Who Was Brandon Blackstock? Everything About Kelly Clarkson's Ex-Husband and Talent Manager
Blackstock was also the executive producer of The Kelly Clarkson Show's first season. His other TV credits include Blake Shelton Live: It's All About Tonight. He was also the former stepson and talent manager of Reba McEntire.
Clarkson met Blackstock for the first time in 2006 and started dating him in 2012. A year later, they tied the knot and stayed together for seven years before the American singer announced that she filed for divorce in 2020. After a two-year legal battle, their messy divorce was finalized in 2022. He was also Clarkson's talent manager for three years from 2017 to 2020.
Brandon Blackstock's Demise
Blackstock died on Thursday (August 7) at the age of 48 after battling cancer for three years, according to a statement released by a family representative. The news about his demise broke hours after Clarkson released a statement on social media about Blackstock's illness.
Informing her fans about a change in schedule for her upcoming Las Vegas residency show, the American Idol star released a statement on X (formerly Twitter) explaining the reason for abruptly cancelling the concerts. The American singer wrote about her ex-husband's illness and requested her fans' support.

However, the Since U Been Gone superstar did not share any details about Blackstock's illness. In a statement announcing his demise, the family representative said he was battling cancer for more than three years. The representative then said the talent manager was supported by his family and died peacefully.
"It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time," the statement read.
Blackstock survived with four children -- River, Remington, Savannah, and Seth (two from his previous marriage), grandson (Lake), father Narvel Blackstock, and siblings Chassidy, Shawna, and Shelby.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce namedrops 'scorching hot' Singapore
It has been more than a year since American football star Travis Kelce was in Singapore to attend his girlfriend Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour concerts at the National Stadium in March 2024, but the nation's heat and humidity is still on his mind. In a cover story interview with GQ for the US magazine's September issue, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end praised the American pop superstar for having the endurance and stamina of an athlete. "She may not think of herself as an athlete, but I've seen what she goes through. I've seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it's mind-blowing," he said. He shared the tough conditions Swift, 35, had to endure during her global The Eras Tour, comprising 149 sell-out concerts that ran from March 17, 2023, to Dec 8, 2024. Kelce, 35, zeroed in on her six shows in Singapore. Not only did she brave the heat generated by electronic equipment beneath the massive stage floor, but she also had to put up with the punishing weather. "The Eras Tour floor is literally a football field-sized computer. You take that into Singapore, where it is scorching hot, and all of a sudden you're feeling the fumes from the computer and you're feeling the fumes from the sun, and you're doing a show for three hours with a lot of energy, bringing it every single song," he said. "That is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday, and she's doing it three, four, five days in a row." This is not the first time Kelce has commented on Singapore's heat. In the March 13, 2024, episode of Kelce and his brother Jason's New Heights podcast, Kelce gave a glowing review of his visit between March 7 and 9, calling the city-state high-tech and futuristic, exceedingly well-planned-out and more interesting to him than Sydney, Australia, where he also travelled to for The Eras Tour. He also made nods to the diverse cuisine and the 38 deg C temperatures. In the same interview, Kelce gushed about the couple's relationship and how he is the "happiest guy in the world" since they started dating in 2023. He said they could relate to each other, revealing how they have a lot in common, such as entertaining sold-out stadiums. "I hadn't experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions. That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows." He also stressed that their romance is not a publicity stunt. "Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people. We're just two people who are in love," Kelce said, adding that their relationship happened very organically. Meanwhile, the celebrity couple look set to break records together in the days to come. A teaser clip from Swift's upcoming highly anticipated guest-starring episode of New Heights, featuring the Grammy-winning singer's surprise reveal of her new 12th studio album The Life Of A Showgirl, was posted on Aug 12. It became her most-viewed Instagram reel ever, garnering more than 130 million views in less than 24 hours. It has since received over 168 million views and 5.1 million "likes". The full podcast episode will be released on Aug 13, marking Swift's debut podcast interview and their inaugural joint interview appearance.

Who Is Brittney Marie Jones? Brandon Blackstock Was in a Relationship with Kelly Clarkson's Ex-Assistant at the Time of His Death, Obituary Reveals
Shocking revelations have come to light in the wake of the death of Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, last week at the age of 48. An obituary for the late talent manager revealed that he "building a life" with Clarkson's former assistant, Brittney Marie Jones, while he was battling cancer. Blackstock was married to Kelly Clarkson from 2013 until 2020 and was father to their two children, River, 11, and Remington, 9. The obituary, released on Tuesday, revealed that Blackstock had been romantically involved with Jones and was quietly starting a new life with her in Montana, a detail that came as an unknown fact to several of his fans. Affair Kept Secret Brittney Marie Jones Facebook "Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana," his obituary read. Clarkson's name was not mentioned anywhere in the lengthy obituary, though it did include mention of her and Blackstock's two children. Brandon Blackstock and Kelly Clarkson. Instagram "To say he was devoted seems cliché. It feels like an overused word, but it is the correct word. He was a devoted father. His four children were and will always be his greatest love and his greatest legacy," the obituary continued. "He was the son, brother, father, friend, and love you prayed to have in your life," it added. "Above all, he was a dreamer." Besides River and Remington, Blackstock was also father to Savannah, 23, and Seth, 18, from his first marriage to Melissa Ashworth — who, like Clarkson, was not mentioned in the obituary. Brittney Marie Jones Facebook Jones had previously been married to Greg Goose LaPoint, according to wedding photos posted on her Facebook in September 2021, though it remains unclear when the two separated. Clarkson and Blackstock reached a settlement in 2022 after a long and bitter legal battle, which included a custody battle over their children. Building a New Life Though Blackstock initially resisted moving out of the "Stronger" singer's Montana ranch, a court ordered him to leave the property in June 2022. Shortly afterward, he bought a $1.8 million ranch in Butte, Montana, according to Us Weekly, and went on to establish Valley View Rodeo, where Jones served as his executive assistant. Brandon Blackstock with Brittney Marie Jones Facebook "I successfully assistant managed day to day for artist, Kelly Clarkson under manager, Brandon Blackstock in Los Angeles for music and television," Jones' LinkedIn profile read at the time, according to The Sun. "After a change in management for Ms. Clarkson I transitioned to Executive Assistant for Mr. Blackstock's cattle operation in Montana where I currently run the office and administration work," it continued. "I also currently fulfill personal assistant duties for Mr. Blackstock." Blackstock died on Aug. 7 after a long battle with melanoma, an aggressive type of skin cancer. His family shared the heartbreaking news in a statement. Brittney Marie Jones Facebook "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years," Blackstock's loved ones said. "He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family," they added. "We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time." Silver Bow County Coroner Dan Hollis later verified that the talent manager "died peacefully" from melanoma at his residence in Butte, Montana.
