Kelly Clarkson has announced she will end her daytime talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” following its current seventh season to focus on her children. The singer confirmed the news in an Instagram statement after Page Six initially reported the show’s conclusion.
Clarkson expressed gratitude toward her production team, crew, guests, and fans who have supported the program since its 2019 premiere. She also thanked NBC for their partnership, calling the decision to leave “not easy” but necessary to prioritize her family. The Grammy winner shares daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9, with her late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who passed away in August 2025 following a private battle with melanoma.
Though stepping away from her talk show, Clarkson clarified that she will continue making music, performing, and may occasionally appear on “The Voice.” She emphasized, “This isn’t goodbye,” while thanking viewers for seven successful seasons.
Rumors about Clarkson’s departure began circulating in 2025, with sources citing the show’s grueling schedule as unsustainable amid changing daytime TV trends. Insiders noted her desire to relocate closer to family and concerns about staff livelihoods. NBC reportedly considered former “Today” host Hoda Kotb as a potential replacement during earlier discussions.
NBCUniversal confirmed the current season will continue airing through fall 2024 with Clarkson hosting, alongside occasional guest hosts. The network praised the show’s “consistent high-quality” run since its debut.
