Kelly Clarkson's winning moment on "American Idol" was certainly special. She and Justin Guarini stood close to each and held hands as they awaited the results to be read, and hugged each other when they were. Clarkson and Guarini did have chemistry, and years later in 2014, Guarini even admitted to that.
Per E! News, Guarini spoke about his connection with Clarkson during his stage show "Lovesick" in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The singer revealed that his romance with Clarkson started on the set of the 2003 musical comedy "From Justin to Kelly." However, things didn't really work out between them, as Clarkson's career was soaring. However, Clarkson wasn't the only love interest Guarini had his eyes set on. Per E! News, he revealed he had a thing for Tamara Gray, the contestant who came in fourth on the show.
Up until the time he finally admitted to romancing Clarkson, Guarini had been quite shy about his association with her. In 2012, he spoke to Yahoo! Entertainment about the rumors around his relationship with Clarkson. "Yeah, there was a rumor, definitely. 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," he told the outlet.
