Kelly Clarkson thought she was asexual before she met her husband Brandon Blackstock.
The 35-year-old Because Of You hitmaker admits she didn’t feel sexually attracted to anyone before she set eyes on her spouse.
‘This isn’t a downer to anybody I dated before him, but I’m just going to be real: I never felt like, honesty, sexually attracted to anybody before him,’ Kelly confessed during a private show for SiriusXM listeners at the Highline Ballroom in New York City Friday.
He’s the one! Kelly Clarkson has revealed she was never attracted to anyone before meeting her husband Brandon Blackstock
‘And I’m not downing my exes. You know, everybody’s different. But there was something about him.
‘I honestly thought I was asexual — I’d never been turned on like that in my whole life,’ she said.
‘I was like, “Oh that’s that feeling… okay! That’s what they were talking about in Waiting to Exhale.” I just got it. I just didn’t have a clue.’
The pair first met in 2006 when Brandon was still married to his ex-wife Melissa Ashworth but didn’t start dating until they met again in 2012 (pictured in February 2012)

However, when they met again in 2012 and Brandon had divorced his wife, Kelly realised she could be attracted to someone and it was Brandon.
She added: ‘We didn’t really know each other, I had just met him that one time. Just from that one time, even six years later, I had never really dated anyone. I honest to God thought, “Is this what it’s like to be asexual?” I was just not attracted to people.’
Meanwhile, Kelly previously admitted she thinks it’s harder for celebrities to find love.

She shared: ‘I was single for a very, long time and it’s hard when you’re in the limelight [and] you’re financially set and maybe they aren’t – it’s just a lot of intimidation.
‘I’m a whole lot of person and I’ve dated people who are like, “You’re a lot,” and that’s cool – I am a lot but [I thought,] “Somebody is going to love that some day and it’s not you, so that’s fine.”‘
Kelly and Brandon married in 2013 and have two children together; daughter River Rose, three and son Remi, one.
