“My son is seven years old. He picked the coolest song for a dude to pick. I was like, ‘He was destined for greatness just for loving this song alone,’” she said at the time.

After Remy’s viral cover of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” racked up more than 4 million views across social media, Clarkson brought him and his sister back on the show to talk about the big moment… and his response was hilarious!

That made Clarkson burst into laughter, and then explained Remy’s first reaction after she told him he was going viral.
“I’m gonna tell you how it went down,” Clarkson said to the audience. “I said, ‘Man, buddy, you’ve got like over a million views on there.’ And he goes, ‘Do you get that many views?’ I was like, ‘Calm down… And not often.’”
6. Remy Attended the Grammy Awards
The Grammys always bring out the biggest stars in music, but in 2024, it was Remy who absolutely stole the show. He joined his mom on the red carpet, holding her hand as they walked together. He was dressed in an adorable red velvet tuxedo topped off with a fun boutonniere made out of Legos.
7. River Rose Stars In Her Mom’s Music Video For “Broken & Beautiful”
In 2019, Kelly Clarkson released her song “Broken & Beautiful” for the family-friendly movie UglyDolls. When it came time to make the music video, Clarkson knew that she had to include her sweet daughter, since the song is all about self-love and empowerment.
8. They Attended Their Mother’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame Ceremony
