Kelly Clarkson made her debut on “The Angie Martinez IRL Podcast” in March 2023, when she talked about being a single parent. She gave an open interview two years after divorcing the children’s father.
She spoke about how she always asks her children if they are happy before tucking them into bed each night. If they are not, she asks them what would make them happy. While their responses have been occasionally painful for her to hear, she encourages them to be honest with her and does not warn them against it.
Clarkson admits that it hurts to hear that her children are not always happy, but she believes that it is important to give them space to express their emotions. She grew up in a split family and understands the impact that it can have on children. She tells her children that they will work things out together and reminds them that their father and she both love them.
The country music performer took one step to make sure she was raising her children appropriately. Before giving her children a hug and putting them to bed, the actress claimed that she always asked her children if they were happy.
If the response was unfavorable, Clarkson said she would ask the kids what would make them happy. She said, “It hurts me,” despite the fact that their responses had been unfavorable over the previous two years.
Despite this, she urged them to tell the truth and did not warn them against it. The actress claimed that her children admitted to feeling sad at times and expressed a desire for their parents to live together.
Even if their responses occasionally hurt, Clarkson needed people to be honest with her since she was doing her best. The musician understood because she had grown up in a split family, which was great, but she told her children that they would work it out together.
The host of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” also told her children that their father and she both loved them. The actress considered it crucial to interact with her children and give them space to express their emotions.
In October 2020, the mother of two admitted to having feelings for her ex-husband. The singer said she found it “crazy” that after falling deeply in love with someone, people would question why she couldn’t move on more quickly.
Clarkson added that she didn’t think the feeling had subsided. She was the one who ultimately decided to end the marriage, but the singer and her spouse went through a contentious divorce.
In their divorce in 2020, Brandon Blackstock asked his wife for spousal and child support at a rate of $436,000 a month. The “The Voice” coach filed for divorce in June 2020 after seven years of marriage.
According to a source at the time, Brandon’s demands for his attorney’s fees were equally absurd. The music manager thought he was still entitled to $301,000 in spousal support and $135,00 in child support, despite the singer’s assurances that she would pay for their children’s expenses.
As a result, Brandon would earn more than $5.2 million annually. Although he was the one driving up the cost by employing seven attorneys, the source said that Clarkson’s former requested $2 million to cover legal expenses.
Another person who interacted with the Blackstock men was Reba McEntire, who had a sad 2015 divorce from Brandon’s father, Narvel Blackstock. The legendary singer was asked in 2021 if she had mentored Clarkson or given any counsel during her divorce.

With Clarkson being a personal friend and Brandon being her stepson, McEntire claimed to love and know both of them. The iconic singer expressed her support for them and expressed her wish for their well-being and happiness during this time.
Since she adored them both, the country music performer thought that everyone would be in favor of the previous union. Throughout his divorce, Brandon had more than just financial goals. He also desired greater focus on their children.
The source claimed that Brandon wanted his children to fly between Montana, where he lived, and Los Angeles, where he lived. Los Angeles was “undeniably” their “home base,” but they would still have had to stay in Montana.
The court ruled that their father must travel to Los Angeles because the children had not lived in Montana. A judge decided that Clarkson would have primary custody of River Rose and Remington Alexander starting in November 2020, and he would have parenting time and visitation at the house of his ex-Woodvale wife.
It was determined that maintaining the continuity of the stability the kids had become accustomed to was in their best interests. The court observed that Brandon and Clarkson’s argument had gotten worse and that they were having trouble co-parenting because of mistrust issues.
Ultimately, Kelly Clarkson has been frank and candid about her experience raising a child alone. Even if her children’s reactions are occasionally upsetting to hear, she thinks it’s crucial to give them the freedom to express their feelings. She grew up in a fractured home and is aware of the effects divorce may have on children. Clarkson and her ex-husband went through a bitter divorce.
