Kelly Clarkson‘s own
little Miss Independent is here!
The singer welcomed her first child with
husband Brandon Blackstock on Thursday, June 12, she announced Saturday on Twitter.
“Our baby girl
River Rose Blackstock arrived on June 12th!”
Clarkson, 32, Tweeted. “Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes! Brandon and I are on cloud 9!!”
Following weeks of pregnancy rumors — and
a few hints from the mom-to-be! — Clarkson confirmed the pregnancy four weeks after she and Blackstock
tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Tennessee.
And while
the morning sickness threw her for a loop, there was one thing Clarkson was confident about: she was
expecting a daughter.
“I’m totally gonna have a girl. I’m manifesting it! And when I have a girl, you’re gonna be like, ‘That chick knew it!’ ” she joked in November, long before officially finding out the sex of her baby on the way.
In January, she revealed her suspicions were right. “I knew it! Only a girl could cause this much drama with
all this vomiting ha!”
she Tweeted.
But, luckily, if Clarkson and Blackstock, who is already dad to
Seth and
Savannah, had been surprised with a son, the couple were covered with a name.
“Honestly, the
name we’ve picked, if it’s a boy or a girl, it’s the same name,” she told
Ellen DeGeneres. “You won’t guess it. It’s a random name. But it’s not like … ‘Blue Jazz.’ It’s not going to be a weird name.”
