Kelly Clarkson Shares Mom Hack to Get Son Brushing His Teeth, Swaps Parenting Tips with Jessica Biel

On the May 29 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the Grammy-winning singer opened up about a clever trick she uses to get her son, Remington “Remy” Alexander, to brush his teeth—a common parenting hurdle she shares with fellow mom Jessica Biel.

During a lighthearted segment, Clarkson, 43, and Biel, also 43, traded parenting tips. Biel revealed her own time-saving hack of sometimes eating in the shower, which led Clarkson to share her son’s dental routine solution.

Clarkson explained, “So I have a boy and a girl. And my boy and I have a real hard time,” before admitting, “He’s gonna hate me saying this, I don’t care, because maybe it’ll shame him into doing it.” She described how Remy just “refuses to brush his teeth,” making it a daily struggle.

Her solution? “I was like, ‘Hey, let’s make a fun thing of it.’ So I was in the shower, I’m like, ‘Just take your toothbrush and your toothpaste in the shower. You can be messy. You can do whatever.’” The trick worked wonders, and Clarkson cheerfully told the audience, “So now he’s brushing his teeth, if you need help,” earning applause.

Clarkson candidly reflected on the difference between her kids, saying, “I don’t know what it’s about boys. They don’t wanna brush,” contrasting Remy with her daughter, River Rose, 10, who readily keeps up with brushing. “My girl is always like, ‘Oh yeah, of course, I did that,’ like I’m an idiot that I asked her.” But with Remy, she added with a laugh, “He’s just like, ‘Yeah, I totally did.’ And I’m like, ‘You’re lying. Let me smell your breath.’” Biel wholeheartedly agreed.

Clarkson often features her children on the show and celebrates her motherhood journey openly. Earlier this year, during the show’s 1,000th episode celebration, Clarkson grew emotional while sharing a montage of moments with River and Remy. She told them, “You’re what I’m liking today, my little ones, and every day I love them so much.”

This glimpse into Clarkson’s parenting approach highlights the everyday creativity and humor she brings to motherhood—proving even stars face the classic challenge of getting kids to brush their teeth. And sometimes, a little shower fun is all it takes.
