Clarkson’s two kids, whom she shares with ex Brandon Blackstock,joined her at her Hollywood Walk of Fameinduction ceremony in September, along with her mom Jeanne.
She recently toldVarietyabout how being a parent to her two young kids changed her approach to busy work days. Clarkson said she recently made the decision to push back the time of her NBC talk show so that she could drop her kids off at school.
“This season, we pushed everything back 30 minutes. I made that call so that I can take my kids to school,” she said. “And then my nanny picks them up. At least I have the mornings with them, and then I have nights with them.”
Speaking of her experience with “mom guilt,” Clarkson said she feels “very fortunate” that she has the “means” to see her kids as often as she does.
“My mom, I did call her once — this was years ago — and I was like, ‘Do I see my kids enough?’ And she was like, ‘Oh, my God, Kelly, you see your kids way more than I saw you!’ A lot of people don’t have the means, so I’m very fortunate,” she said.
