The rare appearance of her little one on the red carpet didn’t go unnoticed, with fans quick to point out the uncanny resemblance between the two.

Behind Remy’s delightful appearance lies a story of perseverance and triumph. Kelly opened up about the challenges her son faced with a speech impediment rooted in a seemingly trivial ear problem in infancy. A buildup of wax deep within his ears had created a barrier to sound, leaving the young boy struggling to express himself and “spoke as if he was underwater.”

The discovery of this issue led to a nearly nine-month setback in Remy’s speech development, according to Kelly. Intensive work with a speech therapist, even via Zoom, became part of their routine.
Kelly celebrates every step forward, saying, “The big milestone for us is Remy getting to really find out his personality and his identity because it’s been frustrating for him not to be able to really vocalize his emotion.”
Kelly’s maternal instinct extends beyond speech therapy. She’s committed to ensuring her children’s emotional well-being, asking them nightly if they are happy before bedtime. This simple question opens the door to helping them navigate their “big feelings,” fostering a household where open communication is paramount.
