“My road to happiness hasn’t been an easy one. It hasn’t been peachy all the time, but I am so, so happy…”  — Kelly Rowland, ESSENCE

Last year, Kelly Rowland became a wife and mother. Then the unthinkable happened: she lost her own mom. But with the support of her husband, family and friends, she has found the grace to go on. Here—featured on ESSENCE’s April issue cover with handsome son, Titan Jewell Weatherspoon, and her husband, Tim Weatherspoon—Kelly shares her journey. For more on ESSENCE’s cover story, Oh Baby!, visit ESSENCE.com or pick the issue on newsstands this Friday. Thanks!
