‘American Idol’ Winner Kelly Clarkson Opens Up In Elle Interview
Kelly Clarkson, the season one winner of ‘American Idol,’ opened up about her life in a recent interview with Elle magazine set to hit newsstands.
The 25-year-old recording star touched on several areas of her life that she has typically avoided speaking about.
In the candid interview Clarkson revealed that she has no desire to have children, saying, “My point of view is that I shouldn’t be a mother at all, because I’d be horrible. I’m not willing to be that selfless.”
Not only does Clarkson have no plans for children but marriage is apparently out of the question as well as she commented, “I’m not keen on marriage. I don’t let many people in. Men come and go. Friends are what I care about.”
Many of Clarkson’s attitudes could be traced back to her life as a child. When she was six-years-old her parent split after 17-years of marriage. Kelly then saw her brother move in with her dad, her sister move in with an aunt while she stayed with her mom.
Clarkson touched on her childhood during the interview, saying “I had a really big issue with self-consciousness when I was young. I was highly emotional. I worried so much. For most of my childhood I was walking on eggshells trying to make everyone happy.”
Despite her willingness to share insight into many areas of her life the Grammy Award-winner still doesn’t talk about past relationships. When prodded Clarkson said “When it comes to certain parts of my life, I won’t allow myself to be vulnerable at all. I have a lot of trust issues. Most people are like that, I think.”
