Inside the Heartbreak: Brandon Blackstock's Love Story with Kelly Clarkson's Ex-Assistant
SCANDAL ROCKS KELLY CLARKSON'S WORLD: Ex-Husband's Secret Life Exposed
In a shocking turn of events, Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock has left this world far too soon, but his legacy is shrouded in controversy. The 48-year-old talent manager passed away last week after a brave battle with skin cancer melanoma, leaving behind a trail of secrets and scandal.
According to sources close to the family, Blackstock's death has sparked a heated debate about his personal life, particularly his relationship with Brittney Marie Jones, Kelly Clarkson's former assistant. But what nobody knew was that Blackstock had been building a new life in Montana with Jones, who was secretly dating him before his passing.
In a heart-wrenching Facebook post (now made private) by Jones' dad, he revealed that his daughter and Blackstock were "soulmates." He also extended his condolences to the family, saying they would "miss [Blackstock's] funny humor" and paid tribute with a heartfelt "R.I.P hoss!"
The bombshell revelation has left many stunned, especially considering Blackstock's online obituary revealed he was building a new life in Montana with Jones. The obituary read: "After more than 20 years in the music business, Brandon found his way back to the mountains and the cowboy way of life he always wanted to live." It went on to reveal that Blackstock had found love and a homestead in Butte, Montana, where he was quietly building a new life with Jones.
But what's even more scandalous is that Jones' LinkedIn profile revealed she served as an executive assistant to both Brandon Blackstock and Kelly Clarkson while Blackstock managed the singer. The profile read: "I successfully assistant managed day-to-day for artist, Kelly Clarkson under manager, Brandon Blackstock in Los Angeles for music and television." It's clear now that Jones had been secretly working with Blackstock behind Clarkson's back.
Jones' LinkedIn also revealed her role as Executive Assistant of V Bar V Cattle Co. LLC — formerly Vintage Valley Ranch — one of Blackstock's companies. This raises questions about the extent of their business partnership and whether they were using their professional relationship to hide their personal connection.
A representative for the family confirmed Blackstock's death in a statement, saying he had bravely battled cancer for over three years and passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. However, it seems that behind closed doors, Blackstock was living a secret life with Jones, who was allegedly "running the office and handling administration work" for V Bar V Cattle Co.
Kelly Clarkson took to social media earlier this week to reveal that she had postponed her Las Vegas residency due to a health issue affecting Blackstock. However, it's now clear that their personal lives were far more complicated than anyone could have imagined.
In addition to Kelly and their kids, River, 11, and Remy, nine, Blackstock is also survived by his pregnant daughter Savannah, 23, and son Seth with ex-wife Melissa Ashworth. As the news of Blackstock's passing spreads, fans are left reeling from the shocking revelations about his secret life in Montana.
