Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson’s Ex-Husband Dies at 48

Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband and former manager, has died. He was 48.

Blackstock’s family confirmed the death in a statement to People Magazine on Thursday, more than three years after the talent manager and TV producer was diagnosed with cancer.

The news came just a day after Clarkson announced she was postponing her Las Vegas residency, because of her ex-husband’s health issues.

Clarkson and Blackstock tied the knot in 2013 and went on to welcome two children together: an 11-year-old daughter, River, and a 9-year-old son, Remington.

The ex-couple split in 2020 and finalized their divorce roughly two years later.
