Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, passed away at 48 after a three-year battle with cancer. His family announced the news, confirming his peaceful passing surrounded by loved ones. Clarkson recently postponed her Las Vegas residency due to Blackstock's illness. The couple, married from 2013 to 2022, had two children together. Their divorce was contentious, involving a dispute over their Montana ranch. Clarkson's brief absence from her talk show in March was linked to Blackstock's health.
