Kelly Rowland Talks To Russ Parr 

Some of the highlights:

Her favorite version of “Motivation” remixes is R.Kelly’s. “I felt like I was right in the middle of ‘You remind me of my jeep’.”
She teared up when she first held the hard copy of the album since it took forever for it to finally happen.

50 Cent has always been “Team Kelly” so he’s helped her out a lot.

She wants a husband and 3 kids. She previously wanted 5 kids.

Despite Mathew Knowles saying he’s making a reunion happen, Kelly says the girls haven’t talked about a Destiny’s Child reunion amongst themselves.

Workout routine has a lot to do with diet. “I WISH I could eat southern food.” She says she juices 2-3x a day with all types of vegetables and greens. And celeb trainer Jeanette Jenkins whipped her into shape.

Kelly’s rule of life: “My faith has gotten me to where I am and kept me in the game 15 years, even when I wanted to give up.”

Congrats Kelly!
