Kelly Clarkson loves showing off her family on social media and the red carpet — one of the many reasons we adore the singer. But after the “Breakaway” songstress filed for divorce from her husband, Brandon Blackstock, after nearly seven years of dating, fans are stunned. The two married in Tennessee in October 2013 after two years of dating, bringing their families together with their union. Blackstock already shared two children, Savannah and Seth, with ex-wife Melissa Ashworth.
Clarkson and Blackstock welcomed daughter River Rose on June 12, 2014, and son Remington Alexander, who was born April 12, 2016, and Clarkson went on to share picture-perfect updates of the adorable family throughout the years. Even though Clarkson’s marriage is through, fans can’t help but reminisce on the family’s good times. Scroll through for adorable moments from Clarkson and Blackstock’s blended brood.

Movie Premieres
In April 2019, Clarkson brought her family with her to the premiere of UglyDolls, with all six of them posing for photos on the red carpet. The American Idol alum spoke with Redbook in 2016 about her mom guilt back in 2016.
“If you’re a mom, you want to be with your kid every day,” Clarkson said at the time. “You don’t want to miss a moment, you want her to need you and want you and not want somebody else. But I think it’s really important not only for my little girl and our 15-year-old girl and our boys to see that a woman is capable of kicking ass while also being a kickass mom. I’m not gonna BS you, that’s hard.”
The singer added: “There are days where I cry and I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I can handle all this!’ or get it all done. But at the end of the day, 99 percent of the time, it’s awesome and it’s worth it, and that’s what I say to myself.”
