Kelly Clarkson and husband Brandon Blackstock 'clashed on so many levels' before split

Kelly Clarkson and her husband Brandon Blackstock's split came as a huge shock to her fans, but it's claimed the couple "clashed on so many levels" before calling it a day.

The Because of You singer, 38, and her ex reportedly fell out over their move from Nashville to Hollywood.

She had launched her own talk show as well as being a coach on The Voice, which kept her very busy.

Kelly filed for divorce to end her nearly seven-year marriage to the talent manager, 43, on June 4, citing irreconcilable differences.

"When she went to Hollywood, it changed things," a source told Us Weekly.

Brandon is said to "prefer their quiet life in Nashville".

The insider added: "They clashed on so many levels, and being in quarantine together heightened their problems to the point of no return."

They continued: "Everyone thought Kelly and Brandon had the perfect marriage, but they definitely didn't.

"Brandon's very laid-back, whereas Kelly's pretty high-strung.”

Mirror Online has contacted Kelly's reps for comment.

She also reportedly wants their pre-nup enforced in the split.
