Blake Shelton Made Bold Statement About Brandon Blackstock Years Before His Death originally appeared on Parade. In the wake of the shocking death of Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, some people are looking back at the dynamic that existed between Blackstock, Clarkson, and Blake Shelton during happier days.

When Clarkson and Blackstock met in 2006, he was still married to Melissa Ashworth. Still, the pop star recalled a strong feeling that they'd end up together. Several years later they began to date, eventually marrying in 2013. The next June they'd welcome River Rose Blackstock. In April 2016, Remington Alexander Blackstock was born.
