Kelly Clarkson recently opened up about her challenges with dating since her divorce. During her performance in Las Vegas, she shared, “Dating can be very difficult, which is why I don’t.” She expressed that dealing with the pressures of public life only makes things harder.
Clarkson has been single since 2021, following a tumultuous divorce from Brandon Blackstock, which was finalized in 2022. The couple, who were married in 2013, share two children. Clarkson has primary custody but was ordered to pay Blackstock $45,000 monthly in child support.
Living in New York now, Clarkson balances her busy life as a single mother while focusing on her career. She mentioned, “I’ve got to focus right now. My kids are involved in so many activities.” Despite the difficulties, she remains committed to being a present parent, drawing encouragement from her own mother, who was also a single mom.
