Kelly Clarkson‘s ex-husband’s death came as a shock to many fans. The popular singer has resurfaced on social media, nearly a month after the passing of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. But, she is choosing to keep the focus away from her private grief. Instead, she used her first public update to reflect on one of the most defining moments of her career: the day she became the first ever winner of “American Idol”.
Kelly Clarkson posted to her Instagram page for the first time since ex-husband’s passing
On Instagram, Clarkson marked the 23rd anniversary of her 2002 world famous victory. She shared a throwback photo from the finale that launched her into stardom. “To everyone that took time 23 years ago to call in and vote for me, thank you. Winning “American Idol” changed my life and I will forever be grateful for all of you that have supported me for so many years,” she shared. She added that discovering her love and passion for music, as well as having the privilege to turn it into a career, has been a gift.
The heartfelt, nostalgic post marked Clarkson’s tender return to social media. At the age of 48, Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson ex-husband, was struggling with skin cancer. Unfortunately, he succumbed to it. They had two children together. One day before his passing, Clarkson had revealed his health battles. This was the reason for the cancellation of her August Las Vegas shows.
Though Kelly and Brandon split in 2022, his loss left a mark on her family. Since Brandon’s death, she has remained offline, but was spotted in LA with kids, and during taping of the upcoming season of “The Voice”.
By choosing to reminisce her career milestone and express gratitude while in mourning, Clarkson has, once again, highlighted her resilience. Qualities that have shaped her life since “American idol” days.
