💔 “She Trusted Them Both” — Rumors Swirl About Brandon Blackstock and Kelly Clarkson’s Ex-Assistant in Final Months

In Hollywood, messy divorces are practically an industry, but Kelly Clarkson’s split from Brandon Blackstock was the kind of drama that gripped both fans and insiders.

 

Kelly Clarkson's Ex Was Dating Her Old Assistant

The “Since U Been Gone” singer accused her ex-husband of mismanaging her career, while Blackstock countered with his own claims about finances and custody.

The bitterness was undeniable.

But even after the legal dust settled, the gossip never really stopped.

And now, whispers of a previously unknown relationship are threatening to reframe Blackstock’s final months.

Multiple entertainment blogs and fan forums have lit up with speculation that Blackstock had grown close — very close — to a woman who once worked directly for Clarkson.

That woman, identified only in rumor mill circles as a “former assistant,” allegedly maintained contact with both parties long after leaving her job.

Some claim the relationship was purely platonic.

Others insist there was more.

And the timeline — if the chatter is accurate — overlaps uncomfortably with the period immediately following Blackstock’s split from Clarkson.

“Kelly trusted this person,” one anonymous insider told a gossip outlet.

“They knew the inner workings of her personal and professional life.

If it’s true that she and Brandon were involved, it’s a huge betrayal.

The situation is complicated further by the fact that Blackstock, who died unexpectedly, left behind unanswered questions about his final years.

Friends describe him as “private to the point of being guarded,” while others say his relationships in the wake of the divorce were a mix of genuine connections and calculated moves.

As for Clarkson, she’s made no public comment on the rumor — and it’s unclear if she even believes it.

But given her previous statements about the strain of her marriage, the possibility of her ex turning to someone from her own inner circle would sting deeply.

On social media, fans are split.

Some argue that whatever happened after the divorce is irrelevant.

Others say the alleged connection to a former employee crosses a clear line.

“It’s one thing to move on,” one fan tweeted.

“It’s another thing to move on with someone who used to work in your house.

For now, there’s no concrete proof — just overlapping sightings, cryptic social media posts, and the undeniable allure of a scandal that ties together love, betrayal, and the blurred lines of professional trust.

But if even part of the rumor is true, it could explain why Clarkson has kept such a tight circle since her split.

Because sometimes, the deepest cuts don’t come from enemies — they come from the people you thought were on your side.
