Kelly Clarkson Shares Real Reason She’s Not Ready to Date Again

Kelly Clarkson won’t forget about the ones she loves most.

As the American Idol winner navigates this next chapter with her kids, 12-year-old River and 10-year-old Remy, whom she shared with late ex Brandon Blackstock, she is making sure her priority remains with them—not with the dating pool.

As she explained to Las Culturistas hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers of why she’s not dating at the moment, “My kids right now, I think there there’s a lot behind that, but I think that would rock their boat a little bit.”

Plus, she’s enjoying her time as Miss Independent. 

“Honestly, this is not a bulls–t answer, I love my life right now,” she added during her appearance on the Sept. 30 episode. “Like, it just got like to where I am not exhausted at every point of it. And I feel like if you’re going to be in a relationship, you have to be willing to give some of your time up. And I am unwilling.”
