The “Behind These Hazel Eyes” songstress was awarded primary physical custody of their children.
“My daughter was like, ‘Well, what if Dad lets me?’” Kelly said.
“I’m like, ‘Well, you’re there four days a month. Enjoy that.’ And right now he’s not letting them do it either,” she shared.
Kelly admitted co-parenting is challenging
Despite the challenges of shared custody, she’s taking charge, ensuring a consistent upbringing for River and Remington.
She’s upfront about the parenting rollercoaster, admitting that there is “no perfect parent” but that she’s “giving it my all”
In the same interview, the singer opened up about the “extraordinarily hard” depression she experienced after the divorce.
Speaking to the publication, she said that writing her new album ‘Chemistry‘ helped her process the turmoil of the divorce.
“You feel alone, and it’s just a blessing to be able to have that outlet for those emotions that are overwhelming,” she said.
When asked whether she is currently single, Kelly told her audience that she not ready to jump back into the dating pool just yet.
“I am still in the stage of really enjoying me, so I’m not there,” Kelly explained at the time.
