This settlement comes after the “Because Of You” singer and the talent manager disputed over ownership of the ranch. In October, Kelly was granted ownership of the ranch but Brandon countered that it was “marital property” and had refused to leave. The singer tried to evict him in December to no avail. Now, this resolution will put an end to the dispute once and for all.

Kelly and Brandon officially filed for divorce on June 4, 2020. Their divorce came nearly seven years of marriage and having two children together, five-year-old daughter River and four-year-old son Remington Alexander.

Even though she’s legally single, this doesn’t mean she’s ready to date. “Kelly had no desire to even think about dating throughout the course of her divorce from Brandon,” a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “Not only because of the pandemic, but because she had so much going on and she was dealing with a huge life transition.”

“Kelly’s friends have been such a huge support system during her divorce from Brandon. All they want is for her to be happy,” the source added. “They’ve been encouraging Kelly to test the waters and try the dating scene again. Kelly has given this a lot of thought, but she’s the type of person who gives a lot of love and she knows that she deserves someone who will treat her like the incredible woman that she is.”
