Details of Brandon Blackstock’s final days<\/a> have been shared after the talent manager’s death, aged 48.<\/p>\n

A representative confirmed the news in a statement to People<\/a> following the talent manager\u2019s secret cancer<\/a> diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Clarkson and Blackstock began dating in 2012<\/a> before tying the knot in 2013.<\/p>\n

They announced their split in 2020<\/a>, and a bitter divorce<\/a> battle followed, finalising in 2022. <\/p>\n

In recent years, Blackstock had settled in Montana to focus on founding Vallet View Rodeo, going ‘under the radar’ following his career in show business.<\/p>\n

‘He was at home in Montana,’ a source told US Weekly<\/a>, reflecting on his last weeks alive and death.<\/p>\n

They said he spent ‘more [time] than ever before’ with his family while undergoing treatment during the last six months of his life.<\/p>\n

Clarkson was not caring for Brandon, they said, but she made sure their children, River Rose, 11, and Remington Alexander, nine, spent time with their father.<\/p>\n

‘She did spend a lot of time traveling with her kids to be with him,’ the insider shared.<\/p>\n

‘He loved having his family with him and loved when the kids would visit,’ the source said. ‘He loved his animals and that was a passion he shared with his daughter Savannah.’<\/p>\n

Blackstock also has two children \u2013 Savannah, 23, and Seth, 18 \u2013 with his ex-wife, Melissa Ashworth, from whom he split in 2012.<\/p>\n

Savannah, who announced her second pregnancy just weeks before her father’s death<\/a>, was allegedly ‘with him almost all the time’ in the end.<\/p>\n

‘She has been having an incredibly difficult time. They were very close. Everyone is in shock,’ the insider said.<\/p>\n

They continued: ‘Even a few months back he looked okay. He looked thin but he looked like himself. No one can believe it.’<\/p>\n

Clarkson, 43, cancelled dates in her Las Vegas residency<\/a> ahead of the news to \u2018be fully present\u2019 with her children.<\/p>\n

\u2018While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children\u2019s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,\u2019 she wrote on social media<\/a>. \u2018I appreciate your grace, kindness, and understanding.\u2019<\/p>\n

While Clarkson is yet to comment publicly on the death of her former husband, it\u2019s believed she is \u2018devastated\u2019, especially for her children.<\/p>\n

\u2018When she found out that he was sick, she remained protective of him for their sake,\u2019 a source told People.<\/p>\n

\u2018Kelly has always tried to keep things classy. It became clear earlier this year that Brandon was not doing well.\u2019<\/p>\n
