Kelly Clarkson is praising fellow “American Idol” champion Carrie Underwood for breaking her silence about her difficult path to pregnancy.
Underwood, 35, recently revealed she suffered three separate miscarriages before getting pregnant with her second child.
The country superstar admitted to getting “mad” about the ordeal during an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” that aired Sept. 16.
Clarkson thanked Underwood for sharing her struggles — and congratulated her on her pregnancy with baby No. 2.
“I’m so happy for her,” Clarkson told Entertainment Tonight on Saturday, “cause I didn’t know a lot of the situations that were going on behind the scenes, and I have a lot of friends that have gone through that several times as well.”
“And that’s just – it’s a really cool thing [she did],” Clarkson, 36, added. “I was emailing her, because I was like, ‘It’s so important that you talk about it.’”
Clarkson acknowledged talking about a miscarriage isn’t easy, but it’s important to break the stigma around the topic.
The singer, however, said discussing the topic “makes women that feel inferior, or feel like something’s wrong with them, it makes them feel comfortable, and that that people go through it.”
Clarkson called the experience “a really hardcore thing as a woman.”
In the CBS interview, Underwood admitted she was heartbroken when multiple pregnancies “didn’t work out.”
