Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband and talent manager Brandon Blackstock has died of cancer.

First lady Jill Biden waves to Virginia Gov. Citing her late mother's advice, she tells Clarkson things happen for a reason. She also says her divorce freed her to meet Joe Biden and have a family with him. After marrying Joe Biden, Jill Biden helped raise his sons Beau and Hunter after their mother and baby sister died in a car crash in 1972. During her first solo television interview, Jill Biden also discussed her interest in education, military families, cancer research and healing the country.

LOS ANGELES Kelly Clarkson has filed for divorce from her husband of nearly seven years, Brandon Blackstock. The singer, talk show host and judge on The Voice filed court papers to end the marriage under her married name Kelly Blackstock on June 4 in Los Angeles. Clarkson cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and requested that she not be required to pay Blackstock spousal support. The two wed in October 2013 in the first marriage for Clarkson and the second for Blackstock. Blackstock, a talent manager who is the son of Clarkson's former manager, has two children from his first marriage.
