Kelly Clarkson has put her plans to have a second child on hold.
The 'Since You Been Gone' hitmaker and husband Brandon Blackstock had been planning to have another baby as soon as possible but the singer - who gave birth to daughter River Rose in June - is now eager to focus on recording her next album instead.
A source told America's Star magazine: "She has been run ragged. Their daughter is a blessing, but she can't imagine getting pregnant again - especially anytime soon.
"Having another baby would mean delaying any plans to record an album for at least a year.
"She doesn't want her fans to forget about her."
The 'Stronger' hitmaker married Brandon, who has two children from his first marriage, Seth, seven, and Savannah, 11, in a low-key ceremony in Tennessee last October.
The 32-year-old star previously admitted she never wanted to have children until she met her husband and was now looking forward to having a huge family.
She said: "I never wanted kids before, but now I want, like, five."

George Clooney bought his wife the £5 million mansion where they are spending their UK honeymoon.
The Hollywood star married Amal Alamuddin last Saturday (27.09.14), and he treated his new bride to the home an hour away from London, which is where they are reportedly considering raising a family.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "George has all the money in the world but wanted to give Amal something special to mark their marriage.
"Buying her a house must be up there with the most expensive wedding gifts in history, but the thought behind it was to give them a proper place to call home in the future.
"George will still travel the world for his movies, but they intend for this to be their British base. They want it to be the place where they bring up a family. They have already talked about having kids."
The home will allow human rights lawyer Amal to continue her work in London, and the newlyweds hope to spend most of their time there.
As well as a panic room, the mansion also features living quarters for 'The Monuments Men' star's security team.

The star is said to be working on her highly-anticipated third studio album - set to be released in 2015 - and she has undergone "photo-healing therapy" to cure her fear of being pictured ahead of her return to the limelight.
A source previously said: "Adele has always been camera shy but with her big comeback imminent her fear of being thrust back into the limelight is growing.

The 'X Factor' UK judge has opened up about her battle with ill health - as well as her split from Ashley Cole and her 'X Factor' US exit - and it was those closest to her that helped her move on.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I just needed time for growth and peace and quiet.
"Being away gave me the opportunity to enjoy the simple things in life like playing with my dogs Buster and Coco.
"I've got 11 nieces and nephews and having them going crazy in my house and wiping dirty handprints off the glass was just normal stuff. It meant getting back to reality and what really matters.
Meanwhile, the former Girls Aloud singer has also spoken about Jean-Bernard - who she married in July - and insisted while he makes her "happy", she was already in a better place before they tied the knot, which allowed their relationship to work.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Fabulous magazine: "Yes, he makes me happy - but he's not the reason, because I was happy beforehand.
"And if I hadn't been happy, wouldn't have been open to the relationship.
"I had spent years and years working solidly, so I took time out and did lots of things I wanted to do - from seeing friends to travelling."

Professor Green is ready to have children.
The 'Read All About It' hitmaker is incredibly happy with wife Millie Mackintosh now they are settled in their dream home and he hopes to start a family in the near future.
He said: "We knew what we wanted [for our house] so we drew it on napkins and gave them to architects. I've still got those somewhere.
"And soon we're going to start our family. Well, not quite yet, but it won't be too far off hopefully."

He said: "I'm very happy right now. I know you can't be all the time and that's OK. Now I know that s**t happens, it's inevitable.
"As we've seen s**t happens to me but I'm still here. I'm not waking up with a knot in my stomach anymore."
The London-born star admitted frequent stomach pains he experienced in the past have now been attributed to anxiety.
He told Loaded magazine: "Someone said to me, 'Do you ever relax your stomach?' I realised I'd been walking around with this tense, knotted stomach for most of my life, all caused from anxiety."

Lindsay Lohan regrets driving under the influence.
The troubled actress - who was arrested twice for the offence in 2007 and has subsequently endured a string of legal problems stemming from the probation set for the convictions and has been in rehab nine times - knows her actions were wrong and will never drive drunk again.
Asked what one thing about her life she would change, she said: "I would never have got behind the wheel of a car after having a drink. Ever."
Lindsay - who is currently starring in West End play 'Speed-the-Plow' - has become well known for her personal problems and partying lifestyle which have overshadowed her career in recent years, and while she admits she lost "focus", she is now determined to get back on track because she finds work "therapeutic".
She explained in an interview with Britain's Marie Claire magazine: "Acting is what I do, it's therapeutic for me, it's fun for me.
"Yes it's my job but I never went into it because it was like work, I got into it because it made me happy.
"At the end of the day that's the most important thing. The diligence and focus you have to have, that I maybe lost sight of for a little bit... Well I'm prepared now to deliver and all I can do is my best."

A source said: "He sends her favourite flowers all the time just to make her smile.
"Kris has always held a special place in her heart for Lamar, so when he reached out to apologise to her too, she was like putty in his hands.
"Lamar knows that even if he earns Khloé's trust back, it's her mom who makes all the family decisions. He's thrilled they're talking again."
The former couple split following months of rumours Lamar was addicted to cocaine and cheating on the reality TV star with multiple different women.
But the source said he has changed a lot in recent months, explaining to America's OK! magazine: "Lamar is clean and sober now. He's been seeing a therapist and working out regularly, getting himself on the right track to win Khloé back."
The 30-year-old beauty recently ended her relationship with rapper French Montana, whom she started dating in April.

