Kelly and Brandon reached the end of their marriage journey and officially parted ways in March 2022, amidst a legal tangle over management fees. The process wasn’t easy, especially when it came to their children, River Rose, aged 9, and Remington Alexander, aged 7. Kelly shared her struggles openly, particularly about the impact on their kids.
She voiced her concerns on the “We Can Do Hard Things” podcast in June. Kelly worried about her children feeling left out at school events like daddy-daughter dances due to their family situation. She emphasized her efforts to prevent her children from experiencing such moments, revealing how it led her to neglect her own needs at times.
Despite the challenges, Kelly feels she has emerged stronger post-divorce. She expressed to E! News how she feels like she’s rediscovering parts of herself that were lost in her past relationship. Kelly’s journey has been about finding balance and ensuring her children’s happiness while also reclaiming her own sense of self.
E! and “The Kelly Clarkson Show” are both under the NBCUniversal umbrella, which continues to support Kelly as she shares more about her family life and personal growth.
