Kelly Clarkson & Brandon Blackstock’s Split: What Went Wrong?

Earlier this month, Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock announced they are over after nearly seven years of marriage.
In court documents obtained by "Extra," Clarkson filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. While their separation date is "TBD," she is requesting joint physical and legal custody of their children River Rose, 5, and Remington Alexander, 4. Along with requesting that the judge not grant spousal support to Blackstock, she is asking that they split the cost for legal fees.
The news came just weeks after Clarkson put their Los Angeles home on the market for $10 million. The 9,839-sq.-ft. home has a movie theater, gym, pool, and fire pit.
Clarkson last posted about Blackstock in March, sharing a pic of Brandon and their daughter River and writing, “Quarantine hair don't care 💁🏼♀️ Daddy's giving River riding lessons and she loved it.”
