Kelly Clarkson: 'I want to be toned for my boyfriend'
The 'Dark Side' singer is currently dating Brandon Blackstock, the son of her long-time manager and step-son of country star Reba McEntire.
On a conference call held Wednesday, Clarkson said that her relationship with Blackstock has inspired her to hit the gym so that she can feel better about her physical self.
"I would love to say that it had something to do with my work, but it doesn't," Clarkson explained.
"I have a boyfriend, and if I'm being completely honest, no-one likes to be not toned when you are dating someone. I'm eating better and working out, but I've always fluctuated within 20lbs. My whole life I've been like that."
Clarkson went on to reveal that she and Blackstock share the same trainer but prefer not to exercise together, adding: "I tone whenever I want, and I chose to now because my boyfriend and I are both really into it. But we don't work out together.
"We did that once and I didn't like huffing and puffing. I didn't like looking all red and gross, so I don't do that."
Clarkson recently joked that being with Blackstock is ruining her creativity as she can't write good songs anymore without gushing over the romance.
