Kelly Clarkson Spotted After Ex-Husband’s Passing
This Saturday, Kelly Clarkson made her first public appearance following the devastating death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, from cancer.
Photographs acquired exclusively by the Daily Mail show the 43-year-old singer dressed in mourning attire, complete with sunglasses, as she arrived at LAX. Despite trying to conceal her face with a wide-brimmed hat, her somber demeanor was evident as she walked through the airport.
Blackstock, who had two children with Clarkson, was married to her from 2013 until their contentious divorce in 2022. He recently succumbed to melanoma at just 48 years old.
The divorce was marred by disputes over finances, with Clarkson suing Blackstock for alleged unauthorized business dealings. Recent reports indicate that Clarkson is struggling with guilt over his death, contemplating whether the stress from their divorce may have affected his health.
Upon entering the airport, Clarkson appeared downcast and was accompanied by friends. Her casual outfit consisted of sweats and a simple top, complemented by minimal makeup and her hair styled in a low bun.
Sources have revealed that Clarkson has been grappling with intense emotions, acknowledging that stress can impact health. While she doesn’t blame herself, she feels the weight of their turbulent past and its possible effects on Blackstock’s well-being.
Following their prolonged legal battles, Clarkson secured primary custody of their children, River and Remington. In a divorce settlement, she agreed to a substantial payout to Blackstock and will continue to provide child support. Clarkson’s recent breakup album reflects the complexity of her feelings regarding their relationship, further complicated by Blackstock’s unexpected illness and his new relationship with her former assistant.
