Meet River Rose Blackstock: Kelly Clarkson’s Bold and Creative Daughter

Born on June 12, 2014, River Rose is now 11 years old. River turned 11 this June. Since her birth in 2014, Kelly has often shared sweet moments about her daughter, who’s known for her big personality and creative energy. Fans might remember her starring in Kelly’s children’s book River Rose and the Magical Lullaby or appearing in parades and red carpet events with her mom.

In 2023, River’s voice even made it onto one of Kelly’s albums, a sweet nod to their shared love of music. But River’s not just following in her mom’s footsteps. She’s carving her own path, with a love for fashion, storytelling, and performance.

This year, River has become more involved in Kelly’s Las Vegas shows, occasionally joining her mom onstage and stealing the spotlight with her natural confidence. Kelly has said that River has been dressing herself since she was a toddler, and now at 11, her bold outfits are still getting attention online.

Kelly has also opened up about River’s experience with dyslexia, sharing how proud she is of her daughter’s resilience and creativity. River’s journey is inspiring other parents and kids alike.

Remington “Remy” Alexander: Kelly Clarkson’s Charistimatic Son

Born April 12, 2016, Remington, affectionately called Remy, is now 9 years old and full of charm.  He’s described by Kelly as “curious, sensitive, and full of energy.” While he’s the more private of the two Kelly Clarkson’s Kids, fans have caught glimpses of his charm during adorable cameos on social media.

Kelly recently revealed Remy has been interested in sports and robots, something she supports wholeheartedly despite not being “a science mom.”

While Kelly occasionally talks about the challenges of parenting in the public eye, she’s clear about one thing: her kids come first. Remy, like River, is adjusting to changes in the family with a strong support system and a loving mom by his side.

Kelly Clarkson’s Co-Parenting Journey and 2025 Challenges

Before Brandon’s passing, Kelly and Brandon had gone through a high-profile divorce in 2020. Since then, Kelly had primary custody but worked toward a peaceful co-parenting setup.

Now, in 2025, Kelly’s role has shifted entirely. She’s the full-time parent while managing one of TV’s most successful talk shows and her ongoing music career.

 In a recent interview, she said:
“Everything I do now is for them. If something doesn’t serve River or Remy, I say no.”
