Kelly Clarkson shares the hack she uses to get her 9-year-old son to brush his teeth
During a conversation with actress Jessica Biel, Kelly Clarkson is sharing the hack she uses to encourage her 9-year-old son Remington to brush his teeth.
During the May 29 episode of 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' Clarkson told Biel there is one daily hygiene task that her son is not a fan of completing. And that's brushing his teeth.
'He's gonna hate me saying this. I don't care because maybe it will shame him into doing it, but he just refuses to brush his teeth, like it's like a thing,' Clarkson explained. 'And so finally, I was like, 'Hey, let's make a fun thing of it.''
That's when the mom of two encouraged Remy to brush his teeth in the shower.
'I was in the shower, I'm like, 'Just take your toothbrush and your toothpaste in the shower. You can be messy,'' Clarkson said, because what 9-year-old boy doesn't like to be messy.
'So that's what I got him into in the shower,' Clarkson told Biel, who has admitted that she often eats in the shower. 'So now he's brushing his teeth!'
Clarkson admitted that she doesn't 'know what it is about boys' when it comes to hygiene. As for her 10-year-old daughter, River Rose, Clarkson said she never had an issue with getting her to partake in good dental care.
'My girl is always like, 'Oh yeah, of course, I did that.' Like, I'm an idiot that I asked her,' the mom said.
'And then my son, he's just like, 'Yeah, I totally did.' And I'm like, 'You're lying. Let me smell your breath.''
But if you asked Biel, it's just being smart with your time, multitasking in the shower.
'I know this sounds disgusting,' the actress said, admitting she finds it disgusting as well, but 'this is called 'trying to get to drop-off on time' and just needing to do everything at once, because I didn't wake up early enough or something happened.'
However, she does have a line. Biel said that while she often drinks her coffee in the shower, 'I don't really do sandwiches.'
'Bread is not my thing in the shower,' she continued, neither is steak, but she will eat yogurt or cereal.

Kelly Clarkson Reportedly Facing 'Very Painful' Personal Struggles That Might Force Her To Quit Her Popular Show
Kelly Clarkson has reportedly had a "moment of clarity" following her brief break from her widely popular talk show due to personal matters. Back in March, the singer abruptly stepped away from her show for two weeks, leaving celebrity guests to fill in for her until her return. Now, sources claim that Kelly Clarkson faced "very painful" personal issues, and that she might leave her show, as she "knows her limits." According to a new report, Clarkson is seeing things more clearly now after going through a tough period in her life that forced her to take a break from her show in March. While she has yet to speak on the reason behind her absence, fans at the time were told that the singer had a "private matter" to attend to, which has left many concerned to this day. "This has all been very painful for her," an industry source who has worked with Clarkson told Page Six. They continued, "The difficulty is that Kelly, like all of us, wants to be liked, and she had to deal with this new moment in her life. She knew she had to step down for a minute." The industry insider further shared: "She has her priorities, and her family comes first, but I think she's been humbled by the whole situation… what has happened has given her a moment of clarity, I think." Clarkson's recent issues came at a time when she was getting her life back on track after a bitter divorce battle with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The former couple, who called it quits on their marriage in 2020, share two children together: daughter River Rose and son Remington "Remy" Alexander. Clarkson herself was open about the toll the divorce took on her. In a chat with Apple Music in 2023, she admitted, "Just to be brutally honest, I did not handle [the divorce] well." Blackstock and Clarkson's split was further complicated by the role he played as her manager, the brain behind her multimillion-dollar deal with NBC, and her talk show. "The irony is that he's had a very positive influence on her life; he made these phenomenal deals for her, and she wouldn't be here without him. But it's hard to be a manager and a husband," the industry insider noted. "At the time, she greatly appreciated what he had done for her career." Now, beyond her hectic daytime show, Clarkson has several other endeavors weighing on her, including her recently launched record label, High Road Records, and her upcoming Las Vegas residency, "Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions," which is set to begin on July 4. These various ventures, along with her personal issues, have raised questions about the future of her daytime show. "She knows her limits, even on 'The Voice', when she was working so hard, she knew when she needed a refresh – that's what you're seeing now," the industry insider stated, per Page Six. "She is a very feeling, sensitive person, as you see on the talk show, and that's both in her personal and professional life." Back in April, insiders revealed to Page Six that the "Wrapped In Red" singer was considering quitting her talk show to spend more time with her children. However, NBC executives are reportedly doing everything they can to keep her happy, in the hope that she will reconsider her decision to step down from the role she has been helming since 2019. "Kelly's number one priority is her children, and they always will be," a source told the news outlet about Clarkson. "The show is grueling. It's a whole lot of work, and I hear that Kelly would like to spend more time down South." Another source explained that NBC would like to ensure Clarkson remains on the network to host holiday specials, such as "Christmas in Rockefeller Center." After her return from her two-week break, Clarkson noted how she and her family experienced "kind of a dark week." During an episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where she hosted the stars of "A Minecraft Movie," Danielle Brooks, Jack Black, and Jason Momoa, Clarkson opened up about how their efforts on the film positively affected her family. "It was kind of a dark week for me and my family, and I got to preview the movie with them," she shared, per Decider. "It was such an exciting thing. So I just wanted to say thank you. It brought my kids out of, like, a sad time to, like, just a normal kind of time." The "Because of You" singer did not elaborate on the nature of the "sad time" as she went on to sing "A Minecraft Movie" praises, noting that "it's such a great film." "And that's the reason why I love it, 'cause it's like a family film. Everybody can watch, it makes you feel good," Clarkson added. "It's inspiring, it's creative. Well done on the movie. It's so good."
