Singer Kelly Clarkson has reportedly opened up about her top priority during this difficult time.

The star shared more details about how she’s finding it so hard to navigate life after the death of her former husband, Brandon Blackstock.

Blackstock, who also served as Clarkson’s former talent manager, passed away after a private battle with cancer.

The Since U Been Gone star was devastated for her children, River and Remington, whom she shared with Blackstock. She revealed how their father was diagnosed with cancer three years back, and since then, she’s just found it so hard. Now, after his death, her heart breaks for them.

Blackstock died on August 7 at the age of 48 following his years-long private battle with melanoma. This is a serious form of skin cancer. When the singer found out that he was sick, she remained very protective of him for the sake of her children.

This is all despite the fact that the duo had a very public and difficult battle related to their divorce. Kelly has worked hard at keeping things classy, and it became clear to her this year that her former husband was not doing well. She is so heartbroken for her children, an insider has confirmed.
