Kelly Clarkson ends Emmy-winning talk show to focus on kids after ex-husband’s death

Kelly Clarkson announced the end of her daytime talk show after seven seasons.

In an Instagram post shared on Monday, Feb. 2, the 43-year-old singer announced her popular talk show, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," will come to an end after its seventh season.

"I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' both in Los Angeles and New York," the statement began. "There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons."

She continued by expressing how "grateful and honored" she is "to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for" and to "all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us" on the show.

Most of all, she thanked "all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner."

"Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,'" she wrote. "Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives."

Clarkson shares two children — River Rose, 11, and Remington, 9 — with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, who she was married to for about seven years, from October 2013 to June 2020.

Blackstock died in August 2025 at the age of 48, following a battle with melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
