Brandon’s rep announced his passing on Aug. 7, sharing that the talent manager—who was married to Kelly Clarkson from 2013 to 2022—passed away after battling cancer for more than three years.
“He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family,” his rep shared in a statement to NBC News. “We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time.”
And while Reba has yet to speak publicly on Brandon’s untimely passing, she previously provided insight into her close bond with her stepson, who is dad to kids River, 11, and Remington, 9, with Kelly.
“I don’t consider Brandon, Chassidy and Shawna stepchildren,” the singer told The Boot in 2010. “I claim them all.”
