Rumors have been flying about Kelly Clarkson's love life ever since she told a Canadian radio station earlier this month that she had a boyfriend. The rumor was that the lucky guy is Blake Shelton's manager, Brandon Blackstock, the son of Clarkson's manager, Narvel Blackstock.

Now, sources have told  US Weekly that it's true, and Blackstock and Clarkson are, in fact, dating. Narvel Blackstock is married to Reba McEntire, which makes Brandon Reba McEntire's stepson.

An insider told the magazine, "Before Brandon, Kelly had a really tough time with love. He's just what she needed."

Representatives for Clarkson did not immediately respond to ABCNews.com's requests for comment.

Sharp-eyed fans may have noticed that Clarkson and Blackstock have been seen exchanging somewhat flirty tweets with each other over the past few months.
