The Emotional Impact of Kelly Clarkson’s Divorce from Brandon Blackstock: A Discourse on the Overnight Nature of the Decision

The Grammy winner’s recent podcast appearance marks yet another occasion on which she has articulated the challenges she encountered in the dissolution of her marriage to her former spouse.

In an interview on the Today program in September 2020, Clarkson stated that it is difficult to predict the emotional impact of divorce on individuals as it is not generally anticipated.

The Voice coach and her estranged husband experienced a contentious dissolution of their marriage, which included a protracted legal dispute over their Montana residence. In September 2021, Clarkson was legally declared single, and the divorce was finalized six months later.

Clarkson has two children, a daughter named River Rose, aged eight, and a son named Remington, aged six, with the talent manager. The host of The Kelly Clarkson Show has acknowledged that her young children have been finding it challenging to cope with the dissolution of her marriage. For his part, Blackstock also shares daughter Savannah and son Seth with his former spouse, Melissa Ashworth.
