Kelly Clarkson: I've Become My Own 'Hero' Amid Brandon Blackstock Divorce

Keeping it real. Kelly Clarkson surprised some when she filed for divorce from Brandon Blackstock on June 4, 2020, after nearly seven years of marriage. At the time, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the former couple “clashed on so many levels and being in quarantine together [amid the coronavirus pandemic] heightened their problems to the point of no return.” The insider added that the pair, who tied the knot in October 2013 and later welcomed two children, daughter River Rose and son Remington, “definitely didn’t” have a perfect marriage. “Brandon’s very laid-back, whereas Kelly’s pretty high-strung,” the source explained. The former American Idol winner made it clear in April 2015 that Blackstock wasn’t her “other half,” noting that the two did, however, have a lot in common. “He’s a whole and I’m a whole,” the “Miss Independent” singer told Redbook at the time. “I’ve never believed in someone taking care of me, and that’s probably because I grew up poor and without a lot of family stability.” Clarkson added: “We put each other first. I call it the oxygen-mask mentality — take care of yourself first!” Since calling it quits, Clarkson has been even more open about her dynamic with her estranged husband and how she’s feeling amid the breakup. “I mean, it’s no secret. My life has been a little bit of a dumpster,” the Grammy winner said in September during an interview on Sunday Today With Willie Geist. “Personally, it’s been a little hard the last couple months.” When it comes to their family, however, the Voice coach has vowed to use discretion. In addition to their two children, Blackstock is father of two children, Savannah and Seth, from his previous marriage to Melissa Ashworth. “What I am dealing with is hard because it involves more than just my heart. It involves a lot of little hearts,” the “Already Gone” singer said during the season 2 premiere of The Kelly Clarkson Show in September. “We have four kids and divorce is never easy. We’re both from divorced families, so we know the best thing here is to protect our children and their little hearts.” Scroll down to see what the “Since U Been Gone” singer has said about her split from Blackstock.

Gwen Stefani: What I Love Most About ‘Best Friend’ Blake Shelton

Opposites attract! Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton might seem as different as can be — but they make a perfect match. The musical duo met while working on The Voice in 2015 and quickly fell for each other in the wake of their divorces from Gavin Rossdale and Miranda Lambert. After five years together, Shelton finally popped the question in October 2020. “Hey @gwenstefani thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!” the country crooner gushed via Instagram alongside a sweet PDA pic from his proposal. Stefani, for her part, teased that her answer was an obvious one. “Yes please! ,” she captioned her own Instagram post at the time. Two years earlier, the Oklahoma native revealed that his budding relationship with Stefani helped him get back from “rock bottom” after the end of his four-year marriage. “It’s a miracle that I met somebody that was going through the same exact thing that I was at the same exact moment in time,” Shelton told Willie Geist during a June 2018 episode of Sunday Today. “I think if Gwen and I were being honest right now talking about this, I think in the back of our minds, we both kind of thought this is a rebound deal. … But now here we are three years later, and every day that goes by just feels like a stronger bond between the two of us, and it constantly feels like it’s going to the next level.” Stefani split from Rossdale in August 2015, and the exes share three sons: Kingston, Zuma and Apollo. While the “Hollaback Girl” singer and Shelton hunkered down together amid the coronavirus pandemic, an insider told Us Weekly exclusively that Stefani’s kids have a soft spot for Shelton. “Those boys look up to Blake in a big way,” the source said in August 2020. “He’s earned their respect as a father figure. He’s gone from being their friend to being a serious parental influence.” Scroll down to take a look back at all of Stefani and Shelton’s sweetest moments together.
