Kelly Clarkson has recently taken time off from her eponymous show, with a rotating panel of guest hosts taking on duties instead. While it has not been revealed why she is taking a break, she could be spending time at her home which she shares with her two children, River Rose and Remington.
The family rent a place in New York, and she described their current location as a “concrete jungle”.
The Wayfair ambassador spoke to Homes & Gardens about her styling for her own collection. “I’m very into nature, and you’ll notice that with the things I’ve curated for the line. New York can feel like a concrete jungle, so I like to bring life into my home.”
The city wasn’t actually a first choice for Kelly. Speaking to the Today show, she admitted: “I’ll be real honest: I thought I was making a horrible decision.”
She continued: “I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn’t be in LA. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can’t really do a show from there quite yet. So I was like, ‘The only other option would probably be New York’.”
Now she’s so happy with her choice and she has told People magazine: “It’s a beautiful place. It’s a beautiful energy. The energy of it is very me.”
Surprise room

Speaking on her own show, she explained that her large house had a spare room and that’s how she filled it.
“I moved here and the house was perfect because it was in between my kids’ school and work but it’s too large. I was like. ‘What am I going to do with this room?’ And then I decorated it the first year for Christmas and was like, ‘That was a lot of work, we’ll just shut the doors until [next] Christmas’.”
Marital homes
When Kelly and her husband Brandon Blackstock announced their split in 2020, it rocked the A-list world. The following years saw them part ways with two family homes. The first was a huge Tennessee mansion which sold for a whopping $6.3 million (£4.5 million) and then an eight-bedroom San Fernando Valley residence, which was listed for $9.9 million but sold for $1.7 million less.
In 2024, Kelly finished paying spousal support to her former husband Brandon, after messy court proceedings for their divorce. According to US Weekly, it was a $115,000 monthly payment, which has now come to an end.
