Kelly – who won the inaugural season of American Idol back in 2002 – began hosting her NBC daytime talk show in 2019.
Recently, fans were worried after she mysteriously “vanished” from the program.
Andy Cohen stepped in as host on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Monday (April 21) – but viewers were baffled by the star’s absence.
However, Kelly was soon back to helm the remainder of this week’s shows.
In March, the music superstar missed 10 episodes of her daytime series.
She was absent for two weeks without warning and returned with no explanation of her absence.
Actor Simu Liu filled in at the last moment for a 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 stepped in to host the show, along with several other well-known personalities stepping up to take her place while Kelly remained away, such as Willie Geist.
Although Kelly did cite “personal reasons” as to why she stepped away, she did not disclose any further details.
Fans continued to speculate as to what is really going on, while 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.
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.”
“I just want to know if Kelly is okay because it’s now been kind of a long time,” said one.
“Is Kelly okay?” asked another fan on social media.
