Is Luke Bryan leaving “American Idol” soon?
According to Radar Online, the country singer is thinking about leaving the singing reality TV show after the current season ends.
Fans of the show who only watch for Luke have good news: he has already been guaranteed another year of judging, keeping him on until the spring.
Luke, along with co-judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, will return, and Ryan Seacrest will continue to host.
The singer of “That’s My Kind of Night” is leaving one of the longest-running reality singing competition shows to spend more time with his family.
According to the source, the 46-year-old Georgia native occasionally travels all night to Nashville to spend a few hours with his boys – but he recognizes that this is insufficient.
Luke Bryan is the father of five children. Two of them are with his wife Caroline Boyer, whom he has been married to since 2006. They adopted two nieces and one nephew after the tragic death of Luke’s sister, Kelly, in 2007. Ben, Kelly’s husband, died in 2017.
Thomas and Tatum, their two biological children, are 14 and 12 years old, respectively.
According to one source, the “One Margarita” singer wants more freedom to create new experiences with his family, which could lead him to drop his judging role because he already has a full plate.
They also stated that Luke Bryan intends to cut back on touring because his wealth “isn’t worth a hill of beans” if he misses any more of his boys’ milestones.
