Kelly Clarkson announces that the talk show is ending after seven seasons

If Radar Previously reported, following the untimely death of ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, insiders believed this could mean the end of her talk show as she lived the life of a single parent.

“Kelly has had an incredible life and everything she touches seems to be a hit,” a source said in late January. “She loves her talk show, but it is at the bottom of her list of things she would like to continue doing in the future. She will continue to give it to her throughout the season, but she would like to wrap it up and end it while still at the top.”

At the time, they noted that she was committed to her staff, which could be “one of the main reasons” she would consider staying for another season.

As Blackstock battled cancer, her staff stood by her side, keeping quiet about her absences in February and March 2025 and attributing them to a “personal matter.”

“Kelly is somewhat back to where she was before Brandon died, but she’s not quite there yet,” another source added.
