BRANDON KICKS BACK WHILE KELLY SCRAMBLES!

She fumes over funding her ex's lavish lifestyle

- 

A STRUGGLING Kelly Clarkson is working herself ragged on her talk show while her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock is living high on the hog with the millions he scored in their divorce, sources tell The National ENQUIRER!

Snitches say things have not been easy for Kelly, 42, since her 2020 split from her hubby of seven years.

Meanwhile, Brandon, 48, lives in a lavish $1.8 million home in Butte, Mont., and has access to Kelly's nearby ranch. As part of their divorce settlement, the former talent agent-who used to be Kelly's manager - was given a 5 percent share of the $17.75 million property.
