Kelly Clarkson Gets Candid About Being Single: 'I'm So Glad I'm Going Home Alone'
Kelly Clarkson made a bold statement about her love life during her Las Vegas residency show at Caesars Palace. The 44-year-old singer didn't hold back when explaining why she remains single, throwing subtle shade at other people's relationships.
According to Clarkson, many people around her are making singleness look really good. She added that when she sees other couples, she feels relieved to be going home alone. The Since U Been Gone star emphasized that there's no drama in her household compared to what she observes elsewhere.
The Grammy winner also discussed the challenge of keeping the spark alive in long-term relationships, calling it the hardest part. She noted that maintaining magic and avoiding monotony requires constant effort, and she's not willing to settle for less.
As fans know, Kelly Clarkson separated from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in 2020, with their divorce finalized in 2022. The former couple shares two children: daughter River Rose and son Remington Alexander. Since the split, Clarkson has been open about the difficulties of dating under public scrutiny.
Last summer, the American Idol winner already said dating was off the table, describing it as a dumpster fire in the spotlight. Her latest comments reinforce her decision to stay single for now, prioritizing her peace and her kids.
Fans reacted with mixed feelings: some applauded her honesty and independence, while others thought she was too harsh. However, most agree that after a painful divorce, Kelly Clarkson deserves to set her own boundaries and take a break from romance.
