1-year-old daughter River Rose played a part in Kelly Clarkson's big baby gender reveal.

Kelly Clarkson first let the cat out of the bag about her second child back in August, when she asked a Los Angeles audience to overlook her overactive hormones.

“I’m totally pregnant,” Clarkson candidly told the crowd before singing her song “Piece By

Piece”.

“I was crying and I didn’t want you to think I was crazy” she continued.

The singer also explained that even their extended family had no idea they were expecting.

Now, Clarkson has revealed that she is having a little brother for her 1-year-old daughter River Rose!

Clarkson and her fans hope this pregnancy will be a bit easier than her first one. In 2013, she confessed to several interviewers that she’d had a “horrible pregnancy,” suffering hyperemesis gravidarum, the same severe morning sickness that plagued Duchess Kate for both of her pregnancies.

Here’s to hoping the old tale about “boys being easier” is true!
