Kelly Clarkson was smitten the first time she laid eyes on Brandon Blackstock.
凱莉·克拉克森第一次見到布蘭登·布萊克斯托克就被他迷住了。
Backstage at rehearsals for the 2006 Academy of Country Music Awards, the newly single singer was commiserating with a girlfriend
在2006年鄉村音樂學院獎彩排的后臺，這位剛成為歌手的單身女士在向一位女性朋友表示同情，
about needing to date a “Wranglers” instead of a“skinny jeans” type of guy when the music manager walked into the room.
說她需要和一個“牧馬人”而不是“穿緊身牛仔褲”類型的男人約會，這時音樂經理走進了房間。
“I’m like, ‘Like that guy!’ Super hot, just normal and funny,” Clarkson recalled to People in 2013.
“我說，‘就像他一樣！’超級火辣，很普通也很有趣。”2013年，克拉克森對《人物》雜志回憶道。
“In my head I’m like,‘Oh my God, we are totally getting married.’”
“在我的腦海里，我在想，‘天哪，我一定要和他結婚。’”
Seven years later Clarkson’s prophecy came true when she eloped with Blackstock in Tennessee.
七年后，克拉克森在田納西州與布萊克斯托克私奔，她預言成真。
But now, nearly seven years after that, on June 4, the star made a move that fans—and even many of the couple’s friends— never saw coming: filing for divorce.
但是現在，七年左右的時間過去了，6月4日，這位明星做出了一個讓粉絲甚至是他們的很多朋友都出乎意料的舉動：申請離婚。
“It just came out of nowhere.
“這太突然了。
Their marriage was so strong,” says a source close to the couple, who are parents to daughter River Rose, 6, and Remington Alexander, 4.
他們的婚姻非常牢固。”一位與這對夫婦關系親近的消息來源說，凱莉和布蘭登有兩個女兒——6歲的瑞芙·羅斯和4歲的雷明頓·亞歷山大。
“She loved being a wife and having a big family.”
“她喜歡妻子這個身份，也喜歡擁有一個大家庭。”
Still, sources point to busy careers that put strain on their marriage—and tensions that came to a breaking point over the past few months while they self-isolated on their Montana ranch.
不過，有消息指出，繁忙的事業給他們的婚姻帶來了壓力，而在過去幾個月里，當他們在蒙大拿農場里自我隔離時，這種緊張關系達到了破裂的臨界點。
“It was a stressful time,” says a source. “(Quarantining in Montana) exacerbated any issues.”
“那段時間壓力很大，”一位消息人士說。“(在蒙大拿隔離)加劇了所有問題。”
Embraced by fans and friends for their down-home approach to life and marriage, Clarkson, 38, and Blackstock, 43, seemed a couple meant to be.
38歲的克拉克森和43歲的布萊克斯托克因其淳樸的生活和婚姻態度而受到粉絲和朋友的歡迎，他們似乎是天生一對。
Though he was married when they first met, Blackstock was newly divorced when he and the first American Idol winner turned pop superstar reconnected at the Super Bowl in 2012.
盡管他們第一次見面時布萊克斯托克已經結婚了，但在2012年的超級碗比賽中，他和第一個《美國偶像》冠軍、后來成為流行巨星的克拉克森再次見面時，布萊克斯托克剛剛離婚。
