Kelly Clarkson Baby: Singer Makes Surprise Announcement At L.A. Concert, Fans React Online [VIDEO]
It's another baby on the way for singer Kelly Clarkson and her husband Brandon Blackstock!
The American Idol alum made the surprise announcement during a concert at L.A.'s Staples Center Aug. 19 after becoming emotional while singing her song "Piece by Piece", telling the excited fans at the show that she hadn't initially intended to make the announcement that way until it became too hard for her not too.
"I was not planning on announcing this, but...I'm totally pregnant!" she told the crowd. "That was not planned, I just didn't want you to think that I was totally crazy or something. I'm honestly so hormonal today."
The announcement marks the second child for Clarkson and her husband, who she married in 2013. The couple welcomed their first child together, River Rose, in 2014.Naturally, fans reacted wildly at the news, and several celebs and others fans, including other Idol alums from more recent seasons, shared overjoyed and congratulatory messages to the singer on social media:
