As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock back in June 2020. The two had been married for 7 years and share 2 children named River Rose and Remington.

The split has been extremely contentious due to Blackstock having been Clarkson’s manager for years. After the divorce was filed, Clarkson’s former management company accused her of owing $1.4 million in unpaid commissions.

She fired back accusing them of violating talent agent laws and is fighting them with the California Labor Commission. She denies owing them a dime. The case is still ongoing.
