Real reason behind Kelly Clarkson’s mysterious extended absence from talk show revealed

THE REAL reason behind Kelly Clarkson’s mysterious absence from her talk show has been revealed after the host has been missing for an extended period of time.

Kelly, 42, missed two weeks of The Kelly Clarkson Show in late March without warning and returned earlier this month with no explanation of her absence.

While she did cite “personal reasons” as to why she stepped away, she did not disclose any further details.

As fans continue to speculate as to what is really going on, an insider has claimed that she had to flee to be with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock.

”Her ex-husband is sick and she took the kids to see him,” a source told NewsNation.

The former couple share two kids together: a daughter, River Rose, 10, and son, Remington Alexander, 9.

Brandon and Kelly wed in 2013, but went through a bitter split and a nasty custody battle when she filed for divorce in June 2020.

Their divorce proceedings were lengthy and involved a nasty court battle between the exes for custody of their children.

After years of battling it out, a judge ruled in 2023 that Kelly had won primary physical custody of her kids.

Following their split, Kelly moved from their Los Angeles family home to New York City where she now filmed her show.

Brandon, who was a former entertainment manager, left the industry to pursue a career in rodeo on his Montana ranch.

FAMILY MATTERS

Previously, a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Kelly had been absent from her show as she “needed to be present” at home.

“She has been dealing with a family matter and has needed to be present for it,” the insider said, assuring that it’s “nothing very serious.”

Her unexpected absence was first noticed during a taping on March 3.

Barbie actor Simu Liu filled in at the last moment for the taping, stating, “Kelly isn’t able to make it today. We’re sending her our very best.”

“I did not know that I was doing this until about five minutes ago when I arrived to promote my new movie Last Breath,” he said.

Brooke Shields also stepped in as guest host, along with several other well-known personalities stepping up to take her place while Kelly remained away.

Willie Geist was serving as the guest host for the American Idol winner on March 12.
