Kelly Rowland Talks Reuniting With Her Estranged Dad, Beyonce Birth & More in Marie Claire Magazine

Kelly Rowland is UK Marie Claire’s January 2012 cover girl.

Looking gorgeous as ever Kelly has alot to celebrate this Christmas. Kelly has one of the best pop albums of the year and established herself as a solo artist, not to mention the added endorsements overseas that also landed her a gig as a UK judge for the hit show X-Factor UK show, and lastly her BF, Beyonce is expecting a child.

But that’s not all! Kelly is looking forward to reunite with her dad whom she grew up without for the holidays.

Check out the excerpts

On moving with her mom from Atlanta to Houston and away from her dad:
“I was just the kind of kid who could get on with anyone – I talked a lot. I still talk a lot. I remember I’d watch my mom do her job as a nanny and see her bosses with their kids and say, ‘OK, this is a nice life. I want that.’ Seeing how someone else was living put a drive in me.”

On whether she plans to reunite with her dad after 22 years:
“I do plan on seeing him over the holidays. I’m nervous as hell. I don’t want to think about it. We’ll see what happens.”

On whether she wants to have kids now that Beyonce is expecting:
“No. I will babysit and change a diaper or two, and then give it back. I do want kids, but every time I think about a little person growing inside of me and getting bigger and bigger and then having to come out…. a watermelon coming out of something the size of a lemon is insane to me.”
