Grammy Award-winning singer Kelly Clarkson covers the May issue of Redbook with 10-month-old daughter River Rose. The American Idol alum, 32, talks about healthy body image and married life with husband Brandon Blackstock.

On the body-shaming she’s experienced: “I don’t obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it… There are just some people who are born skinny and with a great metabolism—that is not me. I wish I had a better metabolism. But someone else probably wishes they could walk into a room and make friends with everyone like I can. You always want what someone else has.

On putting her marriage first: “I always swore ours would not be a relationship where we have to schedule sex. That is never going to happen. We put each other first. I call it the oxygen-mask mentality—take care of yourself first.”

On her views of a healthy relationship: “Brandon is not my other half. He’s a whole and I’m a whole. I’ve never believed in someone taking care of me, and that’s probably because I grew up poor and without a lot of family stability.”
