Brandon Blackstock, once married to singer Kelly Clarkson, has sadly passed away at 48. His family says he had been fighting cancer for more than three years before he peacefully died surrounded by loved ones. Weeks before his death, he was seen smiling in a photo with his pregnant daughter, showing how much he cherished being with family.
Kelly Clarkson, who had paused her Las Vegas shows to focus on their children during his illness, was reportedly deeply affected by the news. Brandon had stepped away from the spotlight after their divorce to live a quiet life on his ranch in Montana, where he raised his children and ran a rodeo business. His brother, Shelby, shared heartfelt words about how much he’ll be missed, celebrating Brandon’s role as a dad, brother, and grandfather. The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time as they remember him with love.
