A recent report claims that Brandon Blackstock, previously an assistant to Kelly Clarkson, had been accused of infidelity with his partner – who was then married to Blackstock – during their relationship. This alleged infidelity involved Blackstock and the talent manager, as per the latest reports.
On Friday, it was reported by Page Six that in the summer of 2023, Brittney Marie Jones‘ husband, Greg Goose LaPoint, learned about the rumored affair between his wife and the late music executive she was believed to have been involved with.

I have not received a response from Blackstock’s management firms, Jones, and LaPoint after reaching out to them for comments through the Daily Mail.
Hearing about it now, I’m left in a state of shock as I reflect on the news that my beloved idol, Clarkson, lost his former spouse, Blackstock, who was 43 at the time of his passing. And here’s an unexpected twist – it appears he had a loving partner, Jones, as stated in his freshly published obituary.
48-year-old Blackstock, who was once married to Clarkson from 2013 until 2020 and has two children, River (11) and Remington (9), passed away on August 7 after a long, private struggle with melanoma.
The recently published obituary disclosed on Tuesday that Blackstock had been romantically involved with Jones, and they were secretly establishing a fresh start together in Montana, a detail that was largely unbeknownst to their fans.
After over two decades in the music industry, Brandon eventually returned to the serene mountain ranges and embraced the cowboy lifestyle he had long dreamt of. His newfound home was discovered in Butte, Montana, where he also found affection.
Brandon, together with his devoted life and business partner Brittney Marie Jones, embarked on building a life, establishing businesses, and putting in countless hours to found Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will endure as his lasting tribute, the Valley View Rodeo, both located in Bozeman, Montana.
In an unexpected disclosure, a December 2024 article published by the US Sun about Blackstock and Jones’s rodeo enterprise indicated that Jones was previously an assistant to Clarkson.
Earlier this week, DailyMail.com hadn’t gotten a reply yet from Clarkson’s representatives regarding our request for a comment.
According to a previous LinkedIn profile mentioned in the 2024 US Sun report, Jones held positions as both an executive assistant for Brandon Blackstock and an assistant to Kelly Clarkson. During this time, Blackstock was overseeing the singer’s career.
The 2024 US Sun report cites a past LinkedIn profile of Jones, showing that she worked as an executive assistant for Brandon Blackstock and an assistant to Kelly Clarkson when Blackstock managed the singer’s career.
As per The Sun’s report, the profile indicated that I had effectively handled daily tasks for artist, Kelly Clarkson, who was supervised by manager Brandon Blackstock, in relation to her music and TV projects, all based in Los Angeles.
Following Ms. Clarkson’s management shift, I moved into the role of Executive Assistant for Mr. Blackstock’s ranch in Montana. Now, I oversee the office operations and manage administrative tasks for this cattle business.
‘I also currently fulfill personal assistant duties for Mr. Blackstock.’
On LinkedIn, Jones is listed as the Executive Assistant for V Bar V Cattle Co. LLC, a company that was previously known as Vintage Valley Ranch – one of Blackstock’s businesses. This connection strengthens the link between her and Blackstock’s life following his divorce in Montana.
Previously, Jones was wedded to LaPoint, who is known as both a drummer with the group Gypsy Nights and a holistic nutritionist at The Holistic Goose in Nashville, as per information from his Instagram bio, and as mentioned on her Facebook profile.
They posted their wedding pictures from their September 2021 nuptials, giving us a peek at their joint journey as a couple.
Despite the murky details surrounding when they parted ways, it’s apparent that their relationship persisted, as evidenced by LaPoint maintaining mementos of it on social media. On September 11, 2022, he posted on Instagram: ‘It’s tough to believe a year has passed since we exchanged wedding vows.’
I find it hard to envision life without you beside me; you’re the genuine article, a spouse who combines love, comfort, and an unwavering spirit. I am deeply appreciative that I can proudly refer to you as my husband.
