Kelly Clarkson Details Dating Life After Brandon Blackstock Divorce

“You hope you grow in the same direction if you stayed with someone long enough,” she continued. “It can be like this tug of war. It’s a difficult thing, especially if you’re not with the right person. You’re like, ‘Man, should it be this hard?’ And that’s kind of what this song is about. We all have people walking tight ropes sometimes and it’s not fair.”   

This isn’t the first time the “Love So Soft” star has shared insight into dating after her divorce. In fact, she recently told Jenna Bush Hager that she’s prioritizing balance in her life—and in her organization plan, meeting someone new isn’t always topping the list.

“I will say, I’m not not looking and I’m not looking,” she revealed on the May 6 episode of Today with Jenna and Friends. “I’m very busy. You get this as a mom. I’ve got to focus right now. My kids’ schedule, I feel like, is busier than mine. I’m running from my show to baseball practice. It’s a lot.”
