Jewel Opens Up About Relationship with 'Silly' Son Kase, 12, as They Pose in Rare Photo Together (Exclusive)


Jewel opens up to PEOPLE about her relationship with her 12-year-old son Kase, saying that the two are "very, very, very silly."

In an interview with PEOPLE ahead of the May 3 VIP opening of her new exhibit, The Portal: An Art Experience by Jewel, at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the musician, 49, opened up about her close bond with son Kase, 12, saying that her approach to motherhood has "changed a lot over the years." It wasn't easy in the beginning for me to be really present," Jewel says, referencing her divorce with ex-husband Ty Murray, with whom she shares Kase. "I have less mothering ahead of me than I have behind me, and it's so sad, so it was a way of me dealing with my own feelings about my son getting older and the transitions we're going to both be making in our life," Jewel says.
