’t Have To Cry” and ‘Uncovered/Covered.’
After more than 20 years of marriage, R&B stars Chante Moore and Kenny Lattimore have announced their divorce. The two were considered a power couple in the music industry and had become staples on the gospel circuit. Fans everywhere are saddened by this news, but what led to this heartbreaking decision?
In recent months, rumors began swirling that there was trouble in paradise for the beloved duo. But until now, neither star had confirmed anything publicly. That changed when Chante took to Instagram recently to break her silence and confirm that she and Kenny are no longer together as husband and wife.
The announcement has left fans stunned, with many wondering why such an iconic pair would decide to part ways after so many years. In light of these developments, we take a look at what could have caused the end of one of contemporary gospel’s most beloved partnerships.
Background Of The Couple
Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore first met in the late 90s, when Kenny was on tour for his debut album. They quickly fell in love and married in 2002, going on to start a family together. As the years went by, they both enjoyed successful careers as singers and songwriters, releasing multiple albums each. Although it once seemed like a fairytale romance come true, things eventually started to unravel between them.
In 2019, reports emerged that Chante had filed for divorce from Kenny after almost 17 years of marriage. Though neither party has publicly commented on the news yet, sources close to them have stated that the couple had been having issues since 2018 due to their hectic work schedules conflicting with their personal life. The split came as an unfortunate surprise to many fans who believed the couple could make it through anything.
The divorce was recently made official when court documents were released confirming its completion. This marks an end to one of R&B’s most beloved couples – though hopefully not an end to their musical collaborations!
Recent Developments

The news was met with shock and sadness among many fans who longed for a reconciliation between the couple. Despite this, both parties have been amicably handling their separation so far; sources say there is no animosity or bad blood between them and that they are committed to staying friendly as co-parents of their two children.
It’s clear now that Kenny and Chante’s storybook romance has drawn to a close – though it won’t be forgotten any time soon. While we may not know what lies ahead for these two beloved artists, one thing is certain: their music will always live on and remind us all of when they were happy together.
Conclusion
I. Summary of the Divorce
It has been confirmed that Chante Moore and Kenny Lattimore are divorcing after almost two decades of marriage. The pair had a long history together, as they first started dating in 1997 before tying the knot in 2002. Their union produced one child, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to keep them together.
II. Reflection on their Relationship
It’s hard to see any couple break up, especially when both partners seemed very committed for so many years. Looking back at their time together, you can’t help but wonder what went wrong and why things didn’t work out between them despite all the love they shared over the years. It just goes to show how unpredictable relationships can be sometimes no matter how strong your connection is with someone else.
III. Hope for the Future
Although this divorce is heartbreaking news for fans of Chante and Kenny, I hope that both parties find peace in their new paths ahead. We should remember that even though we may not understand why some couples part ways, everyone deserves a chance at happiness and love regardless of what happened in the past.
