Kelly Clarkson's Revenge Body: Singer Determined Get in 'Great Shape' Before NYC Move and Dive Back Into Dating Pool
Kelly Clarkson is putting in the groundwork to take the Big Apple by storm with a banging revenge body in the wake of her tumultuous divorce, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
The American Idol winner wants nothing more than to put the past behind her after her split from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock was settled in March 2022, insiders close to the songstress shared, claiming she has dropped 15 pounds and plans to shed 35 more before autumn.
As part of their settlement last year, the Breakaway singer had to pay her ex over $1.3 million, as well as $115,000 in spousal support and $45,601 in child support each month.
Clarkson is "finally back on a healthy eating plan, and it's already starting to show," an insider said about her determination to get fit while embracing her new single status. "She's on a regimented, balanced diet that's low on carbs and calories but high on protein."
Not only is she eating nutritiously, but she's also been going hiking when she gets the chance to, according to the tipsters who said she is gearing up to dive back into the dating pool.
Looking ahead, Clarkson will be taking her eponymous talk show to New York City, leaving behind its longtime home in Los Angeles while bringing her kids.
The Kelly Clarkson Show will be filmed in Studio 6A at NBC Studios in Manhattan's 30 Rockefeller Center.
