Kelly Clarkson has been so forthcoming about her transition as she navigates her divorce with ex Brandon Blackstock. On the February 9 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the Grammy winner, 38, expressed how co-parenting the former couple’s two little ones — daughter River Rose, 6, and son Remington Alexander, 4 — hasn’t been easy for her. “It’s tough,” the talk show host confessed to guest Khloe Kardashian, who’s also been co-parenting her two-year-old daughter, True Thompson, with ex Tristan Thompson.
“I know with me and Brandon, it’s just a difficult thing because we’re in different places, and it’s like, we both agree on the main things, but it’s a hard thing when you’re not together all the time, for me personally.” The two women bonded over their experiences, and Kelly revealed more about her current situation, as she remains in Los Angeles while Brandon resides in Montana. Most importantly, Kelly put an emphasis on how much she and Brandon are putting their attention and focus on their children’s well-being.
The parents’ custody battle has also been rather difficult. By November 2020, fans learned more about Kelly and Brandon’s situation, as Kelly requested to retain primary custody of their youngsters. Brandon, however, filed for $436,000 in spousal and child support, which ultimately broke down to $301,000 in spousal support and $135,000 in child support. Eventually the court made the decision for the kids to remain with Kelly in Los Angeles and visit their father on the first, third, and fifth weekends of each month.
