Kelly Clarkson is embracing her new chapter after her “difficult” divorce from Brandon Blackstock, according to an exclusive source close to the singer. The 41-year-old pop star recently filed a lawsuit against Blackstock, claiming he owes her more than $2.6 million. Despite the ongoing legal battle, Clarkson has “no regrets” about leaving her marriage.

The insider revealed that Clarkson is doing well and is happy with her decision to move from Los Angeles to New York. She has primary custody of their children and is described as a great mom who prioritizes her kids above all else. Despite her love for her career, her children are her world, and she is hands-on and fun with them.

Although the divorce was challenging, Clarkson has reportedly recovered quickly and has no regrets about her decision. In a previous interview with PEOPLE, she opened up about how difficult the divorce was, stating that it was a blessing to have an outlet for her overwhelming emotions through her latest album, “Chemistry.”

Clarkson and Blackstock were married for almost seven years before they separated in June 2020. They got engaged in December 2012 and tied the knot the following October. The couple shares two children together, daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington Alexander, 7. Blackstock also has two children from his previous marriage.

In March, Clarkson filed new documents claiming that Blackstock had been violating state labor rules since 2007. The lawsuit alleges that he overstepped his legal limits as her manager and asks for a “full and complete accounting” of all monies received by Blackstock’s family-owned company, Starstruck Management.

Despite the legal battle, Kelly Clarkson is focused on moving forward and embracing her new life. She is an inspiration for anyone going through a difficult divorce or challenging times, showing that it’s possible to come out stronger and thrive.
