Kelly Clarkson has confessed to at times losing hope amid a tough 2020.
The Kelly Clarkson Show host filed for divorce from her husband Brandon Blackstock last month and has taken to social media to thank her talk show guests for helping to keep her spirits up amid this rocky year.
"Shout out 2 every single guest I've had while taping my show this summer," the Since U Been Gone singer wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.
"This year has been challenging, overwhelming &sometimes it feels like hope is lost," the Tweet continued, "BUT I have had the honor of meeting some incredible humans doing amazing things &keeping hope alive &I want 2 say THANK YOU (sic)."
Clarkson made the revelation the same day her estranged husband Blackstock responded to her divorce petition.
Blackstock, who will be represented by top celebrity attorney Samantha Spector, has agreed to Clarkson's request for joint physical and legal custody of their two kids, while his legal filing suggests he and the star plan to work out child support terms privately.
It's still not clear what led to the marriage split.
Clarkson and Blackstock abandoned Los Angeles when the coronavirus lockdown began and took their kids to a retreat in Montana, from where Clarkson shot footage for her daytime talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show.
She is now filming the show from her home in Los Angeles.
