“I’m totally pregnant again,” Kelly told the crowd. After sharing the news, she said, “That was not planned. I just didn’t want you to think I was crazy. Honestly I’m just hormonal today. Nothing’s wrong I’m OK. I haven’t vomited yet!”

In July 2014, Clarkson and Blackstock welcomed daughter River Rose Blackstock.
