Kelly Clarkson Finds Peace Amid Divorce Drama, Says She Has ‘No Regrets’
Kelly Clarkson is embracing a new chapter of her life with unwavering strength and determination. Despite the challenges she faced following her split from Brandon Blackstock, a source close to the singer revealed exclusively to PEOPLE that Kelly has “no regrets” about her decision to walk away from her marriage.
“She is doing really well,” the insider shared. “She is happy that she left L.A. for N.Y. She has the primary custody of the kids and is a great mom.”
Kelly, known for hits like Stronger and Because of You, prioritizes her role as a mother above all else, cherishing every moment spent with her children.
Though the divorce was undoubtedly a tough ordeal, she quickly bounced back and remains resolute in her decision. “Although she loves working, the kids are her world,” the source emphasized, adding that the singer “is very hands-on and fun.”
Kelly, 41, and Brandon, 47, tied the knot in October 2013 after getting engaged in December 2012. Their union brought forth two beautiful children, daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington Alexander, 7. Despite their best efforts, the couple parted ways in June 2020, with Kelly filing for divorce later that year.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in January 2024, she opened up about the emotional toll of her divorce, describing it as “extraordinarily hard.” She found solace in her music, channeling her feelings into her latest album Chemistry, providing an outlet for her overwhelming emotions.
The legal battles following the divorce continue to unfold. Recently, Clarkson filed new documents claiming that Brandon owes her significantly more than the $2.6 million previously ruled by a California labor commissioner. The documents allege violations of state labor rules dating back to 2007, further complicating the already contentious divorce proceedings.
In her new document, Kelly requested for a “full and complete accounting from Starstruck of all monies received by Starstruck, directly or indirectly, in connection with any and all contracts, employment, or engagements pertaining in any way to the personal services of [Clarkson].” This includes commissions, advances, profits, fees, and producing fees.
