Keeping it real. Kelly Clarkson surprised some when she filed for divorce from Brandon Blackstock on June 4, 2020, after nearly seven years of marriage. At the time, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the former couple "clashed on so many levels and being in quarantine together [amid the coronavirus pandemic] heightened their problems to the point of no return." The insider added that the pair, who tied the knot in October 2013 and later welcomed two children, daughter River Rose and son Remington, "definitely didn't" have a perfect marriage.
