Kelly Clarkson’s Love Life Still Plagued By ‘Overwhelming’ Schedule

Singer Kelly Clarkson could also be walking away from “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” but that doesn’t mean that she’s walking away from the entertainment industry. Following the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, the “Stronger” singer recognizes that she must spend time together with her two young children. Although she is putting family first, she is trying to seek out a balance between her personal life and her profession.

As The Blast previously reported, the “Behind These Hazel Eyes” singer is leaving her talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” after seven seasons. Clarkson delivered the news in an emotional Instagram post on February 2, thanking her fans for “allowing our show to be an element of your lives” and emphasizing that it wasn’t “easy” to walk away.

“This was not a simple decision,” she wrote on the time. “Stepping away from the each day schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels obligatory and right for this next chapter of our lives.” She went on to write down, “I need to thank y’all a lot for allowing our show to be an element of your lives.”

Last summer, Clarkson’s ex-husband, music manager Brandon Blackson, passed away at age 48 after a 3-year battle with cancer. The loss was particularly difficult for his or her daughter, River, 11, and their son, Remington, 9.

Although she’s going to still appear on season 29 of “The Voice,” which premieres on February 23, Clarkson desires to concentrate on her family and maybe even find love again. One insider told Us Weekly that she is slowly opening herself as much as dating again.

“Kelly’s been through a lot in her life, and he or she just pushes on,” the source divulged. “Quite a lot of that comes from her selfless nature. She has individuals who rely upon her, and he or she puts them first.”

Many fans don’t realize how much work went into the show behind the scenes, especially considering her fan-favorite Kellyoke performances. While they were enjoyed by fans, many didn’t notice that Clarkson was struggling to maintain up with the demanding workload behind the scenes.

“Kelly didn’t realize how all-consuming the show could be,” a second source told the publication. “It’s her entire life.”

The source went on to say that she was “surprised” by how successful the show went on to be, because it won 24 Daytime Emmy Awards during its seven-year run. As well as, she interviewed some high-profile figures, including political figures like Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden, in addition to actresses like Meg Ryan and Viola Davis, on her show.

 The insider added, “The talk show became greater than she initially bargained for, and left her with little time to pursue the rest.”

The source added that the “A Moment Like This” singer is looking forward to releasing latest music.

“Kelly asked herself, ‘Do I need to spend the remaining of my life doing this?’ She desires to concentrate on things that she really loves,” the source shared. Along with returning to music, they noted that she can be very busy together with her Kelly Clarkson Home furniture and residential décor line.

“When [Kelly leaves the show], she will split her time between live performances and her merchandising deals and take a step back,” they added.

Although she’s made a whole lot of friends throughout the music industry, she keeps a detailed circle. “Kelly’s an actual homebody,” the primary source added. “When she isn’t working, which is rare, she likes to be home, watching movies, and hanging out. That’s how she unwinds.”

Nevertheless, she can be open to dating when the time is correct. “Kelly would like to have a partner, and she’s going to when the time is correct,” the insider continued. “She has a lot on her shoulders, and it does get overwhelming, and it’s nice to have someone to lean on. But I can’t imagine her bringing someone into their lives at once.”

Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean she plans to get married again. “Kelly jokes she never desired to get married the primary time around,” the source revealed. “And she or he’s pretty open about how badly her divorce affected her.”
