The news comes after Blackstock, 48, who also served as Clarkson’s talent manager, died Aug. 7 of melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
A day before Blackstock’s death, Clarkson postponed the remainder of her Las Vegas residency “to be fully present” for her children, announcing at the time that her ex was ill.
