Kelly Clarkson for Redbook July 2012

The voice of a generation Kelly Clarkson radiates beauty on the July 2012 cover of Redbook.

In the mag's pages, Kelly dishes on her new man, her reality TV past and her recent weight loss.

"I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don’t like free weights, because I build muscle easily. Really, what I try to instill in my fans is to be healthy and happy. I have no desire to be super-skinny," Kelly says.

One of her inspirations to get fit, Kelly's recently revealed, is her relationship with Brandon Blackstock, who she gushes about to the Redbook.

"I told my assistant that today. I said, 'I’m just waiting for something to blow up.' She said, 'No, that’s what happiness is.' I’m like, maybe I’ve never been happy! Because Brandon [Blackstock; her boyfriend] does, he makes me happy."

Adorbz! I'm pleased as punch Kelly's so happy and is once again exhibiting she's got her head firmly on her shoulders.
