Reba McEntire Texted Kelly Clarkson ‘All the Time’ – She ‘Warned’ Kelly before Divorce from Her Stepson, Source Claims

  • Reba McEntire became Brandon Blackstock’s stepmother when she married his father, Narvel Blackstock.
  • The songstress gave her support when Brandon and his wife, Kelly Clarkson, decided to divorce.
  • Today, Kelly is thriving and reportedly thinking about dating again.

In August 2015, Narvel Blackstock and his wife, Reba McEntire, shocked the country music scene when they announced they were getting divorced. The couple had been in a marriage for 26 long years!

The legendary country musician said that the divorce wasn’t her idea, and she hadn’t wanted it in any shape, form, or fashion. The separation process between the former couple sadly became messy.

Reba revealed that their divorce had been finalized by October of that same year. While married to her manager husband, the iconic singer welcomed one child, son Shelby Blackstock, a race car driver.

Narvel, on the other hand, had three children from a previous relationship. One of his offspring was son Brandon Blackstock, formerly married to country music singer and television personality Kelly Clarkson.

Although Narvel’s children weren’t biologically Reba‘s, she went above and beyond to accept them as her own. The singer even revealed how she sees all her stepchildren and elaborated on the relationship they share.

Reba’s Bond with Her Stepchildren

All in all, Reba has six children, including her biological one. She considers her ex-husbands’ children as her own, too, and the star has never been a fan of the word “stepchildren.” The musician first became a stepmother in 1976 when she married her first husband, rancher Charlie Battles.

The Grammy Award winner became a mother figure to his two then-teenage sons, Lance and Coty Battles. In 1987, Reba and Charles went their separate ways, but she still maintains a close relationship with her stepsons.

The musician then married Narvel in 1989 and became a stepmother to Shawna, Brandon, and Chassidy Blackstock, whom the television producer shares with ex-wife Elisa Gayle Ritter. During a 2010 interview, Reba said she didn’t consider her stepchildren as that because she claimed them all as her own.
