Have you noticed that Kelly Clarkson is looking more fit.  It’s because the original “American Idol” winner has been dating Brandon Blackstock – the son of her manager – for five years.

She said:

“I would love to say that it had something to do with my work, but it doesn’t.

“I have a boyfriend, and if I’m being completely honest, no one likes to be not toned when you are dating someone.”

And the way she’s been getting toned is by increasing her workout routines and being more restrictive in her diet.

She added:

“I’m eating better and working out, but I’ve always fluctuated within 20 lbs. My whole life I’ve been like that.”

She also shares a trainer with her talent manager partner.

Kelly said:

“I tone whenever I want, and I chose to now because my boyfriend and I are both really into it. But we don’t work out together.

“We did that once and I didn’t like huffing and puffing. I didn’t like looking all red and gross, so I don’t do that.”

The loving couple may not workout together, but they have other common ground that they share.

She continued:

“We both love music so we go to shows together. I am just more active with him.”
