Kelly Clarkson's longtime single status has plagued her for years, and has even led to speculation about her sexual orientation. Now, the singer has opened up and confessed that she's been secretly dating someone for quite some time!
Speaking on Toronto's CHFI 98.1 radio, Kelly spilled, "I have a new boyfriend. Well, not a new one ... I haven't dated in a while." The news comes as a bit of a surprise considering the 'American Idol' has been pressed about her love life in plenty of recent interviews and never once hinted at a current romance.
"Nobody's asked me flat out [if I have a boyfriend] ... They're just like, 'We heard you're engaged!' and I'm like, 'No, I'm not engaged,' so I just haven't actually given the whole truth," Clarkson explained.
Without a man on her arm, Kelly's battled rumors that she's a lesbian throughout the past few years. And after admitting that at age 29, she's actually never been in love, Kel faced the "old maid" stigma, too. "I'm from a small town so everyone's, like, married with children, having children or about to have children, so it's a little hard when you go home ... and that's why people think I'm gay," Kelly admitted during an interview on 'The View' back in October.
After revealing a "loser guy" was the inspiration behind her latest album 'Stronger,' the singer confessed her parents' divorce is at the root of her issues with men. "Divorce isn't fun. It affects relationships you get into when you are older. I think you have to work a little harder because you're constantly thinking it's probably not going to work out in the end," she said in an interview with Britain's Daily Mirror back in January.
Here's hoping Kelly has finally found the right guy to change her love luck!
