Kelly Clarkson has given an update on her children, five months following the passing of their father. The renowned singer’s former spouse, Brandon Blackstock, succumbed to melanoma after a valiant three-year fight in August 2025. They have two kids, River aged 11 and Remington, nicknamed Remy, aged nine.
During a Q&A session on The Kelly Clarkson Show’s official YouTube channel, Kelly, aged 43, shared that spending time snuggling with her children, who are now 9 and 11, brings her joy. She mentioned that amidst recent family challenges, she has been sharing bedtime moments with her kids more often, allowing them to sleep with her frequently.
Detailing their bedtime routine, Kelly described a cozy setup with her two dogs, her children, and herself, emphasizing the special conversations they have during these moments. Following her divorce from Brandon in 2022 after nine years of marriage, Kelly faced the loss of Brandon last year due to cancer. The family confirmed his peaceful passing surrounded by loved ones.
Brandon, a talent manager and former stepson of country star Reba McEntire, also had children from a previous marriage. Kelly returned to her talk show shortly after Brandon’s death without directly addressing the topic. During one emotional segment, she shed tears as she spoke with bus drivers who aided in rescuing children during fatal floods in Texas.
