She continued: "I wasn't sure I was going to release it but I am and the album is called Chemistry."

DIVORCE FROM BRANDON

Kelly left her husband Brandon in 2020 after seven years of marriage.

The singer rose to fame in the early 2000s after winning the first season of American Idol in 2002.

Over a decade later, Kelly then tied the knot with talent manager Brandon Blackstock.

While the pair seemed inseparable, The Kelly Clarkson Show host shocked fans when she filed for divorce on June 4, 2020.

At the time, she cited "irreconcilable differences" and later admitted on her show that she "didn't see" it coming.

During her show's season premiere, Kelly revealed: "2020 has been a dumpster fire.

"2020 has brought a lot of change also to my personal life. Definitely didn't see anything coming that came.

"But what I'm dealing with is hard because it involves more than just my heart. It involves a lot of little hearts."

"You know, we have four kids and divorce is never easy, and we're both from divorced families, so we know the best thing here is to protect our children and their little hearts," Kelly added.

Their divorce was later settled in March 2022, and the Grammy Award-winning singer was ordered to pay Blackstock just over $1.3million along with $45,601 per month in child support, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

RELATIONSHIP HISTORY

Clarkson met her music manager and ex-husband backstage at a rehearsal for the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2006.

After several years of dating, the pair got engaged in December 2012 and married a year later at a luxury estate in Tennessee.

After tying the knot in 2013, Clarkson and Blackstock went on to welcome two kids, daughter River Rose and son Remington Alexander.

As part of their divorce agreement, the former couple will have joint custody, however, the children are expected to reside with Clarkson in Los Angeles, The Blast reports.

MOVING ON

Kelly revealed how she got over the nasty divorce from her ex-husband Brandon when she sat down with fellow musicians The Chicks on her talk show.

During the interview, Kelly asked the Chicks — Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer — about their songwriting craft and "how hard is [it] to write so openly and honest while navigating [their] children" and those close to them.

Emily responded, "There's no way around it. When you write falsely it doesn't work. You have to be real."

She continued, "The more specific you are the more it's universal to other people."

Kelly then candidly stated, "We all went through divorces," before asking, "How did you each find strength?"

Before they could answer, the Voice coach quickly added, "and not just music. I think it's therapeutic but like your female friendships. I feel like that has really helped me".

Martie replied, "I remember when [Natalie] first came down to the studio and said 'Guys I just want to tell you I'm getting a divorce.'"

Natalie jokes, "Which time was this?", as the other three laughed.

"The first one," chuckled Martie as she continued: "I remember thinking, I'm getting a divorce, now she says she's getting a divorce, now I can't say I'm getting a divorce."
