Will Kelly Clarkson’s man put a ring on it? It may be coming sooner than you think.

On “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” this week, the singer said she wasn’t engaged yet to boyfriend Brandon Blackstock (who she’s been seeing for 9 months), but it is going to happen…before long.

In front of an approving crowd, the singer said to Ellen: “We are totally going to get married. We love each other. We are totally going to get married one day.”

She then held up her ring finger and said, “I mean, he’s got to put a ring on at some point…But I’ll wait it out.” It sounds like a healthy attitude for the singer. She knows that an engagement is bound to happen, but she isn’t pushing it, and that takes the pressure off the relationship.

But what kind of ceremony would be right for the couple? The self-professed tomboy dampened any excitement over centerpiece possibilities. “Honestly, I’ve never been the girl to plan a wedding,” she insisted. “We will totally, probably elope.”

Meanwhile, Kelly and her man are enjoying their time together. How did they meet? The 35-year-old Nashville-based talent manager is the son of Clarkson’s manager. Some people say don’t get involved with anyone from the office – but for Kelly, a “workplace” romance seems to have done the trick!

As those who’ve been following their relationship closely can attest, it looks like the twosome have a lot in common. That’s so great for Kelly, who hasn’t had much luck in the love department over the years.

Kelly is especially psyched for the upcoming holidays. “This is going to sound like I’m making a joke, but it is so not. It’s serious,” she said. “I am not alone for the first time for Thanksgiving and Christmas – and I am very happy.”

Good for you Kelly! We here at Nicerazzi hope you and your man have a wonderful holiday season and continue to grow together in your relationship. You deserve it!
