Kelly Clarkson’s eponymous daytime talk show will end later this year, following the hit’s current season.
“The Kelly Clarkson Show” will run through this fall, ending with the seventh season, the 43-year-old host announced Monday on Instagram.
“I 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,” said the six-time Daytime Emmy winner.
Though the move “was not an easy decision,” Clarkson said closing the curtain on the show “will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”
Clarkson’s ex-husband and former manager Brandon Blackstock — with whom she shared daughter River, 11, and 9-year-old son Remington — died last summer following a private battle with cancer. A day prior, Clarkson delayed her Las Vegas residency.

An insider last month told People that Clarkson “is obviously heartbroken for her kids. Losing their dad is incredibly painful and confusing,” but that the “Breakaway” crooner is “not someone who falls apart.”
Clarkson, rather, “looks at life realistically and does everything she can to make things as steady and loving as possible for her kids.”
Clarkson added in her statement that though she’s concluding her show, she isn’t completely disappearing from the public eye and would “still be making music, playing shows here and there” and may occasionally return to judge “The Voice.”
