NEWSKelly Clarkson Flaunts Fab Curves In First Solo Snaps Since Settling Divorce From Brandon Blackstock
Kelly Clarkson is looking good and most likely feeling even better after finally settling her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.
News that the former flames' divorce has been finalized made headlines late on Tuesday, March 8, around the same time the "Stronger" performer shared stunning solo shots of herself from the 75th ACM Awards.
Rocking a slim-fitted long sleeve black dress with a slit by her shoulder, Clarkson smiled ear-to-ear as she faced the camera head-on in one shot and from the side in the second. "Last night's look at the @acmawards," the single celeb captioned her solo pics.
Only hours before, Clarkson shared a clip of her tribute performance at the award show to "the national treasure" Dolly Parton, as she wrote in the caption of her singing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You."
The 39-year-old appears to be doing better than ever after closing the recent chapter of her life with Blackstock.
According to their divorce agreement, Clarkson — who shares River Rose, 7, and Remington Alexander, 5, with Blackstock — will pay the father of her children a massive one-time payment of just over $1.3 million, in addition to a monthly child support payment of $45,601, starting on February 1, per The Blast.
The "Since U Been Gone" singer will also have to pay Blackstock $115,000 in spousal support per month until January 31, 2024, according to People.
While the child support she was previously ordered to pay remained the same, the spousal support in their settlement is lower than what she was initially ordered to pay last June, which was $150,000 per month.

Clarkson and Blackstock, 45, agreed on joint custody but under the condition that River and Remington with live at the musician's L.A. residence. Another stipulation of the agreement is that their kiddos will get the COVID-19 vaccine, since they'll be traveling out of state to visit their father, who will reportedly be living at the former couple's Montana ranch for the time being.
While Clarkson was awarded sole ownership of both their Montana ranches, her ex will be paying her $2,000 a month while he stays there until June, it was reported.
Meanwhile, the mother-of-two was awarded their family pets, multiple cars and a flight simulator. As for Blackstock, he will get the duo's "farm cattle, livestock, stock dogs, and horses," as well as multiple vehicles, including several CAT snowmobiles and an ATV. The Texas native was also reportedly awarded the golf stimulator and a few Patek Philippe watches.
The "Because of You" songstress filed for divorce from her ex in June 2020 following their near seven-year marriage. In July 2021, Clarkson requested to be declared legally divorced, with her citing in court documents that she and Blackstock "both deserve the opportunity to build a new life."
The American Idol icon was declared legally single in August of last year.
