Kelly Clarkson Spotted Without Wedding Ring Days After Filing For Divorce From Brandon Blackstock

Kelly Clarkson is doing her own thing this weekend — her first after officially filing for divorce from husband Brandon Blackstock.

The 38-year-old singer was spotted out and about already, in fact, with a Friday afternoon jaunt in her Los Angeles neighborhood with her dog. Gotta get some good exercise in even while we’re all still (technically) quarantined and supposed to be practicing social distancing, right?!

The biggest news to come from the walk, judging by the paparazzi pics themselves (which you can see HERE), is that the former American Idol champ and longtime powerhouse singer isn’t wearing her wedding ring any more. Sooo… that was fast! After all, we’ve only known about the divorce for a few days now… and even those inside her inner circle are shocked that it happened!

A source spoke to People about Clarkson’s new normal after leaving Blackstock, though, and it sounds like she’s just down to live life and keep moving things forward with the kids, the dogs, and the rest of her life. Speaking about Kelly’s day-to-day actions now post-divorce, the insider stated (below):

“Kelly is spending time in L.A. with her kids. She has been low-key and mostly stayed at home. She seems to be doing okay.”

Well then!

We do know both Clarkson and Blackstock have led increasingly busy careers over the past few years, with her TV duties ramping up in addition to all the work she’s done in music. On his end, the 43-year-old music manager has only ever gotten busier and busier in the industry with his own business, too. In the past, it’s seemed as though these two have struggled to find quality time together!

More recently, though, it’s been hypothesized that Kelly’s daytime TV show was actually the cause of their split — which would be a surprise, for sure. Still other insiders have wondered whether the coronavirus quarantine played a role, what with everybody all of a sudden locked down with nothing to do almost overnight after leading remarkably hectic, busy schedules. And hey, we get it… problems that existed before are magnified in quarantine when you’re expected to spend damn near 24 hours together with nowhere to go!!!

What do U think about this whole split, Perezcious readers?! Clearly there’s more going on here than insiders ever thought to know since the divorce itself was such a surprise, so, what’s up?! What’s the deal??
