Kelly Clarkson Sues Ex Brandon Blackstock Amid 3-Year Legal Battle

In the midst of their legal dispute over management fees, Kelly and Brandon finalized their divorce in March 2022.

The singer has been candid about the difficulties she faced amid her divorce, especially concerning the former couple’s children, River Rose, 9, and Remington Alexander, 7.

“I don’t want my kids to be those kids at school…when you come down to daddy-daughter dances and you don’t have anyone show up,” she said on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast in June. “You have to think of all those things and I think you play it out differently in your head, too. You try so hard—like, I do not want to do that to her, I don’t want to do that to him—that you start never thinking about yourself.”

However, Kelly ultimately believes she’s now in a better place post-divorce. As she noted to E! News last year, “I’ve lost a bit of me, like in my previous relationship, and I love having her back.”
