Kelly Clarkson has had thousands of people looking out for her ever since it was revealed that her ex-husband and the father of her two children, Brandon Blackstock, passed away due to cancer a few weeks ago. However, she’s slowly beginning to return from her grieving break.

The singer-songwriter’s television show announced that the talk show and the famous host will return for its seventh season later this month. After she canceled her remaining Las Vegas residency shows, fans have been worried about not only the status of her well-being, but also whether or not she’d be returning to her popular talk show, which she’s been absent from in the past. Read more about her latest show news and her fans’ reactions below.

Kelly Clarkson Reveals Her Talk Show's Return Date On Social Media Following Her Ex-Husband's Death

The American Idol alum has been going through a lot over the last month, as her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, with whom she shared two young children, died at 48 years old due to cancer. The news was rather unexpected, as only about a day before his passing, the vocalist announced she had to cancel some of her remaining Las Vegas shows because the father of her children had been "ill."

 

While she hasn't made many public statements, a source tied to Kelly told media sources that she has been "devastated" by Brandon's passing, despite their previous difficult and messy divorce, which has involved various lawsuits and legal battles since 2020, when they first filed.

 

Over the last year, the mom-of-two has been absent here and there from her famous talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, which many believe is due to the fact that her ex and children's dad was unwell. Therefore, when fans heard about his passing, they shared doubts that she may not want to return to her talk show.

 

However, this past week, Kelly and her show's team announced via Instagram that it would be back on air with new episodes for its seventh season on September 29th.

Tons of fans flooded the comments section under the post, sharing excitement and relief that not only was the show going to be continuing for a seventh season, but that the "Behind These Hazel Eyes" singer is seemingly well enough to return to filming, despite her family's latest tragedy.

 

"Yay!" commented a fan. "Can't wait!"

 

"Looking forward to it!" added another. "The hype starts now," commented a follower. "Can't wait for the new season."

 

One fan was especially excited to find out the pop singer would be returning as the show's host, commenting, "Can't wait to have more Kelly in my life."

 

Others applauded her for finding the strength to return to such a busy job despite her family's terrible loss, writing, "Kelly can basically do anything."
