Once again, Kelly Clarkson fans are concerned about the singer’s whereabouts after missing another episode of her talk show. Andy Cohen surprised fans by hosting another episode of the show, marking Kelly’s eleventh absence of 2025. The situation has everyone asking the same question: What’s going on with The Kelly Clarkson Show?
Andy Cohen hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show in Kelly’s absence
When Kelly first went MIA, she had a slew of guest hosts filling in on the show. Andy hosted an episode. They had Brooke Shields fill in for a bit. It was truly a hodgepodge of celebs, yet somehow, everyone remained tight-lipped on why Kelly was absent from the show.
Kelly re-emerged on March 21 to celebrate her show’s 1000th episode. She delivered an emotional speech to commemorate the milestone, but still, no details about why she missed so many days of the show.
On April 21, Andy showed up on The Kelly Clarkson Show for a second time to fill in for Kelly. That prompted Kelly’s fans to assume that she was preparing to take another extended break, however, we believe this may have been a one-off.
Last month, Andy told his listeners on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live that he filmed multiple episodes of The Kelly Clarkson Show. One of those episodes already aired, and since Kelly’s show isn’t filmed live, we can confirm that the April 21 episode has been sitting in the vault for a few weeks.
However, Kelly isn’t off the hook. Questions are still lingering about why she missed so many episodes in the first place. A report from NewsNation suggested that her absence was related to her ex-husband and former manager, Brandon Blackstock.
“Her ex-husband is sick and she took the kids to see him,” an anonymous source claimed.
Until we hear it from Kelly, we’ll take that with a grain of salt. In the meantime, we’re wishing her and Brandon the best.
The Kelly Clarkson Show airs on weekdays on over 200 stations.
