Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on February 11, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Kelly Rowland! From Destiny's Child diva to solo superstar, you've always been our favorite "Independent Woman." Whether you're dazzling us on stage or charming audiences onscreen, your talent shines brighter than Beyoncé’s sequins (shh... don't tell her we said that!).

Your recent successes continue to inspire—judging and mentoring aspiring artists with grace and humor proves you’re still the queen of motivation. May this birthday bring as much joy as every time we've tried—and failed—to hit those iconic high notes in "Dilemma." Keep slaying vocals and style; clearly age is just another number you effortlessly outshine!
