'It Kills Me': Kelly Clarkson's Kids Want Mommy & Daddy Home Together after Her Fight for Them with Ex

• Kelly Clarkson’s little children want their father to be home with their mother.
• She protected her children from her ex-husband's “unreasonable requests” which related to them.
• “The Voice” coach confessed she’d always love her famous ex despite their messy divorce.

In March 2023, Kelly Clarkson appeared on "The Angie Martinez IRL Podcast," where she candidly discussed single motherhood for the first time. Her open interview came two years after she divorced the father of her children.

The country music singer revealed that one of the things she did to ensure she was raising her children right. The star said each night when she was snuggling and putting her children to bed she asked them if they were happy.

Clarkson shared that if the answer wasn't a positive one, she'd ask the children what would make them happy. However, for the past two years, their responses hadn't been positive, and she confessed, “It kills me!”

Despite that, she wanted them to be honest and didn't discourage them from telling her the truth. The star revealed that sometimes her children admitted to being really sad, with them stating:

“I wish Mommy and Daddy were in the same house.”

Even though their responses sometimes hurt, Clarkson wanted them to honest with her and she was doing her best. The best part was that coming from a divorced family herself, the musician related, but she vowed to her children that they would work it out together.

"The Kelly Clarkson Show" host also promised her children that they were loved by both her and their father. The star believed in communicating with her offspring, and allowing them to have their big feelings.

In October 2020, the mother of two opened up about her feelings towards her ex-husband. The vocalist admitted that she found it was the most "ridiculous thing sometimes" that after being deeply in love with someone people would ask why you couldn't get over them quickly, with her stating:

"I think I might always still love that person.”

Clarkson also confessed that she didn't think that feeling went away. Sadly, the singer's divorce from her husband was a messy one, where she was the one who decided to call it quits.

Why Did Kelly Have to Protect and Fight for the Children She Shares with Her Famous Ex?

in 2020, Brandon Blackstock, wanted $436,000 monthly in spousal and child support from his wife in their divorce. "The Voice" coach filed for divorce in June 2020, after being married to him for seven years.

A source said at the time that Brandon had been "equally unreasonable in his requests" and lawyer's fees. the songstress had offered to pay their children's expenses, but the music manager felt he was still entitled to $135,000 monthly in child and $301,000 in spousal support.

What would happen was that Brandon would receive over $5.2 million yearly. The insider noted how Clarkson's ex had requested $2 million to cover lawyer fees despite him being the one pushing the costs up by having seven attorney's representing him.

Another person whose had an experience with the Blackstock men was Reba McEntire who was once married to Narvel Blackstock, Brandon's father, before their painful 2015 divorce. In 2021, the legendary singer was asked if she'd mentored Clarkson or given her any advice about her own separation.

The court found that the children hadn't lived in Montana, and ordered their father [Brandon Blackstock] to travel to Los Angeles.

McEntire said she loved and knew Clarkson and Brandon, as the former was a good friend and the latter was her stepson. The iconic songstress shared that she was "pulling" for them and hoped they were healthy and happy, while surviving this chapter.

The country music singer prayed everyone would encourage the former couple as she loved them both with all her heart. Besides the all the money Brandon wanted in his divorce, there were other things he wanted that focused on their children.

What Unreasonable Requests Did Brandon Demanded before Kelly Won the Fight for Their Children?

The source revealed that Brandon wanted his children to travel between Los Angeles to where he lived in Montana. Otherwise, they had to stay in Montana despite Los Angeles being "undeniably" their "home base."

The court found that the children hadn't lived in Montana, and ordered their father to travel to Los Angeles. He would have parenting time and visitation at his ex-wife's Woodvale residence, and in November 2020, a judge ruled that Clarkson would have primary custody of River Rose and Remington Alexander.

It was discovered that it was in the best interest of the children to continue receiving the same stability they'd always known. The court noted that the conflict between Brandon and Clarkson had increased and they struggled co-parenting due to their issues of trust.
