Kelly Clarkson’s ex-assistant listed as Brandon Blackstock’s ‘loving partner’ in his obituary

Surprising new details are coming to light following the death of Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, last week at 48.

An obituary for the late talent manager revealed that Blackstock was “building a life” with Clarkson’s former assistant, Brittney Marie Jones, as he lost his battle with cancer.

“Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana,” his obituary read.

Clarkson, meanwhile, was not even mentioned in the lengthy obit – although her and Blackstock’s two children, daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9, were.

“To say he was devoted seems cliché. It feels like an overused word, but it is the correct word. He was a devoted father. His four children were and will always be his greatest love and his greatest legacy,” the obituary continued.

“He was the son, brother, father, friend, and love you prayed to have in your life,” it added. “Above all, he was a dreamer.”
