Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock shared nearly seven years of marriage, two children, and countless memories before divorcing in 2020—and before Brandon’s passing in 2025.

Here is everything Kelly Clarkson has said about ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The talent manager and former stepson of Reba McEntire died on Thursday, August 7 from cancer at the age of 48.
