Kelly Clarkson’s Ex Brandon Blackstock Learned He Was Going to Be a Grandpa Again Weeks Before Death

Brandon Blackstock found out his family was expanding prior to his tragic death.

The late talent manager’s eldest daughter, Savannah, revealed she was pregnant with her second child via an Instagram announcement on July 5, according to People.

The baby — a little girl who is due in January 2026 — would have made Blackstock a grandfather for the second time, as Savannah already shares 3-year-old son Lake with her husband, Quentin Lee.

“We’ve been keeping a couple sweet surprises,” Savannah wrote on the platform, per People. “One little girl will be making her arrival at the beginning of January and another beautiful girl named Julianna who has already been one of the greatest blessings to our family.”

Savannah also gave credit to the lord for her pregnancy in her post.

“He’s written a story we never could’ve imagined, and His kindness in this season has left us in awe,” she gushed. “He’s answered prayers we never even knew how to pray. This journey has been so special full of peace, excitement, and so much grace. We’re growing again, and our hearts are so full. Thank you, Jesus.”

In addition to Savannah, Blackstock shares son Seth with his first wife, Melissa Ashworth, whom he was married to from 2001 to 2012. He was also a dad to kids River, 11, and Remington, 9, whom he shares with his second wife, Kelly Clarkson. The couple tied the knot in 2013, separated in 2020, and finalized their divorce in 2022.

Blackstock passed away on Thursday, August 7, after a lengthy battle with melanoma. He was 48 years old.
