Brandon Blackstock had been dating Brittney Marie Jones in the years preceding his death. "Brandon and Brittney were in a relationship, and his family was very happy and supportive," a source exclusively told Us Weekly in August. "Brandon was very private, especially after leaving the entertainment industry, but his family embraced his relationship with Brittney." Blackstock split from ex-wife Kelly Clarkson, with whom he shares two children, in 2020. They finalized their divorce in 2022 before the former music manager relocated to Montana with Jones by his side.
