Kelly Clarkson has gotten engaged to boyfriend Brandon Blackstock and has already revealed what the giant rock looks like, according to People. The former American Idol singer began dating Blackstock, a talent manager, late last year. In November of this year, though, Clarkson revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that she is expecting some bling at some point. Her ring is a yellow canary diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds that her fiancé designed with Johnathon Arndt. Blackstock did a great job matching Clarkson’s taste since she loves her ring. She is already looking forward to designing his wedding band with the same designer.
