personally, i think if someone asks her in a nice, polite way - be it during an interview or wherever - she will answer whatever question she is asked honestly. i don't even think her having a boyfriend was a secret. she just wasn't going around parading the news and shouting it out to the world. she treasures her privacy, after all. and we know she's not like other artists who think that everything about them should be on the front page. i think she'd call herself a tool if she did that.

and, i don't think she lied about anything too. she just answered the question straight to the point. are you engaged? no. are you married? no. and it's true, she isn't either of those. so when someone asked the right question - boyfriend? she said yes. she didn't even hesitate or think about it. she just answered the question. no long pauses just like the smile she had on her face when asked about where she was when whitney died.

so i believe she hasn't been secretive or lied about it. she just hasn't publicized it. and i am glad for that. because relationships are hard enough for us regular folks so it must be 1000% harder for them. couples that are under the limelight rarely last. and, for her sake, i would want this to work.

so, for me, right now, it doesn't quite matter who he is. i'm just so happy for her. i'm happy that she's happy. and although i would be tickled to death to see pictures of them together and stuff like that, i hope it doesn't happen. i would just hate to know that the pap are following them around just to get a scoop. they will never have peace.

so, unless kelly tells us what she wants us to know about the relationship, i will sit in my corner, quietly grinning from ear to ear. the only time i would really insist in knowing who this lucky guy is (as if i actually have the right to insist) is if he does something stupid. then he will have to watch out. i'm sure a lot of people are with me on this. LOL.

i hope he realizes how lucky he is. but, if it turns out that she's the lucky one, well, that would even be better
