Kelly Clarkson Dating: Is She Dating Anyone in 2022?

Kelly Brianne Clarkson was born on April 24, 1982, in Fort Worth, Texas. She is the youngest of three kids, and when her parents broke up, she was separated from her two older brothers and sisters.

Kelly lived with her mother, while her brother and sister moved in with other family members. Clarkson grew up in a Southern Baptist family, and the church was a big part of her early life. She first learned to sing when she joined the chorus in middle school.

Clarkson participated in many musicals and talent shows at her high school when she was there. Kelly Clarkson's skill as a singer led many schools to offer her scholarships, but she turned them all down. She wanted to focus all of her time and energy on her music career, and she wanted to

The Career of Kelly Clarkson

After graduating high school in 2000, Clarkson made it a priority to make a demo reel. She worked at many different jobs to pay for the recording sessions, which got the attention of some record labels.

She rejected several job offers because she didn't want to be labeled and sold. In 2001, she moved to Los Angeles because she thought she would have more chances there.

During this challenging time, she worked as a hostess at a movie theatre and as a waitress at a bar. Even though she made a 5-track demo reel, every record label she went to turned her down. She had to go back home because she ran out of money.

Who is Kelly Clarkson Dating?

After a long and drawn-out divorce, Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock are no longer married. That means she can finally care for herself, like going out on dates again. Us Weekly says this is precisely what the pop singer is doing: “Kelly is now looking for a date.”

It can't be accessible to date anyone, especially if you are famous. There are dating apps for celebrities like Raya, but Clarkson is doing things the old-fashioned way by having a friend set her up.

The person said, “She's being set up with friends and is ready to date again.”It's probably the only way for her to prioritize her time, with her close friends setting up the dates.

The star, who is 39 years old, is B-U-S-Y. She also has primary custody of their two kids, River Rose, 7, and Remington Alexander, 5, and is a judge on The Voice, has her talk show, and co-hosts American Song Contest with Snoop Dogg.

Clarkson doesn't have much time to swipe left and right, so it's a great idea to have her wingmen (and ladies) weed out potential dates. After Blackstock fought their divorce every step, this should be an exciting new start for the “Breakaway” singer (even with an iron-clad prenuptial agreement).
