Kelly Clarkson, the voice behind ‘Since You’ve Been Gone,’ finalized her divorce in 2022. The separation between Kelly and Brandon Blackstock has been in the spotlight since their unexpected announcement in 2020.
With the launch of her new album, ‘Chemistry,’ Kelly offers fans a peek into their nearly seven-year marriage. She openly discusses the highs and lows and hasn’t held back from addressing their past legal disputes.
Two years post their breakup, in 2022, their divorce was officially settled. The amount Kelly has been paying Brandon since then is jaw-dropping.
Kelly Clarkson’s Divorce Details
Before starting her monthly payments to Brandon, Kelly made a one-time payment of over $1.3 million. Although Kelly has primary custody of their kids, River Rose and Remington, she pays Brandon $45,601 monthly for child support.
Initially, she was directed to pay Brandon $150,000 monthly as spousal support. This amount was later reduced to $115,000, which she’ll continue to pay until January 31, 2024.
Brandon retained possession of their farm animals, select vehicles, a golf simulator, and luxury Patek Philippe watches. Kelly kept the family pets, several cars, and a flight simulator. She also reclaimed her Montana ranch, worth $17.8 million, in June 2022. However, Brandon received a 5% stake in the property.

Kelly’s Take on the Divorce Settlement
In her song ‘Red Flag Collector,’ Kelly hints at Brandon’s reliance on her wealth, singing about him taking her money and tarnishing her reputation, which she’s unfazed by. She also tweaked the lyrics of Gayle’s ‘abcdefu’ during performances, making them more personal and reflective of her situation.
