Kelly Clarkson is in no hurry to be in a relationship again.

凯莉·克莱森并不急于再次谈恋爱。

As a single mom to daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington Alexander, 7 (whom she shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, 47), Clarkson, 41, says she has more than enough already on her plate after relocating from L.A. to New York City for season 5 of her hit talk show.

41岁的克莱森是9岁的女儿里弗·罗斯和7岁的儿子雷明顿·亚历山大（她与47岁的前夫布兰登·布莱克斯托克共同生活）的单身母亲，她说，在从洛杉矶搬到纽约参加热门脱口秀第五季后，她已经有足够的钱了。

"I love my kids. I have my family and friends, I have my jobs,” she allows. “It’s all these beautiful things that are working really well."

“我爱我的孩子。我有家人和朋友，我有工作，”她允许道，“这些美好的东西都很好地发挥了作用。”

Clarkson wrote the songs on her latest album, Chemistry, which just earned a Grammy nomination for best pop vocal album, during the unraveling of her nearly seven-year marriage to Blackstock, her former manager. (They split in 2020 and finalized their divorce in 2022 after lengthy disputes over custody and spousal support.)

克莱森在她与前经纪人布莱克斯托克近七年的婚姻破裂期间，在她的最新专辑《化学》中创作了这些歌曲，该专辑刚刚获得格莱美最佳流行声乐专辑提名。（他们于2020年分手，在监护权和配偶赡养费问题上发生长期纠纷后，于2022年离婚。）

“I’ve always known that love is hard,” she explains. “For me, love has always come with this elephant in the room of sadness. I’ve known love is not forever. I don’t mean that to sound depressing, but I think we put a lot of pressure on that word. Sometimes love is looking at someone and going, ‘This is not good for you. This is not good for me.’ That’s a hard thing to face. But when you do, I think you grow.”

她解释道：“我一直都知道爱是很难的。”“对我来说，爱总是伴随着悲伤房间里的大象而来。我知道爱不是永远的。我不是说这听起来很沮丧，但我认为我们给这个词施加了很大的压力。有时爱是看着一个人，然后说，‘这对你不好。这对我不好。’这是一件很难面对的事情。但当你这样做时，我认为你会成长。”

While Clarkson is open to the idea of meeting someone, she doesn’t see herself ever marrying again.

虽然克莱森对与某人见面持开放态度，但她认为自己再也不会结婚了。

“No. I never wanted to get married the first time,” she says. “[Brandon] had children, a religious background, and it was important, I think, for him. But I’ve never been that person. Because I’ve been through a couple divorces in my family, I just don’t like to put any weight on it. It can happen; it doesn’t have to happen. For my kids, I definitely would never even think about it until they’re out of my house.”

“不，我从来都不想第一次结婚，”她说。“（布兰登）有孩子，有宗教背景，我认为这对他来说很重要。但我从来都不是那样的人。因为我的家庭经历过几次离婚，我只是不想对此有任何重视。这是可能发生的，也不必发生。对于我的孩子来说，在他们离开我家之前，我绝对不会去想这件事。”

And don’t get her started on dating.

不要让她开始约会。

"Dating sucks. It’s so awkward,” she says, laughing. “I was single until I was, like, 30, and I forgot how really good at that I am. I told a friend [that a potential partner] would have to be an individual that brings their own life to the table without needing anything from me. It’s far more romantic to say, ‘I want you, but I don’t need anything.’ I’m really good right now, I’m having a good time."

“约会太糟糕了。太尴尬了，”她笑着说。“我一直单身到30岁，我忘记了自己有多擅长约会。我告诉一个朋友（潜在的伴侣）必须是一个不需要我任何东西就能把自己的生活摆到桌面上的人。说‘我想要你，但我什么都不需要’要浪漫得多。我现在真的很好，我玩得很开心。”
