Kelly Clarkson was seen flirting with Joe Jonas during an episode of her daytime talk show. She seemed really impressed by him and thought they had great chemistry. But sources say Joe doesn’t feel the same way.
Kelly, 43, thought Joe, 35, was handsome, smart, a good dad, and everything she wants in a man. After their fun chat on the show, they also talked backstage. Kelly may have hoped for something more, but insiders say Joe just isn’t into her like that.
“Joe thinks Kelly is nice and sweet,” said a source, “but she’s not his type. He’s more into women who are a little less ‘goody-goody.’” He sees her only as a friend.
Kelly has been recovering from her tough divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2022. Even though she’s lost weight and feels more confident, she’s still been trying to move on emotionally. Meanwhile, Joe Jonas is also newly single after his own 2023 divorce from Sophie Turner, with whom he shares two daughters. He’s getting ready to go on tour and wants to have fun, not start a serious relationship.
Joe did exchange numbers with Kelly, but insiders say he was just being polite. “He’s not going to date someone he’s not attracted to,” the source said. “He’s not mean about it, but it’s just not going to happen.” It’s a letdown for Kelly, who thought they had a connection, but Joe sees her as just a friend.
