Kelly Clarkson realized her connection to the royals is stronger than she thought.

During a recent episode of her talk show, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," the singer had actors Abigail Spencer and Donald Faison on as guests. Spencer and Meghan Markle once starred alongside each other on "Suits," and she revealed to Clarkson that Markle is a fan.

"Meg says hello and that she loves you and that she voted for you on ‘American Idol,’" Spencer told the host, with Clarkson joking, "it worked," referencing her win on the competition reality show in 2002.

"This was unsolicited. She did not know I was coming on here. We were just chatting, and I was like, 'Oh, I'm going to see Kelly next week,' and she's like, 'I have a message,'" Spencer said.

The actress further made Clarkson smile when she revealed Michael Bublé referred to her as "the greatest singer on Earth."

Spencer and Markle first met when they both starred in season one of "Suits." Although Spencer was not a regular, she did appear in many episodes throughout the show, and Markle stayed on until the end of season seven. The two managed to remain very close friends over the years.

"It was 2007, I was doing a pilot for NBC, and I went to read with the people who were supposed to play my best friend. They were testing other actresses," Spencer told Clarkson. "I walk in, I see this beautiful gorgeous creature at the end of the table, and I'm like, ‘Who is that?’ We had an immediate something, you know? And her name is Meghan Markle."

It seems not all the cast members from "Suits" have remained close with Markle since she left the show to marry Prince Harry in 2018.

When speaking with Variety on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, former cast member Gina Torres spoke about how excited she and the rest of the cast, sans Markle, were to be reuniting to present an award that evening. She noted, "our text thread is insane right now." When asked if Markle is a part of that text chain, Torres seemingly shaded her former co-star, saying "We don’t have her number."

‘We just don’t. So, she’ll see, she’ll watch," she added. "She’ll be happy that we’re here."

Torres was invited to Markle's wedding to Prince Harry, along with the rest of the cast, including Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman and Spencer. While they were invited to the ceremony, none of them were invited to the reception that evening at Frogmore House.

Earlier this month, Hoffman recently spoke about his experience at the ceremony, during an appearance on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast, commenting on the viral photos of him with an "awful" look on his face. He went on to explain his expression was due to a "foul" smell plaguing him during the ceremony.

"I don't want them to think it's me because I'm so particular when it comes to hygiene. So I'm like, 'Do you guys smell that?' And they're like, 'No.' So now I'm, like, literally by myself, alone on an island, and I'm just going, 'Mother...' And that's [the face] they got [on camera]," he said. 

He added, "Guess who knew that the most in the cast that I had an issue with other people's hygiene? Meghan! Always knew and would always laugh about how I was so sensitive." 

Shohei Ohtani shocked the world on Thursday in an Instagram post when he revealed that he not only has a significant other, but he was married. 

As such, Ohtani’s personal life, which has been mainly out of the spotlight since he came to MLB, was the hottest topic at Los Angeles Dodgers spring training on Thursday. 

Speaking with reporters, Ohtani explained his decision to go public with his marriage to a "normal Japanese woman," who he said he was engaged to last year.

"She is a Japanese woman," Ohtani said. "I don’t really feel comfortable talking about when I got married exactly, but she’s a normal Japanese woman."

Ohtani said he did not want to have any distractions in the offseason.

"I felt like it was good timing because it was before the season," he added. "I didn’t really want any distractions once the season started. I would have liked to announce it earlier, but there were some paperwork issues that (delayed) the whole process."

Ohtani had known his wife for about three to four years, according to The Athletic.

Ohtani also made sure to point out that his free agency decision to join the Dodgers, who inked him for a whopping $700 million over the next 10 seasons, had "absolutely nothing to do" with his relationship, the LA Times reported. His wife was, however, supportive of the decision to remain on the West Coast. 

Ohtani’s post, which came in the middle of the night in Los Angeles but was in the afternoon in Japan, sent many into a frenzy. 

In Japan, Ohtani’s every move is covered, making his relationship bomb that much more impressive with how private he kept his personal life. 

"Not only have I began a new chapter in my career with the Dodgers but I also have began a new life with someone from my Native country of Japan who is very special to me and I wanted everyone to know I am now married," his post’s caption read.

A picture in the bottom right corner of his dog, Decoy, who became a story when he was spotted with him during his 2023 American League MVP acceptance, was also in the Instagram post. 

Ohtani’s Dodgers journey has already started off with a bang on the field, too, as he went to the opposite field in his third at-bat of the spring for his first Dodgers home run.
