Kelly Clarkson, the 41-year-old American singer and winner of the first season of American Idol, has recently opened up about her decision to remain single after a bad divorce from her talent manager husband, Brandon Blackstock. Despite their almost 7-year marriage, Clarkson filed for divorce in June 2020 citing "irreconcilable differences."
As someone who grew up in a divorced family herself, Clarkson understands the burden that her children are carrying and tries to communicate with them in a way that acknowledges their feelings without treating them like adults. She often asks them if they're happy and what could make them happier.
