Remembering Brandon Blackstock: A Tribute to a Beloved Husband, Father, and Business Partner
Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, passed away on August 7 after a battle with cancer. The obituary highlighted Blackstock's life and career, describing him as a beloved and handsome man. It also mentioned their two children, River Rose and Remington, as well as Blackstock's older children from a previous marriage. The obituary acknowledged Blackstock's parents, siblings, and former stepmother, Reba McEntire.
It was revealed in the obituary that Blackstock had a partner, Brittney Marie Jones, with whom he started businesses like Headwaters Livestock Auction and The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana. Following Clarkson's divorce filing in 2020, there was a legal battle over their Montana ranch and business deals. Clarkson eventually received ownership of the ranch and a settlement of $2.6 million from Blackstock.
Clarkson took a step back from her work commitments as Blackstock's health declined. She postponed her Las Vegas residency to focus on her children and their father's illness. Clarkson has not publicly addressed Blackstock's passing, but her actions reflect her dedication to her family during this difficult time.
