Kelly Clarkson says life’s ‘been a little of a dumpster’ since filing for divorce

(CNN) – Life appeared to have been going pretty well for Kelly Clarkson last year, but now she’s singing a different tune.

In June the singer and talk show host filed for divorce from her husband of almost seven years, Brandon Blackstock.

She recently talked to “Today” about how things have been going.”I mean, it’s no secret my life has been a little bit of a dumpster,” Clarkson said. “Personally, it’s been a little hard the last couple of months.

“I’ve been talking to friends that have been through divorce,” she added. “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.

“Clarkson cited “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce filing from Blackstock, a music manager with whom she shares two young children, River Rose and Remington Alexander.

Clarkson and Blackstock have remained cordial publicly and she thanked him this year after she won a Daytime Emmy for best entertainment talk show host for the first season of “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
