Kelly Clarkson, the vivacious TV star and singer, is gradually stepping back into the dating scene, three years following her tumultuous split from Brandon Blackstock. While the dust from their separation has settled, Clarkson's inner circle is eager to see her find happiness once again. An insider shared, "Her friends and colleagues are all itching to set her up and she's excited to go on some dates." However, Clarkson isn't in a hurry. She's keen on embracing her singlehood, stating, "She's ready to smile again and get out there and have some fun."
The 41-year-old singer had previously expressed her contentment with being single. In a candid video from September, she remarked, "Do I have a boyfriend? No! And not looking. You know why? I love being single." Clarkson, a mother of two, emphasized the challenges of starting over after envisioning a lifetime with someone. Her life is bustling with her children, pets, and multiple professional commitments. Yet, she's found solace and strength in her independence.
Clarkson's journey post-divorce hasn't been without its challenges. She recently relocated to New York to host her talk show and has been candid about her healing process. Sharing her mantra for moving forward, she said, "In all honesty, I think it's just happiness and really making sure you're surrounding yourself with people that, you know, you share similar things." She believes in surrounding oneself with uplifting individuals and focusing on what brings joy. If something doesn't contribute to one's happiness or well-being, she advises, "stop doing it."
The "Stronger" songstress's move to the East Coast has been a refreshing change. Despite her Texas roots, she's fallen in love with the Big Apple. She expressed her fondness for the city, saying, "I love living here... I love walking around." Her children, too, have taken a liking to their new home, especially the adventures on the subway.
In addition to her emotional and geographical shifts, Clarkson has been on a health journey. Sources close to her have noted a renewed sense of confidence in the star. "Kelly says getting back at Brandon wasn't her motivation," said an insider. However, the positive changes in her life have given her a "smug sense of satisfaction." Compliments on her appearance have been pouring in, boosting her morale. The once reserved singer is now confidently flaunting her figure, embracing fashion in a way she hadn't before.
In the midst of personal transformations and new beginnings, Kelly Clarkson remains an inspiration. Her resilience, authenticity, and zest for life remind us all of the power of self-love and the promise of brighter days ahead.
