The 30-year-old has had a fractured relationship with her dad Christopher Lovett - but she has now decided to build bridges and plans to spend some time with him over Christmas after seeing him in a magazine.
In an interview in British Marie Claire magazine, the Down for Whatever singer said: 'A couple of weeks ago I was reading through a magazine and I saw a picture of him. I didn't even know who it was until I read the caption... I haven't seen him for 22 years.
'After that, 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.'
Kelly admits she doesn't have many happy memories of him.
She added: 'They're pretty bleak, to be honest. My earliest memories of him are short visits. It wasn't really bonding time. Me and my mum were always chasing after him. As a kid, that's not a good feeling.'
Rowland even surprised herself with her reaction when she saw his picture.
The star continued: 'I completely lost it. My camp saw me disappear into the bathroom and they were like, 'What happened?'
'I didn't know there was so much emotion still there.
'You close so many different things of your life, and I like to shut them off and keep moving. But, in that moment, it just sucked everything out of me and I cried so hard. There were so many different emotions - confusion more than anything.'
