One of the users asked,

“Are you still acting? And if not, why did you decide to give it up?”

To the question, she disclosed that she is not acting right now. Carlson said that her husband Dan Stanchfield relocated from Los Angeles to San Diego because of his work in the Navy.

Kelly said,

“Why am I not acting? Not for any reason, really. Just that we live far away. I need to be in L.A. and we’re not for my husband’s work, which is down – he’s in the Navy, so we’re way down in southern San Diego. And that’s kind of it.”

She added that her leaving Hollywood was not because of any bad experience or any bad incident. Kelly loved being in Hollywood.

She wanted to support her husband as he has a business where they need to be out of the city. She revealed that she is a manager’s wife as her husband is the star of the family.

Likewise, she went on to say,

“Maybe I’ll go back one day, I don’t know,” said Carlson. “I’m open. I’m kind of a free spirit. I kind of am, and I’m kind of not. But I’m always up for new experiences. And Dan is such a great guy, I’m not gonna say no. Yeah, you don’t say no to this kind… No, no. You make adjustments.”
