Kelly Clarkson reveals she was hospitalized during her 'bad pregnancy' with daughter River

Kelly Clarkson and her husband, Brandon Blackstock, welcomed their first child together; daughter River, in June. The first-ever American Idol winner, however, is now revealing what a terrible pregnancy she had.

During an interview with BBC radio’s Nick Grimshaw, Clarkson said she was hospitalized while pregnant.

She explained, “It was just kind of a bad pregnancy, so I had to take off way more time [from working] than normal.”

Clarkson, who is also stepmom to Blackstock’s kids Savannah, 11, and Seth, 7, also revealed she released new music so soon after giving birth because she was too “bored” not working.

“I got real bored. My husband was like, ‘Oh God, you need to do something, Kelly,’” she laughed.

She has since released “Heartbeat Song,” off of her new album Piece by Piece. She also announced she will be touring this summer.

Despite the difficult pregnancy, Clarkson said she wants another child in about a year.
