Kelly Clarkson, the newly single superstar, seems to have her eye on country heartthrob Brett Eldredge. The two talented musicians recently collaborated on a flirty Christmas song called “Under the Mistletoe,” and rumor has it that there may be more than just music behind their connection.

According to a source, Clarkson and Eldredge spent a lot of time together in the studio, as well as chatting on the phone. It seems that their time working on the sultry track brought them closer together, with some undeniable flirting going on between them.

However, caution is advised for Clarkson, who is still recovering from her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.

The insider warns that Eldredge, with his handsome looks and charming manners, has a reputation of being a heartbreaker. They worry that he may leave Clarkson heartbroken, just as she’s trying to heal from her previous failed relationship.

It’s a far cry from Clarkson’s days as Miss Independent. In June, she filed for divorce from Blackstock after seven years of marriage. She has chosen to keep most of the details of the breakup private, particularly because they have children together.

In an interview with the LA Times, Clarkson admitted that discussing her personal life is challenging due to her desire to protect her kids.

She hopes to eventually find a way to open up about her experiences, most likely through her show, but it needs to happen naturally and not be a forced conversation.

Despite the difficulty of her divorce, Clarkson is finally finding happiness and starting to look forward to the future. She is in a much better place now and has come to realize that leaving her marriage was the right decision for her own happiness. While the divorce was undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences of her life, she has learned a great deal about herself along the way.

So, will duet turn into a duo for Clarkson and Eldredge? Only time will tell. Clarkson’s friends and fans hope that she proceeds with caution and protects her heart while exploring what could possibly be a new romantic chapter in her life.
