Kelly Clarkson finds dating "very difficult"

In a video posted on TikTok, Kelly was seen speaking on stage during her Studio Sessions residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and telling the audience why she's still single, saying: "Dating can be very difficult which is why I don't ...

"It's hard anyway, add a spotlight and it's like a ... dumpster fire."

It comes after Kelly recently admitted she fears she's following in the footsteps of her parents, who divorced when she was six years old.

During a performance in Atlantic City, New Jersey in May, Kelly told the audience: "We learn from our parents, [who] learn from their parents. We keep repeating the same horrible s*** over and over.

"Now, it turns out that I chose the same f****** path."

Kelly recently insisted she's focused on raising her children River, 10, and Remy, nine, instead of searching for a partner, but the singer hopes she'll find love again in the future.

Speaking on Today with Jenna and Friends, she told host Jenna Bush Hager and her guest co-host Matt Rogers: "I hope it does [work out]. I will say I'm not not looking, I'm not looking.

"I'm very busy and as a mom, I've gotta focus right now, there's a lot of work. Plus, my kids schedule, I feel like it's busier than mine.

"I'm running from my show to baseball practice and I'm trying to be just there. It's a lot. My mom will tell me: 'Look, I was a single mom. I didn't get to make everything. They're gonna be fine. You turned out fine.'

"I am just trying to be there as much for them [as possible] and we're a cute little unit."

However, the Where Have You Been singer is also doing her best to carve out "adult time" away from her kids.

She added: "I am trying to adult more. So for Mother's Day weekend I do have a couple shows, but my kids aren't coming. So I do get to be an adult with my band having drinks and having adult time."
