One of the many things fans love about the one and only Kelly Clarkson is that she isn't afraid of honesty, transparency, and telling it like it is. Ever since she shot to stardom on American Idol, Kelly has been one of the most authentic stars in Hollywood.
Even amidst adversity and personal anguish, Kelly has kept a smile on her face, which is why I'm thrilled to announce the mom of two has finally settled her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.
Kelly and Brandon had been together since 2012 and shared two children together, River Rose, 7, and Remington Alexander, 5.
The couple was also raising two of Brandon's children from a previous marriage.
In fact, Kelly never shied away from opening up about the more private side of her relationship.
"I was like, 'Oh that's that feeling… OK! That's what they were talking about in Waiting to Exhale. I just got it. I just didn't have a clue."
Unfortunately for Kelly, the divorce was turbulent from the start. As fans may recall, the American Idol winner was being sued by her former father-in-law's company back in September 2020.
$436,000 to be exact, according to People.
"Brandon's been equally unreasonable in his requests for child and spousal support, as well as attorney fees," a source told the publication at the time.
As reported by People, Kelly will pay her ex a $1.3 million lump sum, as well as a monthly child support payment of $45,601 for their two children.

He will also get an ATV, several CAT snowmobiles, a golf simulator and a couple of Patek Philippe watches.
