TO MY FANS

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.

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! ~Chante’

I hate to hear that.

How old is her daughter with Kadeem Hardison?

They seemed like the happiest couple in the world besides Will & Jada... I wonder what happened? Hmmmmm! I mean I can speculate. But i would never do that here.

According to Wiki, she was born in 96, so that would mean she is around 15 years old.

Speculate! I always thought kenny was gay

I'm sure it was tough with them being in the music business and always on the road. I wish them both the best.

One of my favorite black couples. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Too bad.

I doubt it.

Damn and they seemed to be so happy together. Just another case of everything ain't what it seems. All those glitters must not be gold.

Sometimes you never know.

Wow. That's sad.

Oh well. Sometimes shit just don't work out.

!!!!!!!!!!

She probably caught him with another man and got the hell out but as long as everyone is happy. I feel sorry for the kid cuz he shouldn't have to live in a broken home.

The speculation has been that he is of the 'other persuasion'. she's another underated singer. It's a shame that her career went nowhere.

So sad

They made a nice duet too... Those notes at the 6:10 mark are just beautiful.

Kenny is beyond gay! There is one interview on youtube where he and Chante are being interviewed by some hot guy and you can see the lust in his eyes. It's ridiculous! And then he glances down and looks at the guy's crotch. But some Christian men come across as gay because they are obsessed/in love with Jesus and He is all they ever think about. It could be that too.

MCA didnt know what to do with her after the first two projects imho are amazing.

Then they decided to hook her up with Jermaine Dupri and her career went south. The sex kitten act didnt work for her.

Amen with the whole JD route they took. She went from George Duke to JD They really didn't know what to do with her. She was young but they marketed her for an older audience with her debut. It was as if they eventually said, "now we need to market her to a younger audience, let's call Jermaine!" Wrong Move! I still love her voice.

I remember Donnie Simpson interviewing her on Video Soul back when "Love's Taken Over" was big. I left the dinner table at my mom's house and ever so slightly jogged closer to the television to get a better look at her.

Its sad what happen to her....

I agree,her first two albums are excellent It was a sophisticated,soulful sound.She was on the right path until they tried to turn her into a hip-hop sex kitten,pairing her with Jermaine Dupri.

Its too bad about their marriage.

Chante is one of my favorite singers but some of the material she was given was so below her talent. She has incredible range and I have always wanted her to get with the "right" producer for once. I saw her live some years ago and her show was very good.

I was never a fan of when her and Kenny were doing their duets together. It was like we are both singers so we "have" to work together. It seemed so forced. I also see that Swizz Beatz has his wife Alicia Keys on one of his new songs. I am not feeling that either. Even if a couple is in the same business that 24/7 365 thing can get old in a hurry.

I hope Chante and Kenny find love again. Chante seems like a cool chick.

kool, what do you mean chante was "auctioned" off as a kept woman? How do you know this?

It was in an interview Chante did a few years ago, when she first married Kenny. She was very revealing in it. Sometimes when u are saved U reveal things U regret U did in your past.

Chante was always very beautiful. She said herself that she got involved with an older man with money, when she was underage. Her parents actually pushed her into it, which she later regretted . It was real deep & sad. She said she gave up her virginity much too soon & blamed her parents for it. Because she knew she wasn't ready yet, but was trying to please him.

There are other stuff I know about her. But the only reason I said this is because she herself revealed it in an interview.

I always wanted to get into her work.... thanks I'll stick to her first 2 since Wey U & Love Taken Over are my favorites from her.

Straight Up was the jam back in 2000 despite what yall say
