Kelly Clarkson’s candid quotes about dating after a messy divorce

Kelly Clarkson has had a few difficult years after her divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2020 – and isn’t quite ready to go outside again.

“Do I have a boyfriend? No! And don’t look. You know why? I love being single,” Clarkson shared via one Instagram video in September 2023. “I have two kids, two dogs, three rabbits, a hamster, multiple jobs – there’s a lot going on. And you know, you think you’re going to spend the rest of your life with someone, but you’re not. That’s hard to start over.”

Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in June 2020 after almost seven years of marriage. The couple shares daughter River and son Remington together.

Following the news of their split, Clarkson and Blackstock were involved in a long legal battle over spousal support, custody of their children and Clarkson’s ranch in Montana. The pair eventually settled their divorce in March 2022.
