New mom Kelly Clarkson has ballooned to over 200 pounds since giving birth – and friends fear she’s heading for serious health problems with her upcoming summer tour!
“As energetic as Kelly likes to be on stage, you fear she’s going to collapse with all that added weight she’s carrying on her,” a concerned insider told The National ENQUIRER.
Texas-born Kelly, 32, has scored a dozen hit singles and sold 20 million albums since winning the first “American Idol” title in 2002.
She’s long battled the bulge though, and has admitted to being bulimic in high school.
In 2011, when Kelly began dating talent manager Brandon Blackstock, the “Moment Like This” singer hired a personal trainer and shed an impressive 30 pounds from her 5-foot-4 frame.
But her weight loss success was short-lived. The “Since U Been Gone” songbird became pregnant shortly after marrying Brandon in October 2013, and piled on the pregnancy pounds.
Their daughter, River Rose, was born last June, but Kelly’s weight has just kept climbing.
"You have to admire Kelly. She’s the butt of some of the cruelest online comments imaginable about her weight, yet it just rolls off her back,” said the friend.
“But there comes a time when you have to address these things, just for your own health and well-being. Kelly isn’t at that place yet.” – ROGER HITTS
