Kelly Clarkson, the beloved talk show host, recently shared a heartwarming insight into her daily routine. In a behind-the-scenes video on The Kelly Clarkson Show‘s YouTube channel, the 43-year-old singer answered a fan question about what brings her joy every day. Clarkson revealed that snuggling with her two children, 9-year-old River Rose and 11-year-old Remington, is a source of happiness for her.
The Grammy winner explained that her kids are at an age where they still love cuddling and being close to their mom. She even mentioned that she practices co-sleeping, allowing her children and two dogs to join her in bed. Despite the lack of space, Clarkson finds comfort in these moments with her family, cherishing the conversations and bonding that take place during these cuddle sessions.
However, Clarkson has faced challenges in recent months following the tragic loss of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, to cancer. The singer had a tumultuous relationship with Blackstock, who was also her former manager, but she set aside any animosity to provide comfort and support during his illness. Clarkson postponed her Las Vegas residency to focus on her children and be present for them during this difficult time.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2013 and share two children together, went through a highly publicized divorce in 2020. Clarkson has been open about the emotional toll of the split, especially when it comes to co-parenting and financial matters. Despite the challenges, Clarkson remains dedicated to preserving Brandon’s memory for their children and creating a sense of closure for their family.
As Clarkson navigates the grieving process and continues to prioritize her children’s well-being, she is also focusing on her own healing journey. While the scars of her past experiences may still linger, Clarkson is slowly but surely moving forward and finding solace in the love she shares with her family. Ultimately, she remains grateful for the beautiful family that Brandon helped her create.
The singer’s decision to end her talk show after the current season reflects her commitment to prioritizing her family and personal well-being. As she looks towards the future, Clarkson’s resilience and unwavering love for her children serve as a testament to her strength and determination to overcome life’s challenges.
