Kelly Clarkson opened up a bit on her show earlier this week about co-parenting kids with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. She discussed the issue while interviewing Khloe Kardashian.

Kelly admitted it was tough saying, "You speak about co-parenting, and I'm doing that right now too. It's tough. ... I know with me and Brandon, it's just a difficult thing because we're in different places, and it's like, we both agree on the main things, but it's a hard thing when you're not together all the time, for me personally."

She added that she and her estranged husband are focusing on their kids during their divorce. Clarkson said, "As long as you make sure it's about the children and their best interests, then we're both on board."

Clarkson and Blackstock wed in October of 2013. She filed for divorce in Los Angeles on June 4, 2020, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have two children; 6-year-old daughter River Rose and son Remington Alexander, 4.

A judge awarded Clarkson primary custody of the couple's children in November of 2020.
