Over the past few years, Kelly Clarkson has been occupied with her divorce from Brandon Blackstock, but is she now ready to hit the dating scene?
On a recent episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” she told guest Shannen Doherty, “I think I need a little more work on me in a relationship to make sure I take care of myself at the same time as somebody else.”
Clarkson noted how “hard” it is to go through a divorce, explaining, “you thought you were going to spend forever with this person.”
For now, Kelly emphasized that she is “still in the stage of really enjoying me.”
“I love me and I love spending time with me,” Clarkson went on. “It’s really great. It feels powerful!”
When Shannen brought up how comforting dogs can be after a breakup, Kelly agreed, adding, “But ever since I’ve been separated, now divorced, my dogs have been ruling my bed. I think they would hate the next person who came in.”
Kelly and Brandon finalized their divorce in 2022, two years after calling it quits.
