Kelly Clarkson Denies Gay Rumors (Again)
Clarkson, who has been tearing up the Billboard charts with her hit single Stronger, recently talked to Lucky magazine to clear up allegations that she prefers dating members of the same sex.
Theres all these rumors that Im a lesbian, Clarkson is quoted as saying in Lucky. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock, my manager Narvels son, Reba McEntires stepson? I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. Its what I wanted to do, so we went.
When asked if her romance with Blackstock was an instant connection, Clarkson said:
Ive known him for six years, but he was married. Then suddenly, there he was at the Super Bowl, and he was single.
According to the Christian Post, Clarkson has been dealing with gay rumors for quite some time. While the singer has been linked to a handful of guys in the past, her notorious single status is the main reason that many have speculated that she might be homosexual.
Im from a small town, so, like, everyones married with children or about to have children. So its a little hard when you go home and people are like- and thats why people think Im gay- because theyre like, Why arent you married? And Im like, It doesnt happen for everyone right o! ff the b at, she told the hosts of The View back in 2011.
Though the constant rumors would probably get the better of some artists, Kelly says she just lets them roll off her back.
If I was [gay], Id say, I love women! Clarkson told UKs Now Magazine in February.
In addition to spending time with her new beau, Clarkson is busy setting records in the music industry.
On July 4, Clarksons Stronger became the best-selling Idol single of all time, surpassing the long-time champion, Carrie Underwoods Before He Cheats.
