From iconic Céline Dion covers to showstopping fashion, Kelly Clarkson’s talk show is chock-full of must-see moments. While I’m a sucker for celebrity appearances, her most recent guests might be my favorite to date. 

On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the American Idol alum, 42, held a rare interview with her two children, River, 10, and Remy, 8.

In the episode (see above), Clarkson reminded viewers that she previously shared a now-viral snippet of her son, Remy, singing “My Way” by Frank Sinatra. The talk show host explained that her kids regularly visit her on the set of her talk show, and Remy insisted on performing when the TV cameras weren’t rolling. 

“Like their mama, both my kids love singing,” Clarkson said. “And when Remy got to set, he surprised us. He wanted his chance at the microphone, and he literally said, ‘Who do I have to talk to to sing my song?’ I was like, ‘OK,’ so of course, we made it happen.”

After sharing the full video of his performance, Clarkson invited her kids on stage for a rare interview. “I’m so stoked because both my kids are here again. Let’s bring them out, y’all,” Clarkson said. “Everyone say hi to River and Remy!”

While discussing Remy’s “My Way” performance, River revealed that it’s his favorite song to sing around the house. When asked how many times she’s heard the tune, she added, “I can’t even count how many times.”

River also revealed that she enjoys singing and writing music, just like her mom. “I put that together in a journal that I forgot at home because I am a forgetter in my family,” she explained. “But I do that a lot in my room, and I spend hours and hours and hours singing [and] trying to do a song.”

Sounds like talent runs in the family.
