Former coach on The Voice Kelly Clarkson opened up about her divorce and revealed what helped her get through it. The superstar and longtime coach of The Voice is not returning to the NBC singing competition for the first time in four years as the show prepares for its 22nd season this fall. Kelly joined the show in 2018 and has been coaching ever since, but has recently decided to take a hiatus. The Voice announced Camila Cabello would take Kelly's place as a coach for the new season, and she will be sitting alongside veteran coaches Blake Shelton, John Legend, and Gwen Stefani.
In 2020, Kelly filed for divorce from her now ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who was country singer Reba McEntire's former stepson and Kelly's manager. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. The couple had two children together, of which Kelly won primary custody before they finalized their divorce in 2022. Since joining The Voice, Kelly has been all over NBC, including her daytime talk show and, most recently, hosting American Song Contest with rapper Snoop Dogg.
