人物:凯莉·克拉克森宣布离婚(1)（在线收听）

Kelly Clarkson was smitten the first time she laid eyes on Brandon Blackstock.

凯莉·克拉克森第一次见到布兰登·布莱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年乡村音乐学院奖彩排的后台，这位刚成为歌手的单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.

说她需要和一个“牧马人”而不是“穿紧身牛仔裤”类型的男人约会，这时音乐经理走进了房间。

“I’m like, ‘Like that guy!’ Super hot, just normal and funny,” Clarkson recalled to People in 2013.

“我说，‘就像他一样！’超级火辣，很普通也很有趣。”2013年，克拉克森对《人物》杂志回忆道。

“In my head I’m like,‘Oh my God, we are totally getting married.’”

“在我的脑海里，我在想，‘天哪，我一定要和他结婚。’”

Seven years later Clarkson’s prophecy came true when she eloped with Blackstock in Tennessee.

七年后，克拉克森在田纳西州与布莱克斯托克私奔，她预言成真。

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.

但是现在，七年左右的时间过去了，6月4日，这位明星做出了一个让粉丝甚至是他们的很多朋友都出乎意料的举动：申请离婚。

“It just came out of nowhere.

“这太突然了。

Their marriage was so strong,” says a source close to the couple, who are parents to daughter River Rose, 6, and Remington Alexander, 4.

他们的婚姻非常牢固。”一位与这对夫妇关系亲近的消息来源说，凯莉和布兰登有两个女儿——6岁的瑞芙·罗斯和4岁的雷明顿·亚历山大。

“She loved being a wife and having a big family.”

“她喜欢妻子这个身份，也喜欢拥有一个大家庭。”

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.

不过，有消息指出，繁忙的事业给他们的婚姻带来了压力，而在过去几个月里，当他们在蒙大拿农场里自我隔离时，这种紧张关系达到了破裂的临界点。

“It was a stressful time,” says a source. “(Quarantining in Montana) exacerbated any issues.”

“那段时间压力很大，”一位消息人士说。“(在蒙大拿隔离)加剧了所有问题。”

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岁的克拉克森和43岁的布莱克斯托克因其淳朴的生活和婚姻态度而受到粉丝和朋友的欢迎，他们似乎是天生一对。

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.

尽管他们第一次见面时布莱克斯托克已经结婚了，但在2012年的超级碗比赛中，他和第一个《美国偶像》冠军、后来成为流行巨星的克拉克森再次见面时，布莱克斯托克刚刚离婚。
