NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘What Not to Wear’ star Stacy London and Clinton Kelly have recently reunited first time on ‘Today’ after their 10-year feud.
During the ‘Today with Hoda and Jenna’ segment, the co-hosts of ‘What Not to Wear’ had their first public reunion in a decade on Thursday. During the reunion, they disclosed that they had resolved their well-publicized feud.
London and Kelly co-hosted the fashion makeover show from 2003 to 2013 which featured individuals nominated by friends and family for their questionable fashion choices.
While their on-screen disagreements seemed playful, there were signs of potential underlying tensions off-camera in 2017. This became evident when Kelly disclosed that London had blocked him on Twitter.

On Thursday, September 28, ‘Today’ host Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager kicked off their segment ‘Today with Hoda and Jenna’ as they welcomed ‘What Not to Wear’ hosts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly.
The former co-stars reportedly reunited publicly for the first time in a decade and opened up about their years-long feud.
Kelly told Kotb and Hager, “After seeing the same clickbait story over and over and over on Instagram about how much we hated each other, I was like, ‘I can’t take this anymore.’ Because we don’t really hate each other. We love each other, as a matter of fact.”
Meanwhile, London sat next to Kelly as she agreed with him.
He continued, “We have very strong feelings toward each other. So I reached out to Stacy and I was like, ‘Can we put this behind us? Let’s talk it out.’ And we had a really emotional conversation. It was during the pandemic, sort of as the pandemic was ending. And we just talked through it all.”
London chimed in adding more to the reunion story, “Oh, I sobbed my eyes out.”
She continued, “I let it all hang out. I told Clinton everything that made me sad, everything that hurt me, every way I thought I hurt him. All the petty grudges, all the stupid crap.”
