Kelly was married to Brandon Blackstock for nearly seven years, before the singer filed for divorce in June 2020. “Because I’ve been through a couple divorces in my family, I just don’t like to put any weight on it. It can happen; it doesn’t have to happen”, she explained.

“For my kids, I definitely would never even think about it until they’re out of my house”, added Clarkson. She and Blackstock share daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington “Remy” Alexander, 7. 

The “Because Of You” songstress also said in the interview that she is not interested in finding her soulmate anytime soon. “Dating sucks. It’s so awkward. I was single until I was, like, 30, and I forgot how really good at that I am”. 

“I told a friend [that my future partner] would have to be an individual that brings their own life to the table without needing anything from me. It’s far more romantic to say, ‘I want you, but I don’t need anything.’ I’m really good right now, I’m having a good time”, added Kelly.
