Songstress Kelly Clarkson has revealed that she doesn't look at her relationship with husband Brandon Blackstock as being 'everything' because she learned from a young age that she has to rely on herself. 

Speaking to magazine Redbook for its May edition, the 'Heartbeat Song' hitmaker admitted that she doesn't consider her husband to be her other half and instead looks at having him in her life as a special gift:

"I call it the oxygen-mask mentality — take care of yourself first. Brandon is not my other half. He’s a whole and I’m a whole. I’ve never believed in someone taking care of me, and that’s probably because I grew up poor and without a lot of family stability."

In the same interview, Clarkson also opened up about her body confidence and confessed that she doesn't obsess over her weight and is more concerned with her personality: 

"I don’t obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it. There are just some people who are born skinny and with a great metabolism – that is not me. I wish I had a better metabolism. But someone else probably wishes they could walk into a room and make friends with everyone like I can. You always want what someone else has."
