Kelly Clarkson & Brandon Blackstock

Kelly Clarkson met her music manager husband, Brandon Blackstock, four years after she rose to prominence from American Idol. The happy couple married and have two children, and everything seemed to be going great for the couple. However, the couple has called it quits on their relationship after seven years. It’s been reported that the separation is becoming a little tumultuous.

Despite calling the turbulent year a “dumpster fire” and an “emotional rollercoaster,” Kelly revealed she took some positives from 2020, including her personal development. The American Idol alum returned to her red coaches chair on the newest season of The Voice, and the former couple’s Tennessee and California investment properties are currently for sale. There’s no news about who will own the Montana ranch, but Clarkson’s estranged husband has some sharp cowboy skills from his time in Wyoming. Although Kelly and Brandon filed for separation after seven years of marriage, their love story is one of music industry magic.
