Tom Nitti’s Heartfelt Exit: Fans of The Voice were left feeling both heartbroken and encouraged when Tom Nitti, a prominent competitor on Reba McEntire’s team, unexpectedly decided to leave the competition. But his departure from the program wasn’t due to the usual factors; rather, a contentious custody battle involving his two children was to blame.
Tom thanked everyone on social media for their unwavering support, posting, “Thank you everyone for the support.” You have no idea how much I value it. For a while, I followed my dream and relished every second of it. Additionally, I’m positive that I’m at the correct place at this time. My two children are aware that I have no intention of giving up on this desire.
The final line of his heartfelt speech was taken from Cody Johnson’s song “‘Til You Can’t,” which he had sung during the Battles round. “If you are going to love someone, hold them close and for as long as you can, until you are unable to do so.”
After a moving performance of Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” during the Blinds round, Nitti secured a coveted seat on Reba McEntire’s team on The Voice. Later, he sang “‘Til You Can’t” by Dylan Carter and the Knockouts with the Temptations’ “(I Know) I’m Losing You,” showcasing his talent.

Unbeknownst to many viewers, Tom was originally deemed eligible for the 23rd season of The Voice, but his duties as a New York State Trooper required him to postpone his candidature for a year. He filed for divorce just five months before season 24 premiered, during a turbulent time in his personal life. He acknowledged that while the Knockouts were going on, he got an email from his attorneys telling him to get back home because their former wife was requesting primary custody of their kids.
Nitti stated candidly in an interview with the Utica Observer-Dispatch, “I made this choice because I couldn’t imagine losing my kids, not because I missed them.” When McEntire gave him a lifeline to stay on the programme during the Knockouts, it was clear how much the emotional toll had taken.
After giving it some thought, Nitti was pleased with his choice but wondered if it had to come to that. “Although I am pleased with my choice, should it have come to that? Without a doubt not.

“We’ve been emailing back and forth, and all of our hearts went out to him because he couldn’t finish the competition,” Reba McEntire said, moved by Tom’s story. He is very good and strong. Although he will be watching and supporting us all, our thoughts are with him.
“I’m hoping one day my kids will be able to see why I did what I did instead of just thinking that I quit,” says Tom Nitti, expressing his hope that his kids may one day comprehend the sacrifice he made.
Fans of The Voice are left with a moving reminder that sometimes the difficulties in life come before even the biggest of dreams as they send a fond farewell to Tom Nitti.
