Kelly Clarkson just received a huge win in her ongoing divorce with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, after a judge signed the order officially upholding their prenuptial agreement.

According to new legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the couple bifurcated the issue of the validity of their prenup and argued their positions in front of a family law judge. As you know, Brandon was challenging the pre-marital contract, which was a huge deal considering the former couple's huge amount of wealth and property.

In the order, the court rejected the notion that all property and assets acquired during the marriage were owned by the couple 50/50. Instead, the prenup called for any property and money Kelly brought into the marriage would remain solely her own. Plus, any property the two acquired while married also belongs to Clarkson.

"I have this record that we're working on. It's really great and really honest," Clarkson told Entertainment Tonight.
