The star has never shied away from opening up about her divorce from him, and the emotional toll it took on her.

The couple were first married in 2013, and had two children, River Rose and Remington Alexander. She filed for divorce in 2020 and finalized their divorce earlier this year.

Kelly opened up more about the process of moving on from someone you love during Thursday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, in a candid conversation with Khloé Kardashian.

The reality television star has had her fair share of ups and downs in her love life, particularly with Tristan Thompson, and so the host began her question about moving on with: "You share this season that you are training yourself to 'unlove' your ex…"

Then the singer joked that there might be an ulterior motive to her asking, cheekily saying: "How do you do that? Asking for a friend…" and after the two engaged in laughter, she added: "I don't know, do we have any paper or pens?"

The former couple started dating in 2011 and became engaged a year later

Before Khloé could get to her answer, she was quick to sympathize with her over the process as she revealed: "It's hard! I think it's the most ridiculous thing sometimes."

The two underwent various discussions over custody, spousal support and their property

Kelly could not have been more transparent about where she stands with her ex-husband, confessing: "I think I might still love that person, I don't know if that goes away…"

In turn, the fellow mom-of-two had some sound advice, telling her: "We all change and evolve where, you know, sometimes that's not… it's just not a right fit for you," which Kelly wholeheartedly agreed with.
