Kelly Clarkson Thanks Estranged Husband After Daytime Emmy Award Win

Kelly Clarkson just took home a Daytime Emmy Award, and she is thanking her estranged husband for it!

As you may have seen, the 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards went virtual this year thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, but the excitement was all the same when The Kelly Clarkson Show host took home an award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host on Friday!

On Twitter, she exclaimed:

“OH MY GOSH!!!!!! What is happening?!!!! This is amazing!!! Thank y’all so much!!! And a MAJOR thank you to my entire crew that really is the reason I won!!! I can’t wait to celebrate with our whole crew when humans can congregate again!! This calls for a PARTY!!!!”

And the 38-year-old also gave a shoutout to Brandon Blackstock, whom she filed for divorce from earlier this month, and her friend/assistant Tricia:

“Thank you so much to @BBlackstock for believing in me & convincing me to do @KellyClarksonTV show and @lifeofT for being the greatest friend/assistant #BestEmilyICouldHaveAskedFor #DaytimeEmmys2020”

Hmmm… very inneresting!

Speaking of her now award-winning show, the Since U Been Gone crooner recently spoke with Demi Lovato in a vulnerable conversation about mental health and the music industry, where Clarkson compared how a mental health struggle, much like a marriage, “takes work” daily:

“Like, even when you overcome something, they’re like, ‘OK, she’s already overcome it.’ I’m like, no, no that’s a daily effort in, like, trying to be positive… That’s not, like, a given. Like, you’re just over it, and you went to some magical therapy session, and it’s over. I think that’s a daily thing that you work at and a daily thing that I work at.”

She also praised her fellow songstress for how open she’s been about her mental health journey, adding:

“I love how open you are about mental health because I have similar issues, and I suffer from depression.”

So sweet! We’re so here for more open conversations around this topic.

While she didn’t cite relationship issues as a reason she’s dealt with past struggles, Kelly did explain:

“I think a lot of people, especially in the creative world or just from childhood even, [are] kind of trained to just keep going and ‘you can handle it,’ especially as a woman it’s like, ‘Don’t let them see you sweat.'”

Congrats again, Kelly!!
