Justin Guarini “Secretly Dated” Kelly Clarkson

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Hook-ups, Rumors,

Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson back in 2002Kelly Clarkson's fellow American Idol finalist Justin Guarini claims they had a secret relationship.

The "Because of You" hitmaker - who is expecting her first child with husband Brandon Blackstock - won the first series of the show in 2002, and the runner-up claims they began a romance when they starred together in movie From Justin to Kelly, but separated when her career grew more successful while his stalled.

According to a review posted on website Mcall.com, Justin told the audience at his Lovesick one-man cabaret show in Pennsylvania last week about the romance, and also with another Idol contestant from his series, the fourth-placed Tamara Gray. Justin - who has two children with wife Reina - has previously described Kelly as being "like a sister" to him. "We've just always been such good friends. Um, man, it was weird; she was like my sister on the show, and then you know, we made a movie together. ... I'd say, we had a good time. Yeah," he previously said in 2012.

And speaking around the release of From Justin to Kelly, the "Stronger" singer was quick to dispel talk of a romance with her co-star. "We're like brother and sister," Kelly insisted at the time.

American Idol Runner-Up Justin Guarini to Wed

Justin Guarini to wed this weekendWith American Idol cranking out the seasons and garnering the focus on judge Paula Abdul’s replacement(s), most people tend to forget about the contestants—like Justin Guarini.

Turns out that Guarini’s getting married this weekend! The 30-year-old is set to wed Reina Capodici, his high school classmate from Doylestown, Pennsylvania; he’ll become step-father to her 4-year-old daughter Lola.

Guarini was (if you need refreshing) the runner-up to Kelly Clarkson in the very first season—anyone remember that film they made together, From Justin to Kelly?

Apparently the guy is doing gigs for the TV Guide channel, covering the Emmy awards as well as American Idol—at least he’s received some work!
