‘People, like, could be bad for you in a certain time. And I think that everybody just goes, “Oh, well that means they’re bad.” Well it doesn’t necessarily mean that, it just means that you’re on different paths. And I think that that’s okay.
‘Everybody’s on a different learning curve.’
Kelly filed for divorce from Brandon earlier this year after seven years of marriage and two children together.

The singer previously said she was not going to be fully transparent about the split on account of the two children she shares with Brandon, daughter River, six, and son Remington, four.
The pop star told the Los Angeles Times in September: ‘I am a very open person, but I’m not going to be able to be truly open about this in certain aspects because there’s kids involved.’
Since the split, Kelly has been keeping busy with her career.
On top of hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show, she is also a coach on The Voice.
