Yes — sadly, the reports are accurate. Kelly Clarkson’s ex‑husband, Brandon Blackstock, has passed away at age 48 after enduring a three‑year battle with cancer. His family confirmed that he died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, and they’ve asked for privacy during this difficult time.
Clarkson had recently postponed her Las Vegas residency performances to prioritize supporting their children—daughter River Rose (about 11) and son Remington “Remy” Alexander (about 9)—while caring for their ailing father.
Brandon was not only Clarkson’s ex‑husband but also a significant presence in her early career—as her manager, executive producer of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” and stepson of country star Reba McEntire.
