The former 'American Idol' star is off the market after a long single spell!

Phew! We were beginning to get worried our favorite American Idol alumna was going to be single forever. Kelly Clarkson Has Never Been In Love?

Thankfully, after a six-year break from the romance scene after splitting with crooner Graham Colton in 2006, she's struck a chord with a new beau.

According to Us Weekly, the 29-year-old singer admitted to a Toronto Radio station earlier this month, "I have a new boyfriend!"

So who is her hot new guy? His name is Brandon Blackstock, 35, a talent manager from Nashville who happens to have famous roots himself – he's the step-son of Reba McEntire and manages country superstar Blake Shelton (oh, and he's the son of Clarkson's own manager, Narvel Blackstock!).

The couple has been dating since late last year, but Clarkson waited to reveal the big news. The older, wiser Blackstock may just be a perfect fit for her, and he already knows how to commit – he has two children from his previous marriage.

An insider tells Us Weekly, "Before Brandon, Kelly had a tough time with love. (Brandon) is just what she needed." Kelly Clarkson Will Ditch Music For Romance And Babies

This seems to be Clarkson's year: she also has a new job on ABC's new singing competition, Duets. We're excited for the newly paired lovebirds!
