Kelly Clarkson Balances Motherhood And Career Like A Boss

Here’s the thing: Kelly Clarkson has a résumé so long it could probably wrap around a city block. But you know what tops it all? Her kids. The ever-charming American Idol winner—who’s also a mom to River Rose, 5, and Remington, 3, and stepmom to husband Brandon Blackstock's children, Savannah, 16, and Seth, 12—recently spilled the tea about how she juggles her packed schedule while still staying 100% present for her little ones.

At 37, Kelly’s not just singing her heart out anymore—she’s running her own talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. And guess what? She made sure her kids came first when planning out that hectic schedule. “When we were putting together the show’s schedule, I was like, ‘Listen, dropping my kids off at school is non-negotiable. And I’m always the one who puts them to bed,’” she told People with that signature charm.

How Kelly Prioritizes Her Kids

Kelly’s NBC syndicated show doesn’t just start rolling whenever—it waits until she’s done her morning duties with her four kids. “It’s all about setting priorities, juggling, and making sure people understand how important this is,” she explained. “And hey, don’t let guilt get in the way of being a great parent.”

From Talk Shows to The Voice

Starting September 9, Kelly’s life will get even more hectic as she launches The Kelly Clarkson Show and continues filming The Voice. But does she mind? Not one bit. “I thrive on being busy,” she confessed. “Sure, the schedule is intense, but I actually work better under pressure. It’s just who I am.”

The Real Struggles of Parenthood

Now, here’s the kicker: despite her rockstar life, Kelly’s not immune to the struggles of parenthood. “Some days, I lock myself in the bathroom and cry, thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so much,’” she admitted. “Every parent goes through it. We’re all wondering, ‘Am I messing up my kids or nailing it?’ Honestly, it’s probably a mix of both.”

But let’s be real—Kelly’s kids are lucky to have a mom who’s not only an incredible performer but also someone who puts family first. We’re pretty confident she’s doing just fine!
