Really sad to hear, especially during such a difficult time. Hang in there Kelly! We all know you’re a fighter and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger ❤️

I remember on her birthday when they filmed that short video and Brandon was saying how much he loved her more than she would ever know. Something really egregious must have happened.

Wow, this is shocking. I’m so sorry for whatever the situation is. You hear songs like Winter Dreams and Piece By Piece and one has to wonder what the hell could have happened. Regardless of that, she clearly was at one point really and truly happy with him and her life. I hate that that changed because she deserves all the happiness in the world.

Sad for her on a personal level, but I can't say I'm not curious to hear what My December 2020 will sound like.

God damn it. I'm so heartbroken for her. I wonder if it's political reasons as to why they divorced. I mean would he really cheat on her? Ugh. This is awful. Side note (that's pretty irrelevant) I doubt I'll hear her sing Winter Dreams live. That song is a Christmas classic if I ever heard one.

I just heard this now thru this tweet
and while I don’t normally put much thought into the personal lives of celebrities, I am finding myself sad at the news because of how powerful Piece By Piece is.

She's never cared for social media, but she made sure to unfollow him on insta.
Very sad to hear about this, but she has a village around her to help her with everything and a therapist so hopefully she'll be fine one day.

So obviously I know f*ck all about their personal lives, but I don't think the divorce needs to undermine this song. He put her together 8 years ago - and just because their story doesn't have a happy ending, doesn't change what he did for her. For me, and this is probably influenced by the Idol performance, PBP is as much about him being a good father - and nothing I've read sounds like he's anything but one. He was present for the children from his first marriage, and I'm sure he will be there for River Rose and Remington.

I really dislike Brandon, but they seemed genuinely happy and she seemed legitimately in love with him. I hope she is alright and that they can co-parent the kids together successfully. A divorce doesn't have to be terrible (of course I say this with zero knowledge of the inner workings of what happened). ...and yet you (and others) have continued to trash the man as if you have dealt with him on a personal level. Seems a little...weird to me to say you "really dislike" someone who you have never met, particularly when there is no actual evidence against him other than his..."deceitful eyes" and reticence? I mean, sure, I dislike Hitler and terrorists and Donald Trump without having met them, but they have documented actions and behaviors. To your knowledge, what has Brandon done to warrant these feelings? Just curious. Otherwise, it just comes off as stan culture at its worst. It's weird. Usually, my best friend is the last person to give me any kind of celebrity news because a) I am glued to my phone and b) I have Pulse LOL, but when she just told me, I was actually surprised. Granted, I have no knowledge of the inner workings of their marriage (as I'm 100% positive none of y'all do), but I always got the feeling that she was really happy and the marriage was secure. I hope she recovers and finds love again, but most importantly, I hope she takes care of herself and her kids throughout this.

I hope they can just get the divorce and settle things and this doesn’t get blown into a huge scandal. But people and the media will speculate and will want to know and find out what happened.. I agree perhaps now will be a good time to take break and maybe even cancel the summer edition of the talk show. Her profile is too huge right now for this not to be headline entertainment news for a while. ESPECIALLY because this is so random; the press will be all over this simply for the shock factor, unfortunately. However - if we do end up finding out the reasons, and those reasons are in Kelly’s favor (which I fully suspect at this point), then I think her career could benefit. Obviously this doesn’t really matter right now, this is truly just devastating and awful... and honestly heartbreaking, BUT there will come a time when this is all just a memory, and like always I have faith Kelly will come out of this even stronger. I will admit, though, given how good things SEEMED as recently as last frickin week, I don’t think this will be easy or smooth. This kinda looks like the beginning of yet another rough patch, no matter how you look at it.

I saw the thread had jumped 2 pages and was so excited to hear about new music or what not. Not this?! I have no idea what happened and it is none of my business but I hope Kelly can get through this without the media creating too much of a circus or scandal.

i saw someone said in one facebook comment said he has been cheating on her since last year, and will have a baby coming along with that, its weird there seems so much speculation about him cheating, like father like son.
and this made me can't go back to sleep

Always sad to hear of a couple splitting. Stay strong Kelly.
Crazy to think that today is the 18th anniversary of the first airing of American Idol.

While I agree her pen game is excellent and underrated, many of her best songs are on the sadder side. Now that she leads a seemingly happy life (loving husband, four kids, a comfortable career groove), she probably doesn't feel as much need to exorcise her demons and write another "Because of You," "Maybe," "Piece By Piece," etc. She's said herself the fun songs aren't fun to write. This comment isn't even a day old, but it has certainly aged poorly, wow. Sending the biggest virtual hugs to Kelly and her family.

She never did follow him on there. Plus I don't even think she personally does anything on insta. Twitter is her place and she's still following him there. Never in a million years did I have this on the list of other fucked up things to happen in 2020. Hoping everything turns out for the best for both of them, and especially the kids.

To your knowledge, what has Brandon done to warrant these feelings? Just curious. Otherwise, it just comes off as stan culture at its worst. My dislike of him has zero to do with Kelly Clarkson or "personal knowledge"-it has to be with his questionable political beliefs. I don't want this to become a political battle here, but yeah, I think certain types of political beliefs say something about you even if you don't know someone personally and, especially in the age of Trump, I reserve the right to dislike someone for their politics I feel like I even remember one point where Kelly came out and said her political beliefs do not follow his but that different sides need to understand each other or some s**t because people were pointing out his politics before. This happened years ago though and I don't remember the exact details and any googling I do right now brings up the divorce news. In my googling, I also saw very recent cute videos and love declarations from them...wonder if something very abrupt and sudden happened.

I feel heartbroken. This is so shocking to me. Kelly seemed so genuinely happy and in love, and I really thought that their marriage would last a long time/until death do us part. It does feel really abrupt, which makes me worry about the possibility of an affair. But who knows? Maybe there have been some serious long-standing issues. I really hope that Kelly and her family are getting the support that they need and get through what’s likely going to be a difficult period of time.

My heart goes out to Kelly. I was definitely not expecting this to ever happen. I wonder if she is going to take a break from everything for a while after this. I can about imagine how hard it will be to be in the public eye after going through a divorce. No matter what she decides to do, I know we will all support her. Stay strong girl.

Oh my god, this is the last thing I ever saw coming. I can't imagine what she's going through - this had to have developed recently. You'd have never known anything was going on in her personal life judging from her recent talk show episodes.

I have felt his Republican ass was trash for a while but remained happy for Kelly nonetheless. My heart goes out to her. Really puts that recent BOY performance in context. Something felt so raw about it.

Brandon is still her manager, correct? This affects many aspects of her career as well, he's an EP of the show. It'll be interesting to see what she does - she's been with the Blackstocks/Starstruck since 2007!
I don't know if anyone is necessarily trying to cite political differences as driving a wedge between them, but a central theme of her show is trying to unite people despite our differences in today's world. There's got to be more to it than that. If infidelity was involved, good for her for leaving his ass right away and not standing for it.

I'm actually in shock. They seemed like the perfect couple :'( I am not at all. If blinds are anything to go by, his trifling ass has done her wrong for YEARS, she's probably had enough. (Assuming the rumors of him being a serial cheater are true, obviously, which my gut tells me they are.)
