Food Network did not renew Valerie Bertinelli's contract due to budget cuts and replaced her with Kardea Brown for Season 13 of Kids Baking Championship.
- On Friday, Kids Baking Championship returned after a two-year hiatus with Kardea Brown replacing Valerie Bertinelli as cohost for Season 13 alongside Duff Goldman.
- Food Network chose not to renew Valerie Bertinelli's overall contract when it ended in 2022, reports say the decision followed budget cuts at parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.
- On Friday, Valerie Bertinelli said she learned via a third-party text that she would not return and posted then deleted messages on X, admitting the decision 'really hurt my feelings' and 'It really sucks'.
- As a result, Kardea Brown replaces Valerie Bertinelli, who did not renew her contract when it expired, altering the show's longtime lineup.
- Bertinelli originally signed a 2018 deal extended to 2022 with Seasons 11 and 12, while Brown brings prior Food Network credits including Delicious Miss Brown.
