Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock

Kelly Clarkson was your typical, all-American Texas sweetheart who stole the hearts of adoring fans everywhere when she took home the first season of American Idol. Since then, she’s gone on to become one of the most successful recording artists and performers in the music industry, selling over 25 million albums and 45 million singles across the world.

Her marriage to manager Brandon Blackstock began in 2013, and the pair gave it a good go, but recent lockdown restrictions only exacerbated marital trouble. The two unfortunately announced their intentions to separate in June of this past year.
