Kelly Clarkson is always an open book, and her latest interview with People magazine gives fans more insight into the superstar’s physical and personal transformation over the past couple years. The 41-year-old Voice coach has lost a whopping 50 pounds recently through old-fashioned “exercise and eating healthy,” contrary to rumors she used the controversial Ozempic.
“I was very happy in LA and had been for several years. I needed a fresh start,” Clarkson shares about her move to New York, which has kept her more active. “Walking in the city is quite the workout! We walk the dogs a few times at the park, we’ll go for ice cream because my daughter will wear me down. We’ll go make slime and we go to the museum.”
It’s clear Kelly’s kiddos – 9-year-old River and 7-year-old Remington – keep her on her toes! She’s also challenging herself in new ways, like infrared saunas and cold plunges “because everybody wore me down.” Gotta listen to the body sometimes!
As for her diet, this Texas girl stays true to her roots. “I eat a healthy mix. I drop weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor. A couple years I didn’t and 90% of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl so I like me some meat, sorry vegetarians of the world!” You tell ’em, Kelly!
Clarkson’s health journey isn’t the only major change in her life recently. After nearly 7 years of marriage, she filed for divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2020. The former couple finally settled their divorce in March 2022 after a messy custody battle over their two young children and Montana ranch.
The singer has been open about the painful experience, telling E! News last year: “I think a lot of people, especially optimists like me, we tend to hold on to potential and hope, just clinching till the very end because we want it to work.” But she’s learned to pay attention to red flags, admitting, “You keep pushing for things because you want something but it’s not necessarily what you need.”
As always, Kelly’s honesty and self-awareness makes her so relatable. We’re glad to see this Stronger songstress taking control of her health and happiness. She deserves it after the difficult last couple years. We know with Kelly’s determination and goofy spirit, the best is yet to come!
