Kelly Clarkson Reveals The Powerful Moment She Decided To End Her Marriage
Kelly Clarkson is opening up about her difficult decision to divorce.
The singer revealed that she decided to end her marriage after realizing that the whole family was unhappy and that they all “deserved better.”
The revelation came after a conversation with author Glennon Doyle, who wrote a best-selling memoir about her own divorce. Doyle said on Clarkson’s show. “I stayed in a broken marriage for my children, and one day I was looking at my daughter, and I thought, ‘Oh my god, I am staying in this marriage for her. But would I want this marriage for her?”
Clarkson shared that’s what struck a chord with her when she first read Doyle’s book. “It was that thing I needed to see to make a step in my life, and not just for me but also for my current husband,” Clarkson said. “I’m like, ‘This isn’t happiness … Both of us deserve better. And neither one of us would want this for our children.’

Kelly Clarkson's Best 'Kellyoke' Performances of 2023 (So Far)
Kelly Clarkson keeps cranking out amazing covers in her Kellyoke series. The singer and talk show host never fails to entertain with her genre-spanning covers. From Destiny’s Child to Lenny Kravitz to Chris Stapleton, you don’t know what song she will put her own spin on next.
Clarkson previously released an album of six of her covers from 2022 after “singing over 500” on The Kelly Clarkson Show, which she said was “near-impossible” to choose. The Kellyoke album was released in June of 2022 and features the following songs:
- “Blue Bayou” by Linda Ronstadt
- “Call Out My Name” by The Weeknd
- “Happier Than Ever” by Billie Eilish
- “Queen Of The Night” by Whitney Houston
- “Trampoline” by SHAED and Zayn
- “Fake Plastic Trees” by Radiohead
Announcing her upcoming 10th studio album, Chemistry, the singer said she didn’t want “everybody” to think that her emotions could just be simplified as angry or sad. She explained in a video, “This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship, and a whole relationship shouldn’t be just brought down to one thing. So there’s the good, the bad, the ugly thing kinda going on in it.”
In addition to new music, Clarkson will also be heading to Las Vegas, singing fan favorites and new songs, for a 10-show residency starting July 28.
