May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Shortly after Reba McEntire and her first husband split, she found love again with one of her band members, Narvel Blackstock. The two wed in 1989 and Blackstock quickly shifted into being her manager. The couple shared one son, Shelby Blackstock, and McEntire became stepmother to Blackstock's children from his first marriage, Brandon, Chassidy, and Shawna. 

Thanks to his father's marriage, Brandon Blackstock met Kelly Clarkson, who he went on to marry in 2013. "I was very protective of Kelly," the country star told Entertainment Tonight Canada. "I did not want her to get her heart broken because she wears her heart on her sleeve... What you see is what you get with Kelly... I would have clobbered Brandon if he had hurt her in any way."

While McEntire's romance helped spark new love, her stepson and Clarkson announced they were getting divorce in June 2020. According to Closer Weekly, McEntire was "supportive" of their decision. "She knows it's hard enough working on your own relationship, but she saw this Kelly and Brandon split coming from a mile away," a source told the outlet.
