Kelly Clarkson Opened Up About Her Divorce From Brandon Blackstock, Calling It “Horribly Sad”
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Kelly Clarkson opened up about her divorce from her (soon-to-be-ex) husband, Brandon Blackstock.
Kelly admitted that she struggles with her openness because she recognizes it can affect her children.
Kelly Clarkson might be booked and busy—with hosting her own talk show, hosting the Billboard Music Awards, and being a celebrity judge on The Voice, for starters—but that doesn’t mean she isn’t hurting from recent events. In June, Kelly filed to divorce her husband, Brandon Blackstock, after seven years of marriage. Although Kelly hasn’t exposed why she and Brandon made the decision to split, she’s opening up more about the hurt her family feels right now.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kelly admitted that she’s always shared the details of her life, and she wasn’t expecting her marriage to end up like this. “I am an open book and labels and people frowned upon it early on,” she said. “I feel like if you’re hiding something, there must be something wrong with it. And there’s nothing wrong with anything—life just kind of happens, and it takes turns that you don’t expect and are sad.”
Kelly also expressed a desire to be even more open with her fans about what she’s going through, but for the sake of her children—River and Remington Blackstock, as well as her stepchildren, Savannah and Seth Blackstock—she’s being extremely mindful of what she puts out there publicly.
She explained:
“There’s a lot of hearts involved here, and you know, that’s the thing that’s been kind of hard to navigate is I am an open book, but at some point I’m a mama bear more than I am a person in the public eye. So I care one hundred percent more about my children than I do anything else on this planet. So that’s been the hard thing of, like, yes, I’m willing to share my experience, and yes, it is the worst. I mean, the past few months have been horribly sad. But at the same time, I have to think, Hmm, like, what I say has a domino effect in other people’s lives.”
Fingers crossed that Kelly and her family can get through this rough patch as gracefully as possible.
