Kelly Clarkson has officially changed her name for her "personal life"

Behind closed doors, Kelly Clarkson is no more!

The 39-year-old singer has officially changed her name to Kelly Brianne, according to court documents.

"There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted," state court documents.

"The Decree is signed and filed. The Petitioner’s name is changed from KELLY BRIANNE CLARKSON to KELLY BRIANNE."

The American Idol winner filed documents requesting a legal name change in February, citing her "desire" to adjust her moniker as "my new name more fully reflects who I am."

However, Clarkson reassured her fans that her new name is for her personal life and wouldn't impact her career.

"I just kept my middle name for my personal life. I'm still Kelly Clarkson," she told reporters on the red carpet at the American Song Contest premiere in Los Angeles.

"I don’t think I can change Clarkson at this point. I’m 20 years in!"

The move comes three weeks after Clarkson finalised her divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The two split in June 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage.

As part of their agreement, Clarkson agreed to give Blackstock a one-time payment of just over $1.3 million in addition to monthly child support payments of $45,601.
