Clarkson Speaks Out About Her Divorce
Clarkson filed for divorce from her husband Brandon Blackstock in June 2020, citing irreconcilable differences. In September 2020, Clarkson told Us Weekly, “I’ve been talking to friends that have been through divorce. I don’t know how people go through that without having some kind of outlet because it is the worst thing ever for everyone involved.”
On Kevin Hart’s Peacock series, “Hart to Hart“, Clarkson told Hart she had “no bar” for a successful relationship since she didn’t witness any as a child.
“If you’re not shown that bar at a young age, you don’t know, partner-wise, what really to look for. And I thought I did…there’s no (example) of how you should be treated, how a relationship should look like, all of that. I think, unfortunately, statistically, a lot of us go through it,” Clarkson said.
Clarkson’s Estranged Father Passed Away in 2019
Clarkson has written songs about her strained relationship with her father, including “Piece By Piece,” which is also a tribute to what a great father her ex-husband is. The final lyrics in the heartwrenching refrain are, “piece by piece, he restored my faith that a man can be kind and a father could stay.”
In 2019, Clarkson told Forbes that her estranged father had passed away. “The Voice” coach said that it now “sucks to sing” the song “Piece By Piece” live because the way she feels about her father has “evolved.”
While on tour, she said to her audience about the song, “Once you have kids, it’s one of those things. I can’t even fathom about not sticking around and caring. I just can’t even fathom.”
