US Weekly, which was first to obtain the docs, reports Clarkson wrote that she has a "desire" to adjust her moniker because "my new name more fully reflects who I am."

Kelly Clarkson Reveals She's Quarantining at Home with Her Kids: 'I'm So Broken' Late last month, The Kelly Clarkson Show host, 39, reached an agreement with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock regarding their Montana ranch, which had been a sticking point in their divorce proceedings. The "Stronger" singer, 39, agreed to give the talent manager, 45, 5.12% percent of the property, equaling $908,800 of its total $17,750,000 value, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The documents also made clear that Blackstock does not have any ownership interest in the property adjoining the ranch that Clarkson solely owns. Blackstock had previously argued that the home was "marital property," and he continued to live there even after he and Clarkson split in 2020. Kelly Clarkson.
