Kelly Clarkson's Reaction to Ex-Husband's Romance with Former Assistant After Memorial Comes Out

Kelly Clarkson is said to harbor no resentment toward her former assistant, Brittney Marie Jones, despite the latter's romantic involvement with Clarkson's late ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, who tragically passed away at 48 from melanoma after a three-year struggle. Clarkson, who was married to Blackstock from 2013 until their divorce in 2020, shares two children with him—River, 11, and Remington, 9. Recent revelations indicate that Jones lived with Blackstock in Butte, Montana, at the time of his death. An insider shared with the Globe that Clarkson views this situation as “the icing on the cake of disappointment,” acknowledging Blackstock was a devoted father yet fell short as a spouse. Clarkson aimed to ensure her children remained unaffected by these complications during a challenging period, particularly as family dynamics shifted post-divorce. Blackstock’s obituary described Jones as his “soulmate,” sparking conversations about connection, loyalty, and the complexities of relationships amidst grief. (Photo Marc Piscotty: Wikipedia Commons)
