Kelly Clarkson is single and loving it.

In fact, in the midst of her 2020-21 divorce from Brandon Blackstock, the singer admitted that she never wanted to get married in the first place.

After being asked if she wanted to remarry, she told People, "No. I never wanted to get married. [Brandon had children and a religious background.

"But I wasn't that person. Because I have been through several divorces in my family. It can happen, it doesn't have to happen. For my children, I definitely will not even think about it until they leave my home."

Clarkson has two children, River Rose (9) and Remington Alexander (7), with Blackstock, who is also the father of Savannah (21) and Seth (17).

Indeed, marriage is not the only thing the talk show host is avoiding now: the idea of romance and dating is not a priority for her these days.

"Dating sucks. It's so awkward. I was single until I was 30 and forgot how good I was at it. I told my friends that [a potential partner] should be an individual who doesn't need anything from me and brings their own life to the table. It's much more romantic to say, 'I want you, but I don't want anything. I feel really good right now and am having a good time."

Part of this good time, she said, is really appreciating her children, family, friends, and the hard work she does. I have to admit that all of that sounds a lot better than being married to someone who tells you you are not a "sex symbol." Ew.
