Kelly Clarkson has splashed out on a new home for $2.8 million in Tennessee.

Kelly, 31, who tied the knot with music manager Brandon Blackstock, quietly purchased a sprawling estate in Hendersonville under a trust last year and is now living there with her new husband.

A local source told E! News: "When Kelly is here, she is home. She is friendly to everyone."

The 'American Idol' winner's new home boasts seven bathrooms and nine bedrooms, a home cinema, gym, elevator, and sits on four-acres of land.

The blonde beauty recently revealed she is hoping to be pregnant with her first child in time for Christmas and has admitted a baby is all she wants as a gift from Brandon.

She said previously: "I already told him that when we're past the wedding, I want a baby. I was like, 'That's my Christmas present that you can give me.' "

Brandon has two children, Savannah, 12, and Seth, six, from a previous marriage, and Kelly also loves being a stepmother.

She said: "I love it. They laugh at me. I love doing the homework, I love going to the games."
