The singer is a mother to two children. She has also filed from divorce from her husband, Brandon Blackstock. Clarkson recently talked about how having abandonment issues affects her parenting.

“I’m literally holding down so many things right now. Not only jobs, but even things where we usually had a lot more help,” she told Glamour Unfiltered.

“We are fortunate, so I’m not complaining in that sense,” she continued. “But I’ve definitely had to people that I work with, ‘you hired a mom and I’m not an absentee mom. I’m a full-on mom.’ I already have abandonment issues, so I don’t want to pass those down.”

Clarkson said she’s inspired to do magical things with her kids

The talk show host is still creating new episodes of The Kelly Clarkson Show during isolation. She has also worked on The Voice. She hosted a virtual ShowHER Love baby shower and talked about doing things with her kids during this time.

“You are going to be inspired to do all of these magical things with your kids,” she said according to The Sun. “Do things you’ve never done before. Try things you’ve never done before.”

She added, “It is such an awesome experience being a parent. I know it can be overwhelming, but it is so amazing.” It looks like one of those magical things is switching up their look.

She defended her daughter’s hair

Many people are switching up their hairstyles during isolation. Clarkson shared on Twitter that she dyed part of her daughter’s hair.

“I put a purple streak in my daughter’s hair today and I swear to you she thinks she is as cool as Prince now Full on air guitar, singing at the top of her lungs, that is what’s happening… and before I get attacked for being the worst mom ever, it’s safe, organic paint,” she tweeted on Aug. 1.

Fans replied in the comments showing they have rocked purple hair themselves, or have done the same with their children.”Just did purple for our daughter too,” one fan tweeted with a picture of her hair.

“I gave my son rainbow hair and now it’s green! Children are suppose to have fun and you’re an awesome mom! Never doubt yourself!” another fan tweeted.

It looks like most of her fans support her decision. She also reacted to one of their comments.
