The friend added: "Kelly is thrilled that this nightmare with Brandon is finally winding down — and she can't wait to cut loose."

The former flames tied the knot in 2013, and Clarkson filed for divorce in 2020 due to "irreconcilable differences," which allegedly included her belief that Blackstock was with her for her money.
