Who is Brittney Marie Jones? Kelly Clarkson's Former Assistant and Brandon Blackstock's Life Partner

Liputan6.com, Jakarta The identity of Brittney Marie Jones, a woman formerly known as Kelly Clarkson's production assistant, is now in the public spotlight.

As reported by Hindustan Times, she was revealed as the "life and business partner" of the late Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, in an obituary released after Blackstock's death on August 7, 2025.

“After more than 20 years in the music business, Brandon found his way back to the mountains and the cowboy way of life he always wanted to live,” the obituary read. “He found a homestead and a love in Butte, Montana.”

Brittney Marie Jones's involvement with Brandon Blackstock extends beyond a personal relationship to the development of a ranching business in Montana.

“Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana,” the tribute continued.

She moved to Montana in June 2020, coinciding with Kelly Clarkson's divorce filing, to work on Blackstock's ranch.

Brittney Marie Jones began her career in the music industry as a production assistant for renowned singer Kelly Clarkson in Nashville, according to People.

From 2016 to 2018, her duties encompassed various aspects of tour logistics, including assisting the tour manager with travel details for record promotions and television and radio appearances.

She was also responsible for providing security at meet-and-greets and ensuring final stage setup before shows.

In December 2018, a significant shift occurred in Jones' career when she transitioned to the role of executive management assistant to Brandon Blackstock, then Kelly Clarkson's husband.

However, her LinkedIn profile indicates that she continued to "help manage the artist's daily schedule for Kelly Clarkson," indicating her continued involvement with the singer's schedule under Blackstock's management.

Another turning point occurred in June 2020, the same month Kelly Clarkson officially filed for divorce.

At that time, Brittney Marie Jones transitioned to the role of executive assistant for V Bar B Cattle Co., a Montana ranch owned by Brandon Blackstock.

The relationship between Brittney Marie Jones and Brandon Blackstock was officially revealed through Blackstock's obituary, which identified her as his "beautiful and loving life and business partner."

The obituary explained that Jones was a central figure in Blackstock's life in his later years.

According to the obituary, Brittney Marie Jones and Brandon Blackstock had been a couple for three years before Blackstock's death in August 2025.

This suggests their relationship began around 2022, after Blackstock and Clarkson separated but before their divorce was legally finalized.

Jones's father, Larry, also paid an emotional tribute on Facebook, describing Blackstock as his daughter's "soulmate" and regarding him as his own son.

He served as managing director of Headwaters Livestock Auction and was involved with the Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.

Blackstock's obituary specifically mentions that they "began building a life, building a company, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what would become his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana."

Before her relationship with Brandon Blackstock came to the spotlight, Brittney Marie Jones was previously married to Greg Goose LaPoint.

This information was revealed on her Facebook page, where photos of their wedding were shared in September 2021.

While details regarding their separation were not publicly disclosed, this previous marriage added dimension to her personal profile.

News about Brittney Marie Jones became even more prominent after Brandon Blackstock's death on August 7, 2025, from melanoma.

Blackstock's obituary, released on August 12, 2025, was the primary catalyst for the revelation of their relationship.

The obituary also highlighted how Blackstock had found happiness and love in Butte, Montana, with Jones, after returning to the cowboy lifestyle in the mountains.

The revelations provide a narrative of a new chapter in Blackstock's life spent with Brittney Marie Jones, away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and the public spotlight that accompanied his marriage to Kelly Clarkson.
