Kelly Clarkson has a new man in her life!

The Texan native recently confirmed on a Toronto radio stated that she was dating Brandon Blackstock and that she couldn't be happier. Clarkson has been single since 2006 after her split from singer-songwriter Graham Colton.

[Blackstock] understands my work and how much I work and I understand his stuff, said Clarkson.
