Sorry Shakira fans! It looks like the Colombian pop star’s time on The Voice’s hot seat is up – for now. Host Carson Daly confirmed to Us Weekly that Christina Aguilera would be returning to her post for season 5.
The “Beautiful” singer is reportedly earning $12.5 million for the hit NBC Show. While Aguilera gets back to work after taking time off to promote her album, Lotus, Shakira plans to focus on her new music and motherhood. She welcomed her first son, Milian, back in January.
“I’m not going to be able to do next season because I have to get back to my motherhood and also get back to the studio, the recording studio, to finish my album, the one that I started working on before I had to deliver a baby and before I took this gig with The Voice,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” said to Us Weekly. However, she also added, “I have to take a little break. But you never know, I might come back!”
NBC reps did not discuss the judges during their upfront presentation in New York on Monday.
