There is a strong desire among Kelly Clarkson to collaborate with Kevin Costner, who has recently become single. The “American Idol” alum is allegedly actively attempting to convince the “Yellowstone” actor to ask her out on a date.
"She's crushing on him big time and making it known in his circle that she'd like to date him if he's game," an unnamed source told Life & Style Magazine.
Now that the 69-year-old is back on the market following his divorce from his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, who is 50 years old, Kelly is said to be looking into him for her first serious relationship since her divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2022.
To recall, the divorce petition was submitted by Kelly on June 4, 2020, citing irreconcilable disagreements between the two parties. In the initial document, the “Breakaway” singer requested that the court uphold a prenuptial agreement, guarantee that she would not be required to pay Brandon spousal support, and also provide that both parties would be responsible for covering their own legal bills.
Additionally, Kelly made a request to have her last name reinstated after purchasing Blackstock's after the couple tied the knot. Over the next few months, the songstress spoke openly about the divorce.
Kelly, obviously, did not share specific details, especially anything pertaining to her kids, but she was candid about her feelings and the challenges of going through such a personal thing in the public eye.
In an Oct. 2020 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kelly called the split “horribly sad.” “The thing that’s been kind of hard to navigate is I am an open book, but at some point, I’m a mama bear more than I am a person in the public eye. So I care 100 percent more about my children than I do anything else on this planet,” “The Kelly Clarkson Show” host stated.
"She thinks he'd be perfect. He shares her love of ranch life and the Old West, and she thinks he has real depth!" the insider said.
It added that, when the Oscar winner made an appearance on Kelly's talk program a month ago to promote his new film, "Horizon: An American Saga," the two of them established an "instant" chemistry with one another.
"Everyone noticed how well they got along, and now Kelly can't stop talking about him. She likes a guy with a little mileage on him and she thinks Kevin's a sweetheart and a gentleman!" the informant divulged.
Kevin's net worth of $250 million would be an undeniable step up for the newly slimmed-down “The Voice” coach, who recently claimed that she shed 60 pounds on diet medications. This comes after a contentious divorce from her ex-music manager, Brandon, who is 47 years old.
"Kelly is feeling really good these days. She's much flirtier and she poured it on thick for Kevin. She insists she doesn't give a hoot how much money a man's got, but a man with a bank balance bigger than hers would be a welcome change. She hopes he'll take the hint!" the tipster furthered.
Kelly Clarkson has yet to comment on the claims that she badly wants to date Kevin Costner, especially now that the “Yellowstone” star is single and ready to mingle. So, devoted supporters of the “Since You’ve Been Gone” hitmaker should take all these unverified reports with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
