"I mean, here’s the thing. I’m not not friends. I only have a couple that I’m just like, ‘Hard pass,’" confessed the mom-of-two, who split from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in 2020. "But a couple of them, you know, I don’t have many exes, but a couple of them are cool people, there's nothing wrong with them. If we ran into each other, we’d be totally friendly."

The "Since U Been Gone" crooner said she wouldn't go out of her way to avoid a former lover, explaining that if she knew an ex was going to be at the same party, she would still attend.

Dealing with the divorce hasn't been easy for the TV star, as she explained, "You thought you were going to spend forever with this person."

Nonetheless, Clarkson is enjoying life more than ever these days after she and her kids moved to NYC.

"I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn’t be in L.A. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can’t really do a show from there quite yet. So I was like, ‘The only other option would probably be New York,'” she spilled. "I genuinely love it, and I love that my kids love it."
