If you’re anything like us, you are absolutely FLOORED by the news of Kelly Clarkson filing for divorce!
Kelly and hubby Brandon Blackstock were one of those severely cutesy couples we assumed would never break — they just seemed so happy to be together! Not to mention the heaps of public pride in their kids. Yeesh. This was just so out of left field. And it doesn’t help neither has addressed the split publicly yet.
So what the heck happened?!

Well, you know how they say “don’t s**t where you eat”? Meaning don’t date someone you work with because if the relationship goes bad it can ruin the working environment?
It seems the opposite might be true, too. Because for Kelly and Brandon, it sounds like deciding to work together might have eventually messed up the marriage. (Come to think of it, “don’t eat where you s**t” does also sound like good advice.)
An insider gave us more insight than we’ve gotten from anywhere else, telling ET the couple decided mutually to break up “after realizing the relationship hasn’t been working for a while.”
Man, that’s news to us. Apparently they were keeping it under wraps really well, too.
For those who don’t know, Brandon — the son of Kelly’s former manager Navel Blackstock — took over not only as her manager but also serves as an executive producer of her hit daytime talk show.
A second source close to production revealed most of the couple’s coworkers were “in the dark” about any of these marital problems, saying:
“Everyone loves Brandon. He’s an integral part of the show. Everything is run by him and he’s a hands-on, decision-maker, not just Kelly’s husband/manager.”
Could that be part of the problem? As a “hands-on” producer was he having too many work disagreements with Kelly? It kind of sounds like it, as the first source told the outlet:
“Kelly and Brandon work together non-stop and that became a contention in their relationship.”
Aw, that’s so sad! Nearly seven years together, and it’s ruined by work??
Of course that isn’t the only reason. The source added:
“Also, Kelly has always brought up wanting more children, which Brandon doesn’t.”
Wait, what? That doesn’t make any sense, does it?
Kelly has been vocal about not wanting any more kids because her pregnancies were “miserable.” She even admitted in a 2016 interview she made Brandon get a vasectomy!
Did she change her mind? Did she ask him to get a reverse vasectomy?? That would be a point of contention for sure.
Where do YOU think the truth lies? Work or home?? Or failure to separate the two???
