Kelly Clarkson's Daughter River Takes Over the Show in Adorable Moment!

Like mother, like daughter.

On the April 2nd episode of her show, Kelly Clarkson decided to celebrate Take Your Child to Work Day a bit ahead of schedule by having her daughter, River Rose, make an appearance.

At the start of the broadcast, the winner of American Idol declared that their daughter was present on this particular day. They went on to mention that she was accompanying showrunner Alex Duda for the day. Overwhelmed, they exclaimed, “Wow! You have a microphone and all! You’re so sophisticated! Oh my goodness. I adore it. You’re like a tiny executive producer.

Kelly, who is a mother to 8-year-old son Remington “Remy” Alexander with her former husband Brandon Blackstock, also mentioned that River was present at all the morning meetings, behaving as if she were an adult. She noted that River demonstrates great professionalism.

River even dressed the part and rocked a headset and clipboard for the guest-producing gig.

During the show, as Kelly interviewed Whitney Cummings, the comedian felt compelled to share an amusing backstage tale that left the “Since U Been Gone” singer blushing.

Whitney mentioned, “I had a chat with River earlier, asking him, ‘What really irritates your mom the most?’

And Kelly was spot-on with her guess of, “Is it when she calls me ‘Kelly’?!”

River then adorably directed her mom to go to commercial.

The 42-year-old chuckled when he understood her as saying, “‘Mommy needs some time off,'” but it turned out she was suggesting he should take a break instead. Hearing this, he felt touched by her kindness.

Kelly chimed in, “I have a remarkable leader here,” she said. “One day, this person will conquer the world, I can assure you. Now, it seems we all need a short rest.

Three months ago, my heartwarming talk show appearance took center stage. This event followed a special moment when Remy and I shared our experiences with our mom during the January 8th episode, as Remy showcased his captivating rendition of “My Way” by Frank Sinatra on that daytime series.

Speaking from personal experience as a lifestyle expert, I’ve found myself in a situation where my children have playfully chided me for missing their daytime school activities due to my busy work schedule during the week.

She expressed her frustration over school scheduling during an episode of ‘Not Gonna Lie’ on March 25, talking to Kylie Kelce. She said, ‘Why do schools schedule events in the middle of the day? It’s like they say, “Your child has a performance,” and I reply, “That sounds great, but it means I have to be the jerk because you chose that time—10 a.m. on a Thursday—when we’re all working hard.'”‘

Kelly said, “Don’t you think I just hang out at the park the whole day?” She jokingly imitated a question she often asks her children. “I do have a job, you know,” she clarified. “Both women and men work, and that’s perfectly fine.

She expressed frustration during a March 25 episode of “Not Gonna Lie” to Kylie Kelce, saying, “Why are there events scheduled in the middle of the day at schools?” She continued, “They say something like, ‘Your daughter has a performance,’ and I respond, ‘That sounds great, but it seems I’ll have to play the villain because you chose this convenient time at 10 a.m. on a Thursday—when we’re all busy working.’

I sometimes find myself jokingly questioning my kids about their assumptions, just like this: ‘Don’t you think I simply lounge around in the park all day?’ However, I want to clarify that, much like men, I too work. It’s important to remember that both women and men contribute to society.

Kelly posted a snapshot of her children, River and Remy, behind the scenes during her Las Vegas performance on August 18th, right before they made unexpected appearances on stage, each joining their mother individually.

In September 2022, Mom is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and both River and Remy are there to celebrate this special moment alongside her.

Running errands is way more fun when you have these two bundle of joys in the back seat.

In June 2018, Kelly Clarkson enjoyed some fun in the sun with her two kids, Remy and River Rose.

River has a knack for putting on a show that reminds Kelly very much of her mother, and she couldn’t be prouder.

In 2017, the artist from Texas chose to involve her child in the playful backstage activities during the filming of her music video.

In simpler, more conversational terms, Kelly wrote under this cute picture of her son, “You NYC folks aren’t prepared for Remy B… I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

I couldn’t help but flash a grin as I snapped this selfie alongside my daughter, proudly noting that I went without makeup for the occasion.

Back in May 2017, our family attended a Nashville Predators ice hockey match, and we all wore identical team jerseys.

On Mother’s Day, the 37-year-old vocalist expressed a heartfelt tribute accompanied by a charming snapshot, featuring three generations of ladies who are special to her family.

Ugh, could this be any cuter of an Easter moment?

Remy’s first birthday was a total blast and included a massive cake!

In 2016, Kelly and River ventured out despite the cold winter conditions in Tennessee to participate in the Nashville Christmas Parade, and boy, they were adorable!
