Blackstock’s Daughter Announces Pregnancy Before Dad’s Melanoma D:ea:th
Expecting Second Child Announced Shortly Before Father’s Passing
Savannah Blackstock Lee, the daughter of talent manager Brandon Blackstock, revealed she is pregnant with her second child just a month before her father’s death. She shared the news on Instagram, noting that she and her family are blessed to welcome a girl in early January, alongside Julianna, already a significant blessing to their family.
Brandon Blackstock, who fought melanoma for three years, passed away recently at age 48. He is survived by Savannah and her brother Seth, 19, from his marriage to ex-wife Melissa Ashworth, which lasted from 2001 to 2012. With Kelly Clarkson, his marriage lasted from 2013 to 2022, and they share two children, River, 11, and Remington, 9.
Though divorced, Kelly Clarkson has been caring for Brandon during his illness, taking a leave earlier this year to support him. Despite their separation, Clarkson remains deeply connected as the mother of his children.
Savannah, already mother to three-year-old Lake, reflected on her pregnancy, expressing gratitude and a sense of peace amid the circumstances. She also paid tribute to her faith, describing the current season as full of grace and answered prayers.
Family and friends mourned Brandon Blackstock, who recently spent his final days in hospice surrounded by loved ones. A family spokesperson stated that he fought bravely and passed peacefully, expressing gratitude for the support and privacy during this difficult time.
