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.

Clarkson's name was not mentioned anywhere in the lengthy obituary, though it did include mention of her and Blackstock's two children.

The music executive purchased the scenic property in Butte, Montana, in 2022, and public records list it as Jones' residence as early as April 2024.
