Kelly Clarkson just learned all about push presents, though she's already a mother of two.
The entire concept was recently explained to her by Priyanka Chopra and former motorcycle racer Carey Hart during a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “When you have the baby, you should get a gift,” Chopra explained, to which Clarkson replied, "Well, you get the baby, right?”
Chopra clarified that a new mother should receive the present from their partner, though no actual pushing is required. The 40-year-old actor welcomed her first daughter, Malta Marie, via surrogate in January 2022, and we can't help but wonder what husband Nick Jonas got for her…
Meanwhile, Clarkson shares two children — River Rose, 8, and Remy, 7 — with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. “I didn't get a present," Clarkson said, adding, "I know, that should have been a red flag. I honestly don't know that he knew.”
If he wanted to, he would — just ask Hart! True to his roots, Hart gave his superstar wife Pink a pretty hardcore push present: a custom motorcycle. “Between me and her, it made sense,” Hart told Clarkson. “I gave this to her as a thank you for being an awesome mum and birthing my child.”
Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in June 2020 after seven years of marriage, and it was not a clean break. After a lengthy settlement battle, she was reportedly required to make a one-time payment of $1.3 million to Blackstock in addition to monthly payments of $115,000 for spousal and child support. The former couple splits custody of their two children, but Clarkson is also entangled in an ongoing lawsuit against her former father-in-law's management company.
Though Clarkson's upcoming album is called Chemistry, she previously joked it should be titled Red Flag Collector. “I regret nothing,” Kelly Clarkson said on the Love Someone With Delilah podcast in December 2021, per People.
“Even unfortunate things that happen in your life or hard things, ’cause we can do hard things. But also I feel like that's what shapes you, it's what makes you a better person, it's what makes you recognise: Okay, I missed those red flags, I missed that, I ignored that on purpose.”
She added, “I mean… I'm just collecting them. I was apparently wanting to do some kind of exhibit with a lot of them.” Of all the red flags, Clarkson is now adding two missing push presents to the list.
