Even with a hefty paycheck, the mom-of-two could still reportedly leave The Kelly Clarkson Show at any moment.
“She’s at a crossroads — she’s torn because everyone is telling her she’d be crazy to step away from huge success, but missing time with her kids weighs heavily on her,” Life & Style quoted a source.
It resonated with what multiple sources told Page Six, stating she wants to exit the show and leave New York City to spend time with her children, daughter River Rose and son Remington.
“Kelly’s number one priority is her children, and they always will be,” said one insider. “The show is grueling. It’s a whole lot of work, and I hear that Kelly would like to spend more time down South.”
The “Stronger” hitmaker, who was born in Texas, moved from Los Angeles to New York for the show.
Clarkson also spoke about her children on the 1,000th episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. At the time, she shared her family “is the most meaningful change” for her.
She emotionally added, “Over the years I’ve had my kiddos onstage with me and they’ve always blown me away. So this is a look back on those memories.”
“I’ve actually never seen this,” she said of the montage on the program. “So you’re crying. I’m not.”
