Brandon Blackstock, the former talent manager and ex-husband of singer Kelly Clarkson, has died at age 48 after a private, multi-year battle with cancer. His family shared that he passed away peacefully on August 7, surrounded by loved ones. The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.
Blackstock and Clarkson were married in 2013 and had two children together, River and Remington. He also leaves behind two children from a previous marriage, Savannah and Seth. In recent months, Clarkson postponed several performances, including a Las Vegas residency, so she could be fully present for their children during his illness.
His daughter Savannah had just announced that she is expecting a baby girl in early 2026, news that has brought both joy and sorrow to the family amid their loss. Blackstock’s passing marks the end of a private struggle, deeply felt by family and those closest to him—especially his children.
