Impact on Family and Career
Brandon Blackstock’s former wife, singer Kelly Clarkson, indicated last week her need to reschedule her upcoming performances in Las Vegas due to Blackstock’s illness. Clarkson and Blackstock, who divorced in 2022 after separating in 2020, share two young children, 11-year-old River and 9-year-old Remy.
Clarkson addressed her fans directly concerning the rescheduling. “I am forced to postpone the remaining Studio Session dates in August in Las Vegas,” she announced on Instagram. She added, “While I typically keep my personal matters private, the father of my children has been battling illness over the past year. At this moment, it is crucial for me to be there for our children. I deeply apologize to those who purchased tickets, and I am thankful for your understanding and kindness.”
Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock first wed in 2013 and finalized their divorce nearly a decade later, in 2022. Before his marriage to Clarkson, Blackstock was married to Melissa Ashworth from 2001 until 2012, with whom he had two children, Savannah and Seth.
