Kelly Clarkson engaged

Los Angeles: Pop star Kelly Clarkson has announced she is engaged to her boyfriend of nine months Brandon Blackstock.

The `Since You`ve Been Gone` singer has announced she will marry the 35-year-old talent manager, who popped the question after nine months of dating. The 30-year-old star, who shot to fame after winning `American Idol` in 2002, shared her joy with her fans on Twitter. "I am engaged. I wanted you all to know. Happiest night of my life last night! I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever," she said. Clarkson recently expressed her hopes that the couple would tie the knot even though they weren`t yet engaged. "We are totally going to get married. We love each other. We are totally going to get married one day. I mean, he`s got to put a ring on at some point. But I`ll wait it out," she had said. PTI
