Because of you River Rose and Remy, Kelly Clarkson knows what it means to be a mom."I think parenting changes you in the best of ways," the singer told Us Weekly in February 2020. "It’s made me stronger, but it’s definitely hard. It’s the hardest job out of all the jobs… I think it makes you selfless. It makes you really prioritize."But just like in music, Kelly—who celebrates her 43 birthday April 24—knows motherhood has high and low notes."Most of us are trying our best," she said on a March episode of the Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce podcast. "We’re gonna f--k up. We’re gonna mess up, and we don’t mean to. I have this conversation with my kids, too. If I lose my temper on something 'cause I’m just over it 'cause I’ve had to tell you so many times, I look at them [and] I go, ‘Mommy’s human, and that was a human moment. And that was not where I should have gone, but I own it.’ I think it’s important to show that to them. But I just think this whole filtered, perfection thing, that’s not real. Being honest is the best."
