Kelly Clarkson confesses she knew her marriage with ex-husband won’t work

Kelly Clarkson has recently revealed she knew “in her heart” her marriage with ex-husband Brandan Blackstock wasn’t working.

Speaking on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show, Kelly recalled going to marriage counselling to save her marriage with Brandan.

“I desperately want to make this happen. But I think I knew in my heart it just wasn’t going to,” said the 41-year-old.

The singer stated, “I literally said to my therapist, and it wasn't even, honestly, we weren't even divorced.”

“We weren't separated then. It was like, when we first started talking, it was marriage counselling,” shared the Breakaway crooner.

Kelly pointed out that she was trying to make it work.

“We're trying to figure it out but I think I knew in my heart it just wasn't going to,” remarked the American Idol alum.

The Because of You songstress confessed she didn’t understand how people would remain positive amid the heartbreak.

“And you're like, Shut up. At the time, you're just like, ‘I don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't want to hear all the bumper stickers you're about to feed me’,” asserted the singer.

Kelly disclosed that most people don’t go to therapy in Texas however, she’s glad she went through this experience.

“It's very helpful to have a trained professional that knows how to navigate you through rough seas, and it's a roller-coaster,” she added.

Meanwhile, the former couple share a nine-year-old daughter, River Rose, and a seven-year-old son, Remington Alexander.
