Kelly Clarkson's Heartfelt TV Comeback Amid Tragic Loss
Kelly Clarkson's Emotional Return to TV: A Tribute to Her Late Ex-Husband Brandon Blackstock
In a poignant and emotional special, Kelly Clarkson makes her return to television after the tragic passing of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The four-part series, "Songs & Stories," marks a new chapter for Clarkson as she delves into the history behind some of her most iconic songs.
But what's even more surprising is that this isn't just any ordinary comeback - it's also a tribute to the man who left an indelible mark on her life. Brandon Blackstock, the talent manager and former husband of Kelly Clarkson, passed away earlier this month at the age of 48 after a secret battle with skin cancer.
The special, which airs Tuesday night on NBC, features Clarkson joining forces with some of the biggest names in music, including the Jonas Brothers, Gloria Estefan, Teddy Swims, and Lizzo. And what makes it even more interesting is that Clarkson's ex-husband had a rather scandalous secret life - one that involves a cheating scandal that left his family reeling.
According to sources close to the situation, Blackstock was in a relationship with Brittney Marie Jones, who just so happens to be Kelly Clarkson's former assistant. Yes, you read that right - Clarkson's ex-husband and her former assistant were embroiled in an alleged affair, which ultimately led to the breakdown of their marriage.
But what's even more shocking is that this wasn't the only controversy surrounding Blackstock's private life. His first wife, Melissa Ashworth, spoke out publicly about his passing, revealing a tumultuous past filled with drama and heartbreak.
"I married the man who would become the father of my children on May 29, 1999," Ashworth wrote on Instagram. "Brandon was full of charm, wit, and just an absolute gentleman... but what people don't know is that he had a dark side."
Ashworth's words were echoed by her son Seth, who paid tribute to his late father in a heartfelt post. "I lost my hero yesterday," he wrote. "Words can't describe how proud of you I am on raising me and your 3 other kids... You'll have to watch me grow up from a Birds Eye view now but that's okay with me."
But amidst all the drama and heartbreak, one thing is clear - Kelly Clarkson has emerged stronger than ever. And what better way to do it than by paying tribute to her late ex-husband in her upcoming special?
In an exclusive clip from "Songs & Stories," Kelly Clarkson joins forces with the Jonas Brothers, who opened for her on tour back in 2005. The two musical powerhouses sing a duet of the Jonas Brothers' hit song "Year 3000," which features a hilarious nod to Clarkson's own music career.
But what's even more surprising is that Nick Jonas has a writing credit on one of Clarkson's songs - "I Hate Love" - which was co-written with none other than comedy legend Steve Martin. Yep, you read that right - the legendary comedian who's known for his wacky humor and outrageous antics also happens to be a songwriter extraordinaire.

And what's even more shocking is that Jones had listed her ex-husband LaPoint as her "husband" on social media just days after Blackstock's passing.
