Kelly Clarkson and husband Brandon Blackstock are expecting their first child.
The 31-year-old singer tweeted the happy news , "I'm pregnant!!! Brandon and I are so excited! Best early Christmas present ever."
However, no details of the baby's due date have been revealed.
Kelly married Brandon on October 20 and became stepmother to his two children from a previous marriage. For some time now, rumor mills were abuzz about Kelly being pregnant. And the 'All I Ever Wanted' singer said that she wanted to have babies at the earliest.
Last week, during her appearance on Jay Leno's late night show, Kelly hinted that they both were "trying" and that "practice makes perfect." Jay literally asked her to announce the news on his show and said that Ellen DeGeneres got all the big stories from the stars on her show.
"I always get these stars that come and go, 'I'm thinking about having a baby,' and then the next week they go on 'Ellen' and announce it there. So, I'm asking you, are you pregnant?" Jay asked Kelly. All she answered was, "We are not announcing anything right now."
Kelly and Brandon married at Blackberry Farm in Walland, TN. The wedding was an extremely private affair. The couple first met at the rehearsals for the 2006 American Country Music Awards and began dating in 2012. Brandon is the son of Kelly's manager.
"Brandon is my manager's son. I've known him for six years, but he was married. Then, suddenly, there he was at the Super Bowl and he was single," she told Daily Mail last year.