Brad Pitt says making 'Interview With a Vampire' was "one of the worst experiences" of his life.
The 50-year-old actor starred with Tom Cruise in the 1994 horror movie and admits if the project had come along later in his career, he would have either had changes made or walked away from the film.
He said: "It was one of he worst experiences of my life. Six months in the f***ing dark, contact lenses, make-up, I'm playing the b***h role...
"Now I'd be able to say, 'This is a problem, we fix this, or I'm outta here."
The 'Fury' star - who raises six children with wife Angelina Jolie - feels he lacked direction and focus in his early career and didn't always take the best advice.
He admitted to Psychologies magazine: "When you're starting out it's easy to feel lost.
"I didn't follow my instincts about doing more personal kind of projects. You get a lot of advice from people who are trying to advance your career and want to make money out of you, but also who are trying to help you make a lot of money.
"That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't always going to lead you to make good films.
"You spend too much time on career maintenance but then you think, 'What's the point?' if it's not leading you to be doing interesting work - which is why you really became an actor in the first place."

Hayley Tamaddon would do 'Strictly Come Dancing' "in a heartbeat."
The 'Coronation Street' star says she would love to don some sequins and shimmy around the dance floor on the BBC One celebrity contest following her appearance on ITV's 'Dancing on Ice' in 2010.
When asked if she would enter the show, the 37-year-old actress exclaimed: "Oh my, in a heartbeat!
"As a kid, because I lived in Blackpool, I danced as a kid but we never did ballroom, so I used to go with my mum to watch the ballroom dancers because they always used to dance in the Tower Ballroom.
"I'd just sit and watch four hours about how they did it, so yeah, in a heartbeat. Anything to do with dancing and performing, I would love to do, yeah."
This year however, the former 'Emmerdale' actress has been giving former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Mark Wright - who is engaged to her former co-star - some helpful hints she picked up on Dancing on Ice, to improve his performance.
She explained to BANG Showbiz: "Michelle Keegan's other half is in it, I met him last week, and he was asking me what he can do with his face, so I was giving him a few facial [tips].
"The trick is, if you use this [points at face], it takes it away from the feet you see, if the feet are going wrong. So if you're using this [points at face], you get a few more points!"

Selena Gomez has been seeking comfort from her grandfather following her split from Justin Bieber.
The 22-year-old singer has turned to her grandpa to help her get through her heartbreak after her on/off relationship with the 20-year-old star came to an end yet again last week following just a month of dating.
Taking to her Instagram account last night (03.10.14), Selena posted a picture of her cuddling her grandad, along with a cryptic message, which read: "Papa has ears that truly listen (sometimes), arms that always hold and love that's never ending. (sic)."
The 'Spring Breakers' actress sparked rumours she'd broken up with Justin, whom she first started dating in 2010, last week when she posted two messages on Twitter after the 'Baby' hitmaker was spotted enjoying dinner with Kendall Jenner, 18, in Paris, France, while Selena was sightseeing with her friends.
She tweeted at the time: "Sometimes we think we aren't good enough. But then I realise when I think I'm alone I have God."
She then added a few moments later: "We have to learn the hard way sometimes."
Although it isn't known whether her tweets were directly related to Justin's date with Kendall, Selena - who is thought to have flown back to the US alone - previously had a bust-up with Kendall and her younger sister Kylie Jenner, 17, after the Coachella Valley Music Festival in California earlier this year when she allegedly found text messages from Kylie, 17, on Justin's phone.
However, Selena reportedly ended her feud with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' stars in April after she realised she'd "overreacted."

Kris Jenner tracks her children via Google Alerts.
The 58-year-old matriarch, who manages her kids' careers, admits she keeps up the date with the whereabouts of Kourtney, 35, Kim, 33, Khloé, 30, Rob, 28, Kendall, 18, and Kylie, 17, with email notifications.
Speaking to E! News, she said: "Sometimes I want to know where everybody is. I have a Google Alert on the kids, and I'll go, 'Wait, that's right! They're in Italy!' "
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty recently admitted she finds it "hurtful" when her parenting skills are criticised because being a mother to her kids comes first.
She said previously: "As hurtful as it might be, no one knows what's going on.
"When someone starts criticising your role and your ability to be a good mum. I prided myself my entire life ... my most important role in my life is being a mom. There's nothing I wouldn't do for my kids."
And Kris isn't immune to criticism from her own family either, as she admits she gets "tortured" by her daughters over the way she treats their brother.
She explained: "I often get tortured by Kourtney, Kimberley and Khloe about it, and Kendall and Kylie, because they think I baby Rob."

Mel B plays "naked Twister" with her husband.
The former Spice Girls singer, 39, admits she and her beau Stephen Belafonte, with whom she has three-year-old daughter Madison, boost their sex life by playing the physical board game without clothes on.
Speaking about what she and Stephen do when they have time to themselves, she told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There will be Twister - naked Twister!"
However, she admits their relationship isn't completely perfect and she quite often has therapy where she moans about Stephen, whom she married in 2007.
Mel, who also has daughters Phoenix, 16, and Angel, six, from previous relationships, explained: "I have had therapy and I like it. Usually I b***h and moan about my husband. Silly things like he likes to sleep with the TV on but it keeps me awake. There is a debate every night. He ends up winning because he puts something on that I actually want to watch."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty admits she isn't the only member of the girl group to get up to raunchy antics in the bedroom as Emma Bunton and her partner Jade Jones also have an active sex life.
She said: "You know Emma and Jade have been together for 15 years and do you know what she's wearing under there? Leather! They are friends and they fancy each other and love each other."
