Kelly Clarkson's Ex Brandon Blackstock Dies After Cancer Battle

Brandon Blackstock, the ex-husband of singer Kelly Clarkson, passed away at age 48 after a more than three-year battle with cancer. Despite their acrimonious divorce finalized in 2022, Clarkson prioritized protecting Blackstock's privacy and supporting him for the sake of their two children, River Rose and Remington, during his illness. She postponed shows from her Las Vegas residency and missed episodes of her talk show to be fully present for her children and Blackstock. Blackstock was also a father to two older children, Savannah and Seth, from his previous marriage to Melissa Ashworth. The family announced that Blackstock died peacefully surrounded by loved ones, requesting privacy during this difficult time. Clarkson's focus remains on maintaining a supportive environment for her children amid their loss.
