Kelly Clarkson‘s kids won’t be allowed to “ever have” social media while they’re living with her. "I have informed them they’re not allowed to, under my roof, ever have it."
She argues that being on platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok “can be really hard on kids in general but especially kids with parents in the public eye.”
“My daughter was like, ‘Well, what if Dad lets me?’ I’m like, ‘Well, you’re there four days a month. Enjoy that.’ And right now he’s not letting them do it either,” Clarkson said. “I’ll listen when they’re older, but until they have a solid argument, it’s a no.”
She's not the only star who's keeping her kids off social media. Jennifer Garner said the same thing last spring.
“I just said to my kids, ‘Show me the articles that prove that social media is good for teenagers, and then we’ll have the conversation,'” Garner said. “Find scientific evidence that matches what I have that says that it’s not good for teenagers, then we’ll chat.”
As for how her kids feel about this, Garner said, “My eldest is grateful. It’s a long haul. I have a couple more to go, so just knock on wood. We’ll see if I really hang in there.”
Matthew McConaughey similarly opened up about being concerned about giving his son, Levi, access to social media. McConaughey and his wife announced that he was able to join Instagram on his 15th birthday over the summer.
