It looks like Season 7 of "The Voice" will be getting two new judges. Days after Cee Lo Green announced his surprise departure from the singing competition show; Christina Aguilera revealed that she's pregnant with her second child.
Sources told Hollywood Life that producers are now considering replacing Aguilera with a new judge next season.
"They will have to replace Christina as she will be focused on her upcoming child and will not be able to focus on the demands that 'The Voice' puts on the judges," the source told the site.
However, Mark Burnett, executive producer of "The Voice," said there's been no talk of replacing the "Beautiful" singer.
"The hardest part [of filming] is the jigsaw puzzle of schedules," he told reporters at a press conference, Hollywood Life reports. "No one can be permanent; it depends on their schedules... [replacing Christina] hasn't even been a discussion."
Almost a week ago, Green dropped a bombshell during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" when he announced he wouldn't be returning to the show. Instead the singer said he wants to focus on making new music and pursue other opportunities.
"I'm going to continue my relationship with NBC," he said. "I have a television show development deal with them as well and hopefully some other talk show opportunities for later in the year. But yeah, I'm going to miss 'The Voice' too. So I'm not coming back, guys."
According to TheWrap, NBC and Burnett were planning on firing Green but wanted to make the announcement together. They had no idea he was going to reveal the news to DeGeneres.
"A second individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap that NBC wanted to announce Green's departure mutually with the singer but that Green decided he wanted to do it on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the site wrote.
The source claims the singer has been suffering from "emotional issues" relating to his legal trouble.
