Clarkson, meanwhile, recently admitted that once she has her baby she won't be adding to her family because pregnancy is 'too rough' on her: "Oh, no, we are done. Oh good Lord, yes, I can't be pregnant again. This will be our number four total, so we're good... Honestly, the first one was really rough, and I was like, 'Oh, it can't happen again,' and no, it happened, like, way worse this time."
