American Idol star Kelly Clarkson has admitted she was “not above a spanking” for her two children if they misbehaved.
Kelly previously admitted she spanked her children if they misbehaved, adding that it could be tricky to do so while out in public.
The 40-year-old shares eight-year-old daughter River Rose and six-year-old son Remington, with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, 45, who she split from in 2020.

She said: “I’m not above a spanking, which people aren’t necessarily into. I don’t mean hitting her hard, I just mean a spanking,” going on to reveal how her own parents had spanked her while she was young.
Kelly explained: “My parents spanked me, and I did fine in life, and I feel fine about it, and I do that as well. That’s a tricky thing, when you’re out in public, because then people are like, they think that’s wrong or something, but I find nothing wrong with a spanking.”
The singer added: “I’m like, ‘Hi, I’m going to spank you on your bottom if you don’t stop right now, this is ridiculous’. Honestly it’s really helped. She doesn’t do that kind of stuff as often.”

The star told Redbook: “I have a lot of mum guilt. If you’re a mum, you want to be with your kid every day. You don’t want to miss a moment, you want her to need you and want you and not want somebody else.”
She continued: “I’m not gonna BS you, that’s hard. There are days where I cry and I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I can handle all this!’ or get it all done.
“But at the end of the day, 99% of the time, it’s awesome and it’s worth it, and that’s what I say to myself.”
