Clarkson earns $1.9 million per month as the host of The Kelly Clarkson Show and a judge on The Voice, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. Before their split, the American Idol alum was concerned that “Brandon was just using her for her money and lifestyle,” according to a source at Us Weekly.

“At the end, the marriage was really, really bad.” Kelly felt she could no longer rely on Brandon. “She had such a lot of questions that he couldn’t answer,” said the insider. “She just wasn’t willing to turn a blind eye any longer.” According to the source, Clarkson and Blackstock had “tremendous resentment” toward the end of their marriage.

Clarkson has purchased a $5.4 million home in Toluca Lake, California, after experiencing “so much tension in the family home” she shared with Blackstock. According to the source, “buying a new house for the kids was also a new beginning for Kelly.” “It was liberation.”
