Kelly Clarkson Opens Up About Her Divorce And New Life

Kelly Clarkson in a black dress

Kelly Clarkson has expressed that she has no regrets about ending her marriage to Brandon Blackstock. The singer, who filed for divorce in June 2020 after seven years of marriage, has been navigating a challenging legal battle with her ex-husband since their split nearly four years ago.

Despite the difficulties of the divorce, a source close to Clarkson shared that she is doing well and is happy with her decision to relocate from Los Angeles to New York. Clarkson has primary custody of their two children, daughter River Rose and son Remington Alexander, and is described as a hands-on and fun mom who prioritizes her kids above all else.

Following a two-year court battle, Clarkson and Blackstock finalized their divorce in March 2022. As part of the settlement, Clarkson was ordered to make a one-time payment of $1.3 million to Blackstock, in addition to monthly spousal and child support payments.

Recently, Clarkson filed a lawsuit against Blackstock and his father's management company, Starstruck Entertainment, alleging violations of California labor laws related to booking business deals on her behalf without proper licensing.

In candid interviews, Clarkson has admitted that she struggled emotionally during the divorce process, acknowledging that she did not handle it gracefully. She revealed that she stayed in the marriage longer than she should have, driven by a desire to avoid feeling like a failure.

Despite the challenges she faced, Clarkson has emerged from the divorce with a sense of resilience and determination to move forward. She has found strength in focusing on her children and her career, emphasizing the importance of self-care and personal growth.

As Clarkson continues to navigate the aftermath of her divorce, she remains committed to her family and her music, embracing the future with optimism and a renewed sense of purpose.
