She also went on to say that her positive outlook drives her insane and sometimes she gets emotional about it and cries at night, adding that “you don’t really want to break their little spirit” because “you’re a force and that’s who you are,” explaining how she has to be strong for them.

It was reported that her children will be having to travel between Montana and California, now that she gained primary custody, but will still have to share joint physical and legal custody with Blackstock.

The Los Angeles based artist also said that divorce is much more complicated “as women,” because society expects for them to “take it all on,” however “it’s your babies that you worry about.”

Kelly shared how her kids are dealing with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, revealing that they love wearing masks, “because it’s Spider-Man and unicorns,” and they get to have fun with what they wear.
