It's becoming more common for the guests to host the Kelly Clarkson Show these days than it is for the woman herself. She has missed yet another episode, making it the 11th of the spring, leaving fans in the dark.

This week, Andy Cohen was due to be the guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show. But instead, he hosted it in her absence. Thankfully, it's his job to host talk shows, so it was not too much of a struggle. He just did his usual job on a new stage. However, it was a last-minute switch, again.
The Kelly Clarkson Show has offered no explanation as to why Kelly has been absent so often. Honestly, they don't need to either. They previously explained that it was a personal matter and have mostly left it at that.
Andy Cohen did not explain why Kelly Clarkson wasn't on her show either. Like the previous surprise hosts, he just got on with business. Whatever is going on at home, Kelly Clarkson is keeping it private.
Rumours Circulate About Kelly Clarkson's Absence
Despite her tight-lipped approach to her absence, there have been a few rumours about the reason. Originally, people said she was looking to quit. She had hit her 1000th episode, and people suspected she was willing to call it a day. However, this rumour has taken a back seat.
Currently, it is speculated that her absence from The Kelly Clarkson Show is due to her ex-husband's health. Kelly and Brandon Blackstock separated in 2022 but have been taking care of their kids together. There is a rumour that his health has taken a turn for the worse.
She will have been spending time with both him and her children at this time. Her kids are her priority, and if that means pulling in a surprise host from time to time, then so be it.
This would align with previous reports made about her absence from her show. It was stated that she was dealing with a family emergency requiring the guest to host her show. But, as always, it's her private life, and if she wants to keep it to herself, that's her business.
