In the same interview, Clarkson's fellow \"Voice\" coach Gwen Stefani, who herself went through a very public divorce a few years ago, noted that Clarkson's “doing a really good job\" when it comes to handling her split in the glare of the spotlight.

\"I think it’s hard to be a public person. Now you add in a family … they didn’t choose it,\" Stefani shared. She has three children with her ex-husband, rocker Gavin Rossdale, and has been dating Blake Shelton for several years.

\"Kelly and I have been talking about this a lot. We’re so lucky to have music as an outlet for everything we all go through,\" Stefani added. \"Music is such therapy when you’re a writer.”