As an utterly devoted admirer, let me share a juicy bit of news that’s left me absolutely stunned! According to my favorite gossip source, Page Six, when our beloved star, LaPoint, discovered rumors of his wife’s alleged infidelity, he wasted no time in requesting an immediate divorce. The filing was officially made on July 13, 2023, as per court records obtained by the same reliable source. The reason for the split? ‘Irreconcilable differences,’ a phrase that echoes like a sad refrain through Hollywood’s annals of love and loss.
In January 2023, Jones indicated her date of separation with LaPoint, but a photo of them grinning during a hike together was shared by the musician in the same month, suggesting they might have spent time together after their supposed split.
Their divorce was ultimately finalized by February 2024 according to court records.
News broke out only a few hours later, following Melissa Ashworth, Blackstock’s former spouse, openly discussing his recent demise.
Over the weekend, Ashworth shared on Instagram that he got married to the man who would later be the father of his children on May 29, 1999.
In her post, she shared a set of pictures that included Blackstock, their sons Seth (aged 18) and Savannah’s spouse Quentin Lee, along with Savannah herself who is 23 years old.
In addition, she posted a nostalgic snapshot from their wedding day, reminiscing about the man who was formerly known as her spouse.
Brandon exuded charisma, humor, and was nothing short of a true Southern gentleman, often seen in cowboy boots, Wrangler jeans, and a cowboy hat. Without a doubt or question, he was an exceptional father and grandfather. He showed love deeply and stood his ground strongly,” she expressed.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that sentiment to:
“Leaving behind the knowledge of my location for my children, I believe, is one of the most precious gifts I can offer them. A saying goes, ‘Nothing is truly lost when it’s found’, and in this sense, I am eternally with my Savior, Jesus.
Savannah, Seth, and our beloved grandkids are the most precious aspects of our lives. We appreciate each one of you for your thoughtful prayers and expressions of sympathy.
After their divorce, Blackstock married Clarkson, and the two went on to have two children.
Ashworth’s message followed shortly after, mirroring the emotional tribute that their son Seth had shared earlier about their father.
I compiled a collection of pictures, spanning from my tender childhood memories all the way up to more contemporary times, and then showed them proudly to my dad.
In a single picture from the memorial, a young Seth, resembling a toddler, shows off a big smile, while his father beams with pride behind him.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share my delight upon stumbling upon another heartwarming snapshot. This time, it reveals a grown-up Seth, side by side with his beloved sister Savannah, engulfed in laughter while frolicking outdoors alongside their devoted German Shepherd and dear old dad. Absolutely magical!
In his post, Seth expressed that he had sadly lost his hero the day before. He couldn’t find adequate words to convey just how proud he felt of him for raising not only him but also his own three children.
‘You were a father, a son, a brother, and most importantly my best friend.
From now on, I’ll observe my growth from an overview, much like looking at things from a bird’s eye perspective, but that’s perfectly fine with me. There isn’t anyone else in the world who I would choose to be my father because no one can fill half the role you played for me,” he went on saying. “I’ll see you every day as the sun rises and sets.
In simpler terms, Seth said that the deer and elk felt relieved when the greatest hunter he had ever met decided to retire, putting down his rifle for good. He also expressed his affection for someone, likely his father, mentioning that he cherishes him deeply and is eagerly looking forward to going fishing together again. Lastly, he encourages the person to be kind or excel at whatever they do – this message is from Seth’s son.
In simpler terms, Blackstock, who is Reba McEntire’s ex-stepson, was wed to an American Idol winner between the years 2013 and 2022.
The news about Blackstock’s passing emerged just a few hours following Clarkson’s announcement that she would be delaying the rest of her Las Vegas residency shows in August, due to her former spouse’s poor health condition.
We’re deeply saddened to announce that Brandon Blackstock has tragically passed away. [This paraphrase maintains the original sentiment and tone while using more conversational language.]
For over three years, Brandon valiantly fought against cancer. In the end, he left us peacefully with his loved ones around him.
Appreciating your kind thoughts and prayers, we kindly request everyone to show understanding and grant privacy to the family as they navigate through a tough period.
