Might be a little late, but useful for the future maybe.
Usually you'd select the open path and hit ctrl/cmd+J to close the path, however what you have is two separate compound shapes so that won't work.
What you can do is draw a path between the gap and then include it in the divide, then you can delete the background separately.
I recorded a quick vid to demonstrate

I tried another solution but yours is the best, thanks so much Commented Sep 9, 2022 at 15:16
Was this an image trace done? on the right side top near the hat there is an unclosed path. after closing that and any other open areas, Pathfinder > Divide should work
