Kelly Clarkson's kids are ready for their time in the spotlight!

This week, the "Since U Been Gone" singer surprised her fans as she featured none other than her kids as guests of her eponymous talk show.

The daytime TV darling has typically kept River Rose, ten, and Remington "Remy" Alexander, eight, who she shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, out of the spotlight, though this was certainly a worthwhile exception.

On the Wednesday, January 8 installment of the show, River and Remy made an appearance with their famous mom, plus, following in her footsteps, Remy even took to the stage with a performance.

Ahead of the extra special show, a photo of Kelly with her kids was shared to the programs' official Instagram account, and they couldn't look more like their mom.

River appeared wearing a printed, collared button-down shirt and even had bangs cut just like her mom's, while her little brother wore a fun, printed green double-breasted jacket by Gucci.

Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it, with one writing: "So cute. River Rose is all Kelly," as others followed suit with: "They both look like Kelly, beautiful kids just like their mama," and: "How sweet. They both look like their mama for sure," as well as: "Beautiful family, your daughter is your mini me."

It has been a transformative year and a half for the doting mom, and last year, she opened up to People about how the move served as a fresh start, and a motivator for her recent health journey.

As for her diet, she shared: "I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I've been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn't. And 90 percent of the time I'm really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway," before joking: "I'm a Texas girl, so I like meat — sorry, vegetarians in the world!"

She had also previously opened up about what really pushed her to commit to her health and fitness journey, revealing it was a warning from her doctor. During an episode of her show in January 2024, in conversation with actor Kevin James, she shared: "I was told I was pre-diabetic," and confessed: "I wasn't shocked. I was a tiny bit overweight."
