The past couple of months haven’t allegedly been great for Kelly Clarkson.

In its April 18 issue, Globe claimed that Clarkson has been down in the dumps because of her divorce from Brandon Blackstock. And the singer is also struggling to find love, which has taken a toll on her.

Family and friends of Clarkson have allegedly been planning a surprise birthday party for her since she will be turning 40 on April 24. But they have been getting hints that the American Idol winner isn’t in the mood to celebrate her special day.

“She’s in no mood to celebrate. She’s hit rock bottom because she blames herself for all these problems, which is ridiculous. People try telling her that, but she doesn’t believe them. She can’t sleep, she cries a lot, and feels alone,” the source said.

The insider also claimed that Clarkson is dealing with the downside of her decision to legally change her name to Kelly Brianne.

“A lot of people think it’s a mistake for Kelly to change her name because of the hassle it will cause for everyone on her show and on The Voice. But she doesn’t like herself too much these days,” the source said.

What’s worse, Clarkson is still dealing with the fallout of her marriage to Brandon Blackstock. Even though she recently won full custody of her children, the singer is still required to pay her ex-husband $160,000 monthly.

The fallout of her marriage has been traumatizing for Clarkson. And she thinks it’s one of the reasons why she has not been lucky in finding love again.

“She’s been in therapy but it doesn’t seem to be working. She doesn’t just want a new name; she wants a new life. But she’s kidding herself if she thinks that along will change anything. It’s her attitude she needs to change,” the source said.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt.

There’s no indication that Clarkson has been struggling with her life in general. And even though it’s upsetting having to pay Blackstock a huge sum monthly, Clarkson seems to be getting by.

As of late, the award-winning singer has not yet expressed her desire to date. So, it’s not true that she’s struggling to find someone to date.
