Kelly Clarkson Puts Family First After Tragic Loss of Ex-Husband
So, some emotional news has been making the rounds lately—Kelly Clarkson has postponed her Las Vegas residency, and for a deeply personal reason. On Wednesday night, Kelly made a heartfelt announcement letting fans know that she was putting her performances on hold so she could be fully present for her kids. And shortly after that, it was confirmed by a family representative that her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, had passed away following a battle with cancer.
Now, for those who may not remember, Brandon Blackstock wasn't just Kelly's ex-husband—he was also the father of her two children, River, born in 2014, and Remington, or “Remy,” born in 2016. Kelly and Brandon had met back in 2012 at the Super Bowl and got married the next year. Their relationship eventually ended in divorce in 2020, and it was officially settled in 2022, but it’s clear from Kelly’s message that despite everything, they remained connected as co-parents.

Kelly has always been pretty private about her personal life, but in her recent Instagram post, she opened up in a rare and vulnerable way. She shared that the past year had been incredibly difficult as Brandon had been ill, and now, more than ever, her focus needed to be on her children and helping them through the loss of their dad. You could really feel the weight of what she was going through in her words. She also made sure to thank her fans for their kindness, understanding, and patience—acknowledging how hard it can be to disappoint people who were excited for the shows.
Her Las Vegas residency was supposed to run through mid-November, and she had already delayed its start earlier this summer because of some vocal strain. Even with that delay, she managed to kick it off a week later, but now this new and heartbreaking development has understandably changed everything.
Losing a parent is hard at any age, and Kelly's priority is clearly to be there for her kids in this time of grief. The music and stage can wait. Right now, it’s all about family, healing, and honoring someone who had been such a big part of her life and her children's.
It’s a tough moment, but one that reminds us how life—especially for public figures—is still filled with deeply human struggles behind the spotlight.
