Kelly Clarkson Wants To Keep Divorce From Brandon Blackstock Out Of Public Eye

Kelly Clarkson is hoping to keep her divorce with Brandon Blackstock out of the spotlight and away from the courtroom. In documents obtained by The Blast, the 38-year-old talk show host is asking for permission to hash out her divorce settlement in private, signifying that the two are on the same page when it comes to keeping the case out of the public eye. The former couple was married almost seven years before Kelly Clarkson pulled the plug and filed for divorce in June.

Kelly Clarkson has asked for joint physical and legal custody of their two children -- 5-year-old River Rose and 4-year-old Remington Alexander. They also already had a prenup in place prior to their marriage which the country singer is asking the court to enforce. In her petition, she also asked the court to deny any request for spousal support.

In Brandon Blackstock's response, he did not check the box to terminate support but checked the box “other” and listed “reserved.” It appears this issue will be something they will need to work out together.
