Jelly Roll Allegedly Crushing on Kelly Clarkson? Same, Buddy. Same.

Jul 22, 2026, 9:33 AM

Well, this is the celebrity gossip we didn’t know we needed on a Tuesday.

According to RadarOnline.com, our beloved Jelly Roll allegedly has his eye on a certain pop powerhouse — Kelly Clarkson. A source close to the situation tells the outlet that the two have shared a close friendship for years, complete with what’s being described as “flirty chemistry” that apparently has people talking.

The source says now that Kelly’s talk show has wrapped, she’s ready to refocus on music and is very interested in teaming up with Jelly Roll for more duets. The insider adds that he’s “working up the courage” to ask her on a formal date — and feels pretty confident she won’t say no.

Now, let’s be clear — this is RadarOnline reporting from an unnamed source, so grab that salt shaker, friend.

But honestly? We’re not mad about it. Two incredibly talented people who bonded over music and major personal transformations? That’s actually kind of adorable.

Jelly Roll, if you’re listening — and we know you love Colorado — just shoot your shot. Worst she can say is no. Your pre-teen fans here in Denver are absolutely rooting for you.

No pressure though. 😂
