As Kelly Clarkson’s divorce from Brandon Blackstock continues, there’s one – not so small – detail that has everybody’s attention... her jaw-dropping salary.
Court documents revealed the 39-year-old’s earnings – which totalled a whopping $1.9 million per month. The paycheque included fees from her appearance on NBC’s The Voice and her talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. After the court ruled that she must pay Blackstock almost $200,000 in support, a source told US Weekly: “It was packaged together when the forensic accountant testified during the OSC (order to show cause) trial for temporary spousal and child support.”
“The prenup is not being contested, despite reports”, the source added.
The pair are yet to reach a “formal settlement” in the divorce, but it could happen pretty soon. The ex-couple should be declared legally single in a “matter of days.”
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Clarkson opened up about her separation, after nearly seven years of marriage.
She said: “There’s a lot of hearts involved here, and you know, that’s the thing that’s been kind of hard to navigate is I am an open book, but at some point, I’m a mama bear more than I am a person in the public eye.
So I care one hundred per cent more about my children than I do anything else on this planet. So that’s been the hard thing of, like, yes, I’m willing to share my experience, and yes, it is the worst.
“I mean, the past few months have been horribly sad. But at the same time, I have to think, ‘Hmm, like, what I say has a domino effect in other people’s lives’.”
Clarkson and Blackstock share two children, River, 7, and Remington, 5. Reports claim that Clarkson previously asked the court to block the spousal support as Blackstock initially sought $436,000 a month in both spousal and child support.
The Piece by Piece singer is currently filming the second series of her talk show with hopes of getting a significant raise, “Kelly is renegotiating her talk show contract and wants a substantial increase”, the source added.
