Kelly Clarkson has been an integral part of music and television since her debut on the first season of American Idol in 2002. After winning the singing competition, she recorded numerous hits such as «Since U Been Gone» and «My Life Would Suck Without You». Becoming a musical sensation, she also became a coach on The Voice and started hosting her own talk show in 2019. She married talent manager Brandon Blackstock in 2013, and they had a daughter in 2014 and a son in 2016. Kelly filed for divorce from Brandon in June 2020 and has primary custody of both children. Despite the split, Kelly has made sure that their children still have their father in their lives. In 2025, she postponed her performances in Las Vegas due to Brandon’s illness.
Brandon had two other children from a previous marriage with Melissa Ashworth: Savannah and Seth. Learn more about each child here!
Kelly gave birth to her first daughter, River Rose Blackstock, in 2014! The singer explained how she named the little girl in a 2015 interview with People, saying she likes androgynous names. «We live on a river, so it wasn’t that creative», - she said. «We were on the balcony, and we both looked at each other and said, 'What about River? That’s pretty cool'». The singer also said that the second name, Rose, was chosen because it is her mother’s maiden name, and she liked the alliteration.
The singer sometimes posts photos of her children, and she has shown adorable photos of the children on Instagram several times! During the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine, Kelly posted a cute photo of River receiving horseback riding lessons from her dad. In addition to horseback riding, River has appeared in her mother’s work a few times. She could be seen dancing in her mother’s arms in the music video «Broken and Beautiful». Grammy winner also made her little girl the main character in two children’s books she wrote: River Rose and the Magical Lullaby and River Rose and the Magical Christmas.
Kelly gave birth to her son, Remington Alexander Blackstock, 5 years old, in 2016. A few days after Remington’s birth (also known as Remy), she tweeted about how happy she was to have two children. «I have the coolest kids, the most helpful/loving family, and I couldn’t be happier. I am filled with love. I want everyone to have this!» she wrote.
Recently, Kelly showcased Remy’s love for building, showing off some of his «engineering» skills he demonstrated with his toys on her Instagram. In addition to a cute photo of his creation, Kelly also shared photos of her children visiting her on The Voice set, writing that she loves it when the little ones come to visit her! Kelly also shared a funny video of Remy sitting with her on The Kelly Clarkson Show when Chris Martin from Coldplay was a guest. Chris performed an acoustic version of his band’s hit «Yellow», and at that moment, Remy amusingly interrupted. «I need to go to the bathroom», - he said in the clip. This comment caused a lot of laughter. «Yes, that’s definitely my child», - Kelly wrote in the caption of her Instagram post
