Kelly Clarkson Returns to TV After Ex-Husband’s Passing

Kelly Clarkson will return to television on September 29, 2023, after the recent death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, who passed away at the age of 48 following a prolonged battle with cancer. The singer announced her return to The Kelly Clarkson Show shortly after canceling her Las Vegas residency to support their children during this challenging time.

Brandon Blackstock succumbed to malignant melanoma on August 7, 2023. His agency, Starstruck Entertainment, confirmed the news, stating, “Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family.” The statement requested privacy for the family during this difficult period.

Production Begins for Season Seven

The upcoming season of Clarkson’s talk show will kick off production next week in Los Angeles. This season promises an impressive roster of guests, including Emily Blunt, Dwayne Johnson, Reese Witherspoon, and Julia Roberts, among others. Clarkson’s decision to return comes after a tumultuous year, marked by personal challenges stemming from her ex-husband’s illness.

In an earlier statement, Clarkson noted the importance of being present for her children, River Rose, aged 11, and Remington, aged 9. “While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children’s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,” she explained.

A Complex Relationship

Clarkson and Blackstock were married in 2013 and finalized their divorce in 2022 after a protracted and public legal battle. Despite their difficulties, sources indicate that Clarkson remained dedicated to supporting Blackstock during his final months. Insiders described the situation as “exhausting and so sad,” highlighting the enduring bond between them as co-parents.

The couple first met in 2006, when Blackstock’s father was managing Clarkson’s career. They began dating after his previous marriage ended. Clarkson has often spoken fondly of Blackstock, expressing how he provided a sense of stability that she lacked in her own upbringing. In 2015, she released the song “Piece by Piece,” reflecting on their love and its significance in her life.

As Clarkson prepares to return to her role as host, the entertainment community and fans alike are looking forward to seeing how she navigates this new chapter. The combination of her personal experiences and professional commitments promises to shape a compelling new season of her show.
