Is Kelly Clarkson Leaving Her Talk Show? Shocking Insider Claims Revealed!
Kelly Clarkson is surrounded by talk about the future of her self-named talk show, with whispers suggesting that she might choose to step away from the daytime program once her contract with NBC ends in 2026. However, Clarkson has not confirmed these reports herself. This uncertainty continues several months after the Grammy winner missed several tapings of her show and now, an insider has shared insights into how Clarkson felt during those absences.
In March, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” was temporarily without its host for close to two weeks due to a personal issue Kelly Clarkson had to address. Initially, it was stated that she needed to step away for a private matter. Subsequent reports suggested that her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, was unwell, and she traveled with their kids to see him. Although the exact reasons remain undisclosed, Clarkson’s absence from tapings garnered attention. A source close to the situation told Page Six that it wasn’t easy for Clarkson but was necessary.
This whole situation has caused her great distress. However, similar to everyone else, Kelly craves acceptance, and she found herself facing a challenging phase in her life. She realized it was necessary for her to take a brief break.
During a break in “Breakaway” host Kelly Clarkson’s schedule, well-known personalities such as Brooke Shields and Andy Cohen temporarily took over. Although Page Six’s confidential informant didn’t specify a particular reason for Clarkson’s absence in March, they stressed that the former “American Idol” contestant has consistently valued her family above all else. The source further mentioned that the versatile Clarkson had gained an indispensable benefit from this situation.
She places great importance on her family, placing them at the top of her list, yet the recent events seem to have brought about a sense of humility in her… It appears that these occurrences have granted her a period of insight, if you will.
