It didn't take long for Kelly Clarkson to fall for Brandon Blackstock. She initially developed a crush on the talent manager when they briefly crossed paths at the 2006 Academy of Country Music Awards. However, the "Because of You" hitmaker didn't act on her feelings because Blackstock was married to his first wife, Melissa Ashworth, at the time. Once they divorced in 2012, Blackstock and Clarkson started seeing each other that very same year.

Their relationship moved quickly, with the "American Idol" winner sensing that Blackstock was marriage material. It was a surprising revelation for Clarkson, who had long doubted that marriage was in the cards for her. "I never thought, honestly, I would get married or fall in love, like they say in the movies," she admitted to CBS News in 2015.
