Pop star Christina Aguilera is reportedly in talks to reprise her judging role on 'The Voice' USA.

The 32-year-old singer will reclaim her judge's chair on the next season of the singing contest, ousting current mentor Shakira, said the Hollywood Reporter.

Aguilera left the show in 2012 after three seasons to promote her latest album 'Lotus'.

It is still unclear whether Cee Lo Green, who also departed last year, will be returning alongside her.

Producer Matt Burnett confirmed Shakira's departure and explained change was a natural progress when working with successful recording artists.

"Everybody can't coach for life because when you have people with current recording in the game, this is not their job.
 

"Their job is their fans and making music and being live, and so we knew from the beginning that this would happen, and we've had six coaches. They all have another life and their schedules," Burnett said.
