Kelly Clarkson Prioritizes Family, Leaves Talk Show

Kelly Clarkson has announced that her talk show will conclude with its current seventh season later this year. The singer revealed that her decision stems from a desire to prioritize her family life and spend more time with her children, River and Remy. This personal reevaluation was significantly influenced by the passing of her ex-husband last summer, which prompted a deeper appreciation for life's preciousness.

While the talk show's run is ending, Clarkson remains committed to other professional endeavors. She is currently serving as a judge on Season 29 of The Voice and is set to resume her Las Vegas residency, Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions, this summer. Clarkson acknowledged that her packed schedule contributed to the difficult but necessary decision to step away from her talk show, stating there was simply "too much on the plate."

Despite the show's success and the impact on its crew, Clarkson emphasized that the decision, while hard due to the program's positive performance and its team members' livelihoods, was ultimately an easy one as a mother. She assured audiences that she is not disappearing from the public eye entirely, but is stepping back from the talk show commitment to better manage her various roles and responsibilities.
