Brandon Blackstock's "soulmate" Brittney Marie Jones, identified in Blackstock's obituary as his "loving partner in life and business," previously worked as Kelly Clarkson's production assistant.

The talent manager died at 48 of a form of skin cancer as the singer and TV host has canceled tapings and concerts as the news was revealed.

Days after an insider lifted the lid on Kelly and Brandon’s “messy” divorce, his obituary has revealed he was in a relationship with her former assistant at the time of his death.
