“I almost broke down, I was like, ‘What?!'”
Kelly Clarkson’s Mother’s Day almost moved her to tears.
While speaking to Extra, the 40-year-old artist opened up about how she spent her special day since finalizing her divorce from Brandon Blackstock in March.
“I’m a single mom, right? So, I’m either at work or with kids,” Clarkson remarked. “So my nanny — I literally almost cried — like, she walked into the kitchen and was like, ‘Hey, for Mother’s Day, I’m going to give you the gift of time and you can just do whatever you want.’ I almost broke down, I was like, ‘What?!'”
