All the signs Kelly Clarkson was headed for divorce from husband Brandon Blackstock (2024)

KELLY Clarkson hinted she was headed towards a split from her husband, Brandon Blackstock, several times leading up to her divorce.

The Voice coach filed to end her marriage from her husband and manager, Brandon, at a court in Los Angeles on June 4, The Sun can confirm.

Kelly, 38, most recently signaled they had different visions for their family on May 28 during an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.

As she filmed from her Montana ranch - where she has quarantined with her family since March - the singer had chef Gordon Ramsay, 53, on as a guest.

The Hell’s Kitchen host showed off his 13-month-old son, Oscar, and Kelly appeared stunned.

As her jaw dropped and she put her hands on her face, she exclaimed: “Oh my gosh!

“Do not do this to me. I so want another child, and my husband is like, 'No! We have four,’” she said just two weeks ago.

Kelly and Brandon got married in 2013 and have two children together - daughter River Rose, 5, and son Remington Alexander, 4.

She also is stepmom to Seth, 13, and Savannah, 18, from the music executive’s previous relationship.

Last month, the American Idol winner confessed she ditched her children and husband to spend her 38th birthday completely alone.

Kelly made the rather shocking revelation of her April 24 birthday on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

She told the SNL alum: "I looked at my husband because it was a rough week of work and non-stop everything, and I said: 'I don't want to cook one damn meal, I don't want to clean one article of clothing, I don't want to do anything.’

The Stronger songstress continued to explain: "So it's like for my birthday, I literally asked to be left alone.

“Which is funny because we're all in isolation, but I'm not in isolation because I'm constantly surrounded by people.

"I was alone and I enjoyed it. I did nothing but eat stuff that made me gain ten pounds and I watched whatever I was watching, I don’t even remember.”

Just one week before her solo celebration, Kelly told The Today Show that times have been “depressing” lately.

She said of homeschooling during the pandemic on April 16: “In all seriousness, it is funny with the kids and it is hard doing the teaching and all those kinds of things.

“But it can be depressing, this kind of isolation. It can be a little dark for everyone and there’s a lot of uncertainty.”

In August, the TV host said her family’s big move from Nashville to Los Angeles was at her husband’s urging to push her out of her “comfort zone.”

She revealed to People: “We ended up moving our whole family out here. It was kind of a big decision for us, but it just seemed like a new adventure, honestly.

“My husband is really good salesman on ideas. He's just really good at pointing out things that maybe will push me out of my comfort zone, which is why we're really great partners in life as well.”

The TV personality then brought up her need for alone time once again when talking about Brandon’s busy schedule.

"Even the show here, he has his own office. I have my own office. And he's always on the phone ... he's always working.

“When we vacation, he goes off and doesstuff with the kids, and then I'll do something else with the other two.

"We do a really good jobof being like, 'I need some me time,’” she told the outlet.

As the couple made plans for their cross-country relocation, Kelly told her fans during a Facebook livestream in November 2018 that her relationship was far from perfect.

“I don’t think it’s a score. I think it’s keeping a tally of how many discussions you’ve had, I think it’s that.

“My husband feels like he constantly needs to talk about the same thing; I feel like the same thing with him.

“There’s always things you’re working on. If I sat here and told you that everything was perfect, that’d be a damn lie in anybody’s relationship.

“But you have to work at it,” she candidly confessed.

Kelly has not posted a picture of Brandon on her Instagram since March 27 and unfollowed him on the social platform as their split was announced.
