Kelly Clarkson, American singer and songwriter, has filed for divorce from Brandon Blackstock, her husband of nearly seven years.
Blackstock, is a talent manager and a son to Clarkson‘s former manager.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the American Idol winner quietly filed to end her marriage in Los Angeles last week.
Clarkson, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. She also requested that she should not be required to pay Blackstock spousal support.
The filing asks that the singer’s legal last name be restored to Clarkson; and it indicates that the couple had a prenuptial agreement.
However, People suggests their “really busy” schedules over the past year may have impacted their married life.
Clarkson, 38, and Blackstock, 43, began dating in 2011. The pair got married in 2013 in the first marriage for Clarkson and the second for Blackstock.
They have two children together, five-year-old daughter River Rose and four-year-old son Remington Alexander.
Blackstock also shares his 13-year-old son Seth and 17-year-old daughter Savannah with his ex-wife Melissa Ashworth.
The news of their divorce comes just weeks after Kelly Clarkson – who is said to be worth $45 million – put her Encino, California home up for sale, listing the sprawling pad for just under $10 million.
