Despite her divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock , Kelly Clarkson is prioritizing her family above her career. On August 6, 2025, the “Because of You” artist postponed her Las Vegas shows because of Brandon’s illness, and she needed to be “fully present” for their children . Just one day later, Brandon died.

“Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,” Kelly wrote in an Instagram statement that day. “While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children’s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.
