Kelly Clarkson’s Ex-Husband Refusing to Leave Their Montana Home Appears to Have Paid Off

(YahooNews)- The ongoing saga between Kelly Clarkson and ex Brandon Blackstock over their Montana ranch has finally concluded. It’s an ending that is still somewhat baffling given the fact that the former music manager fought to the bitter end until the pop star gave him a small slice of the property — and honestly, it’s small compared to the current $17,750,000 value.

So if Clarkson decides to finally list the ranch, Blackstock stands to earn around $908,800 from the sale. It’s not much compared to how much the “Stronger” singer would pocket, but it’s certainly a substantial sum — and it would allow him to find a home of his own. He told the judge last fall that “he [didn’t] have the financial means to afford to purchase a residence of his own,” per Us Weekly, so this final step will hopefully let both parties move on for good.
