NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Kelly Clarkson is currently "very satisfied with life" by being a mother and moving to New York City in 2023 as she enjoys this phase of life, an insider said to People.

Notably, the source added that Clarkson has settled into her new life as she balances working on her talk show with being a mother to her two kids.

Insider claims Kelly Clarkson is 'very satisfied with life'

The insider told the outlet, "Kelly kind of lives in a bubble. She's all about the kids and work. She loves being a mom. Her kids have been clear that they don't want her to date, so she's not."

The source added, "She feels very satisfied with life as it is. She knows as the kids get older, dating will be easier. This is not anything she misses at the moment."

In November 2024, Clarkson spoke about if she is open to dating while appearing on KOST 103.5. The New York mom said she's "enjoying being single" at the moment, and noted that her two kids aren't ready for her to get back into dating.

She said, "They constantly bring it up, 'Please, we don't want you with anybody else.' They're young, it's hard to picture their mom with someone else other than their dad."

However, Clarkson said that although she's been liking being single, she won't always be adhering to her kids' wishes. She added, "I have expressed like, hey, I love you guys but Mommy needs loving too."



 

In August 2023, her kids Remington (8) and River (10) joined the Grammy Winner onstage at her Las Vegas residency. She revealed to People for her 2024 cover story, that the family performance was the kids' idea.

She told the outlet, "They were a little nervous, but it was their idea, not mine." Her daughter River opted for a duet of her mom’s hit 'Heartbeat Song' while Remington danced backup as Clarkson sang 'Whole Lotta Woman'.

The singer recalled the moment, "I was like, 'I feel like how you’re looking at me is how you watch Spider-Man'. It caught me completely off guard, and it was the most magical moment because they were so happy and at ease. They were just in awe."

Kelly Clarkson’s children not happy with her divorce

Kelly Clarkson revealed in 2023 how her divorce from Brandon Blackstock affected their children. She reportedly said on an episode of Angie Martinez's 'IRL' podcast, "I ask my kids every night when we're snuggling and I put them to bed, 'Are you happy? And if you're not, what could make you happier?'”

She added, "Especially the past two years, it kills me [but] I want them to be honest so I don't ever say, 'Oh God, don't tell me that,' but a lot of times it would be like, 'I'm just really sad. I wish Mommy and Daddy were in the same house.' They're really honest about it."

The ‘Catch My Breath’ singer shared that since she’s also from a "divorced family," she understands her children’s emotions. She said, "That sucks. But we're going to work it out."

Notably, Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock were married from 2013 to 2021. After their separation, the singer said, as reported by US Weekly, "I mean, it’s no secret. My life has been a little bit of a dumpster."

She added, "Personally, it’s been a little hard the last couple months. I’ve been talking to friends that have been through divorce. I don’t know how people go through that without having some kind of outlet because it is the worst thing ever for everyone involved."
