Creating a memorable New Year’s Eve moment, Kelly Clarkson played a special role in two fans’ wedding during her Las Vegas residency. A video uploaded by a fan on YouTube showcased the heartwarming exchange. The pop star engaged in a conversation with Brian and Marcello, a couple planning to tie the knot that night at her “Chemistry” residency at Planet Hollywood’s Bakkt Theater. With an officiant present, the couple expressed their desire to have Kelly as their witness.
Brian informed Kelly that they had been together for 14 years, approaching their 15th anniversary in January. Delighted to assist, the “American Idol” alum promptly requested the officiant to proceed. The officiant led Brian and Marcello through their vows, declaring them husband and husband “by the power of Kelly Clarkson’s show,” as the singer and the audience cheered. The newlyweds sealed their commitment with a sweet kiss and captured a selfie with Kelly.
While Kelly joyfully celebrated the love of others, she embraced the start of 2024 as a content single woman. In 2020, she ended her seven-year marriage to Brandon Blackstock, finalizing the divorce in March 2022. Kelly was granted primary custody of their two children, River Rose (9) and Remington Alexander (7), and the court ordered her to make financial payments to her ex-husband.
Following the divorce, Kelly openly discussed feeling constrained and losing herself during the marriage. In 2023, she prioritized self-care, which included significant weight loss and a relocation to New York City.
Although Kelly has been linked to dating rumors involving celebrities like Brett Eldredge, Teddy Swims, and Jason Momoa, she has made it clear that she is enjoying the single life. On “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” she shared with Shannen Doherty that she is currently focused on herself and not yet ready for another relationship. Kelly expressed the need for personal growth and self-care within a partnership and emphasized the importance of nurturing oneself while also caring for someone else. She relished her own company and found it empowering.
