Kelly Clarkson Says She Was Ripped Apart Over Her Divorce from Brandon Blackstock: ‘It Wasn’t an Overnight Decision’
17.03.2023 - 01:43 / usmagazine.com
Doing what’s best for her. Kelly Clarkson opened up about the difficult choice she made when she decided to divorce Brandon Blackstock.
“[Divorce] rips you apart,” the “Stronger” songstress, 40, explained during her Monday, March 13, appearance on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast. “Whenever you fall in love with someone — and it doesn’t work.”
Clarkson and Blackstock, 46, called it quits in June 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage. The “Since You Been Gone” songstress filed for divorce at the time, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The former American Idol winner reflected on the tough choice she made nearly three years later.
“I think the thing about divorce — especially having it publicized, and people thinking they know the whole thing — the hardest part of that is, like, it wasn’t an overnight decision,” she recalled. “Anyone that’s been divorced [knows]. That was years in trying to make — not make it work, cause I never wanted to be part of something to make it work. I wanted to make it beautiful. I wanted to make it awesome. I wanted to make it everything it possibly could be, and sometimes that just doesn’t happen.”
The Grammy winner’s latest podcast appearance isn’t the first time she’s shared how difficult it was for her to end things with her ex.
“You can ask anyone who’s gone through a divorce, I don’t think anyone expects it,” Clarkson told Hoda Kotb during an interview on Today in September 2020. “You see yourself growing old with someone and then life has a different path. It’s so hard on everyone, and you know me, I’m really open. I try to be open and share … It’s just a tricky thing to navigate.”
