Clarkson spoke with actor Henry Winkler about his most recent children&#8217;s book, noting that it is the 38th book that he has written even though he has dyslexia himself. This fact felt personal to Clarkson after she revealed that her eight-year-old daughter, River, also has dyslexia. &#8220;I was driving my daughter to school yesterday, and she&#8217;s dyslexic,&#8221; shared Clarkson. &#8220;And you have told me that you&#8217;re dyslexic as well. I find that amazing, to tell my daughter that you&#8217;ve written like 40 books and you&#8217;re dyslexic.&#8221; She went on to add that her daughter &#8220;was getting bullied at school for not being able to read like all the other kids.&#8221; Winkler pointed out that one in five people have dyslexia, Clarkson responding that she had &#8220;no idea&#8221; how common it was until her daughter&#8217;s school &#8220;did a whole thing on dyslexia&#8221; where they gave information on it and even listed other celebrities that struggle with it as well. Winkler shared a sweet response saying, &#8220;She\u2019s part of the tribe. River, how you learn has nothing to do with how brilliant you are.&#8221; The actor&#8217;s sweet words to River brought Clarkson to tears, where she joked saying &#8220;My makeup artist is gonna kill me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/weJnKV-KpmI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Clarkson shares her two children, River, 8, and Remi, 7, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The pair was married from 2013 to 2020, where the finalized their divorce in 2022. Clarkson has been very open about her divorce, saying she has made an effort to keep her kids in mind while going through the tough time. &#8220;I literally ask my kids every night when we&#8217;re snuggling, &#8216;Are you happy? And if you&#8217;re not, what could make you happier?\u00a0Sometimes they&#8217;ll say \u2014 especially the past two years, a lot of it, and it kills me and I want them to be honest, so I don&#8217;t ever say, &#8216;Oh God, don&#8217;t tell me that&#8217; \u2014 but a lot of times it would be like, &#8216;You know, I&#8217;m just really sad. I wish mommy and daddy\u00a0were in the same house.&#8217; And they&#8217;re really honest about it.
