Kelly Clarkson gets emotional over her two children following mysterious absence from talk show

Kelly Clarkson became emotional over her two children during the 1,000th episode celebration of The Kelly Clarkson Show on Thursday - shortly after her mysterious absence from the talk show.

The star's emotional reaction to her kids during Thursday's celebration comes shortly after Clarkson sparked concern among fans when she was notably absent from the talk show for 10 episodes. On social media, fans shared their worries about her well-being — but also simultaneously applauded her for her stunning cover of I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston to celebrate six successful seasons of her show. The American Idol alum reflected on hosting her show during the COVID-19 pandemic and taping episodes when she had various injuries over the years, including when she had 'an eye patch and with my leg in a cast.'
