The final days of Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock's marriage were filled with heartbreak and emotional turmoil, according to new reports. The couple, who announced their divorce in 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage, faced immense challenges in their relationship before calling it quits.
Insiders reveal that the pair struggled to reconcile their differences, with Clarkson focusing on her thriving career while Blackstock managed their shared business ventures. The strain of balancing personal and professional lives reportedly took a toll on their bond.
Emotional Struggles Behind Closed Doors
Friends close to the couple disclosed that Clarkson often felt overwhelmed by the pressures of fame and motherhood. Meanwhile, Blackstock, a talent manager, found it difficult to separate his professional role from their personal life.
"There were moments of deep sadness and frustration," a source shared. "They tried to make it work, but the emotional distance became too much to overcome."
Co-Parenting After the Split
Despite the divorce, Clarkson and Blackstock have remained committed to co-parenting their two children, River Rose and Remington Alexander. The singer has spoken openly about the challenges of raising kids while navigating a high-profile separation.
"It's not easy, but we're doing our best for the kids," Clarkson said in a recent interview. "They’re our priority."
Moving Forward
Since the divorce, Clarkson has thrown herself into her work, including her successful talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. Blackstock, on the other hand, has kept a lower profile, focusing on his career in talent management.
