Country Crooner Luke Bryan Considers QUITTING 'American Idol' After 2023 Season Wraps, Plans To 'Cut Back' On Touring
Dec. 1 2022, Published 7:30 p.m. ET
Luke Bryan is considering walking away from American Idol after this next season wraps to enjoy more time with his family, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Fortunately for fans of the hit show, the country crooner is already committed to another year of judging, which will keep him on the small screen through the spring.
Bryan will be back with Katy Perry and Lionel Richie as judges while Ryan Seacrest is returning as host.
"Luke sometimes flies all night to get back home to Nashville just to spend a few hours with his sons, but he realizes that's not enough," a pal said.
Insiders claim the One Margarita singer wants to have more freedom to make new memories with wife Caroline Boyer, 42, and their boys, 14-year-old Thomas and 12-year-old Tatum, which may lead him to ditch his judging gig considering he already has a full plate.
Bryan and Boyer have been married since 2006, welcoming Thomas in 2008 and Tatum in 2010.
"Luke is looking at cutting back on his touring as well," the source spilled about his plans going forward, claiming the devoting dad said his "$150 million fortune "isn't worth a hill of beans" if he misses out on his sons' milestones.
