Kelly Clarkson is now the lucky recipient of a big birthday surprise courtesy of “two gorgeous men”: Jon Bernthal and Ben Affleck.
In a preview for Thursday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, which coincides with the host’s 43rd birthday, Clarkson can be seen welcoming the actors to the stage — only for her jaw to drop in shock moments later when the Accountant 2 stars arrive bearing gifts.
Affleck walked on wheeling a large table holding not one, but three birthday cakes, while Bernthal carried in a large bouquet of warm-colored florals.

“Happy birthday!” Bernthal told Clarkson, pulling her into a hug before going to set the flower arrangement down. The host then turned back to Affleck and the cakes, blowing out all of the candles as he cheered, “Make a wish!”
To say Clarkson was touched by the pair’s gesture would be an understatement. “That’s so nice!” she said, then turned to the audience and added, “I didn’t know that was coming.”
