Kelly Clarkson confirms she's pregnant with her first child, calls it the 'best early Christmas present ever'

After much speculation, Kelly Clarkson has confirmed she’s expecting her first child with husband Brandon Blackstock. She confirmed the happy news on Twitter.

The inaugural American Idol winner, who married Blackstock in an intimate ceremony late last month in Tennessee, tweeted:

Just last week Clarkson was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and sparked rumors about being pregnant.

Leno told her, “I always get this 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? Remember, you are under oath!"

But she wouldn’t confirm or deny anything, saying, “We are not announcing anything right now.”

This will be the first child for Clarkson and the third for Blackstock. He has two children from a previous marriage; Savannah, 11, and Seth, 7.

Back in August, Clarkson revealed she and her now-husband decided against having a big wedding and wanted to elope instead. They got overwhelmed by the wedding plans and had only Blackstock's kids with them on their big day.
