Kelly Clarkson’s Kids River, Remy Are All Grown Up in Talk Show Chat

Kelly ClarksonTwo children, River and Remy, are all grown up in their first interview on their mother’s talk show.

“You may remember a couple of weeks ago my child River and Remy was on set. That’s a great perk we get as a family when the show taps on Saturdays,” the singer, 42, said on the Wednesday, January 8 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Like their mum, my children love to sing. And when Remy arrived on set, he surprised us. He wanted his chance at the microphone, and he literally said, ‘Who do I have to talk to to sing my song?’ I was like, ‘OK,’ so of course, we made it happen.”

Last month, Remy, 8, went viral after Clarkson shared a snap of her son singing the classic Frank Sinatra tune “My Way.” So Clarkson decided they were going to show the full video of Remy’s performance. In the clip, Remy took the stage and sang his heart out. As he belted out the power ballad, Clarkson and River, 10, cheered him on from the wings. After the song was completed, Remy received a standing ovation from the audience. Clarkson ran over to give her son a big hug.

After showing the performance, Clarkson had a special treat for the audience as did Remy and River back in the studio.

“I’m so excited because my kids are here again. Let’s bring them out, you,” Clarkson told the audience. “Everybody say hello to River and Remy!”

River and Remy walked out and gave their mother a hug before sitting down on the sofa. The brothers and sisters were all made up for their a major television appearance. River rocked a black and white blouse with straight hair and bangs – similar to her mother’s iconic look. Remy, for his part, looked dashing in a green striped blazer.

“Oh my God, look at you. You got make-up on and your hair is done,” Clarkson quipped. “This is not how we look at home.”

Clarkson then asked her son why he wanted to perform that particular song. Remy explained that he really liked it, especially after he saw it inside Song 2. Clarkson teased that she and River have gotten used to hearing “My Way” a lot at home.

“I can’t even count … how many times,” River teased of how often her brother belts out “My Way.”

Clarkson shared that she and River hear Remy practicing the song a lot because he is getting ready to sing it at a couple of events for his school. That was one of the main reasons why he wanted to try singing in front of a live audience. Kelly also shared Remy’s reaction after the snippet of the song went viral.

“I said, ‘Dude, you’ve got over a million views I think on your video,'” he recalled. “And he says, ‘Are you getting so many views?’ I was like, ‘Shut up – and not often.'”

Just like Remy, Clarkson noted that she could always hear her “country queen” daughter in her room practicing music. The American Idol winner turned it all over to River to share what she likes to do musically. Just like her mother, she enjoys singing and writing music.

“I put that together in a journal that I forgot at home because I’m forgetful in my family,” River admitted. “But I do that much in my room, and I spend hours and hours and hours singing (and) trying to make a song.”

Clarkson proudly shared that River’s songs are “good.”

Clarkson shares River and Remy with ex husband Brandon Blackstock. The pair split up in 2020 after almost seven years of marriage.
