I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s happening to us<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kelly Clarkson Show,\u201d the Daytime Emmy Award-winning series hosted by the Grammy-winning musician, is ending after a seven-season run. Kelly Clarkson<\/a> announced Monday that she had decided to step away from hosting the daily talk show. <\/p>\n

In a statement, Clarkson said she made her decision to prioritize spending time with her children. The former singer had two children, in 2014 and 2016, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who died<\/a> in August at age 48. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at \u2018The Kelly Clarkson Show,\u2019 both in Los Angeles and New York,\u201d Clarkson said in a statement. \u201cThis was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting \u2018The Kelly Clarkson Show.\u2019 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.\u201d <\/p>\n

The syndicated talk show launched in September 2019 after Clarkson, who won over TV audiences as the first-ever winner of \u201cAmerican Idol,\u201d<\/a> in 2002, returned<\/a> to the world of musical reality competitions as a coach on \u201cThe Voice\u201d in 2018. \u201cThe Kelly Clarkson Show\u201d showcased the \u201cSince U Been Gone\u201d singer\u2019s affable, approachable charm in her sit-down interviews with celebrities and everyday heroes, as well as her talents in popular segments including \u201cKellyoke,\u201d which saw Clarkson sing covers of other people\u2019s songs. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner,\u201d Clarkson added in her statement. \u201cThis isn\u2019t goodbye. I\u2019ll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on \u2018The Voice\u2019 from time to time. … You never know where I might show up next. But for now, I want to thank y\u2019all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seventh season of \u201cThe Kelly Clarkson Show\u201d kicked off in September and production will continue as planned. Clarkson will continue to host Season 7, with a few yet-to-be-announced guest hosts. The episodes for Season 7 will run through September. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s happening to us. \u201cThe Kelly Clarkson Show,\u201d the Daytime Emmy Award-winning series hosted by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[10286,3409,6848,78430,78429,3410,48,52,51,47,50,49,63,592,278,9756,58476,3025,29946,58736,10605],"class_list":["post-161630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-celebrity","tag-child","tag-decision","tag-former-singer","tag-kelly-clarkson","tag-kid","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-people","tag-season","tag-september","tag-spending-time","tag-statement","tag-talent","tag-talk-show","tag-voice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
