Kelly Clarkson has returned to her TV show stateside a month after the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The former American Idol winner, 43, took time out from presenting The Kelly Clarkson Show after the tragic news of Brandon’s death in August.

Brandon, who was married to Kelly for almost seven years their split in 2022, died from melanoma on August 7. He was aged just 48. The duo shared two children together, River Rose, 11, and nine-year-old Remy. Brandon also had two children from a previous relationship.

During the show, Kelly spoke with Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell. The Hollywood pair were on the show to promote their new film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. The trio bonded over ‘the highs and lows of parenthood’.

Earlier this month, Reba McEntire opened up about how her grandchildren, Brandon and Kelly’s children, are doing following his tragic death. She was speaking while on the red carpet at the Emmys.

“The kids are doing well, they’re all bonding together and hanging out with each other, and taking it one day at a time,” she confessed. “We know God’s got this.”

Brandon, who was a talent manager, died after living with melanoma for over three years. A rep for his family announced the death at the time via a prepared statement.

It read: “It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years.

“He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time.”

Brandon’s daughter Savannah recently admitted she “never imagined” she would lose her father. The sad message posted on Instagram shared her pain. The 23-year-old, who is expecting her third child, wrote on the social media platform: “So far, 2025 has been a year full of ‘Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding.’

“As we’re ending Quarter 3 I’ve found myself looking back at all of the love and support my husband and I have had through the lows and heartbreak.

“Seeing my dad sick and losing him was something I never imagined or could have possibly prepared myself for, let alone young and pregnant.

“We have had an overwhelming amount of love and support poured onto us over the past 6 months and we are eternally grateful.”

Kieran Hayler, 38, and Alex Reid, 50, are said to be consulting lawyers in a bid to stop her explosive Sky documentary airing next year.

It comes after Katie’s ex Peter Andre accused her of making “baseless accusations“ against him, and claimed their children Princess and Junior have been in his care since 2018 ‘for their safety.’

Peter finally snapped after Katie moaned about being frozen out of her daughter Princess‘s blossoming career – and claimed that their kids live with both Pete and her.

He said: “Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months.”

Now Kieran and Alex are in contact via an intermediary after a tell-all documentary was announced.

A source told the Mirror: “They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice. They just want her to stop trashing them, and can’t believe she is being given a platform.”

A spokesman for Kieran said: “We are keeping all our options open. I can confirm Alex Reid is on the same page.”

After Peter broke his 16-year silence on Katie, she spoke out in a statement via her rep.

A spokesman for the mum of five told The Sun: “Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation.

“This was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she’s dealing with this the right way and it’s now in her lawyers hands.

“Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was…”

Katie is currently dating MAFS star JJ Slater, but before this she had a long-term romance with Carl Woods. 

Before falling for Carl, Katie was engaged to fitness trainer Kris Boyson, 29, and before Kris she was married to Kieran. 

Katie married MMA fighter Alex in Las Vegas in February 2010 and before Alex there was Pete, who she met on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. 

The pair soon got together and married in a lavish ceremony in September 2005 in Highclere Castle.

After Peter released his statement, Katie’s ex Kieran Hayler shared a cryptic post about “rising like a Phoenix” amid their public feud.

Kieran, 38, who was married to the former glamour model, 47, for five turbulent years before their divorce was finalised in March 2021, took to his Instagram to share a photo of the mythical bird.

In late July 2025, rumors started swirling that Liam Neeson, 73, and Pamela Anderson, 58, were romantically involved.

After making a reboot of The Naked Gun movies together, Liam said of Pam: “I’m madly in love with her.”

He also joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun, which opened on August 1, 2025, was “the sex scenes”.

The pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator for those scenes, with Liam adding: “I’d never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, ‘OK! Excuse me!’.”

And Pam said of her co-star: “I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he’s a good guy.”

She added: “He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes.”

So with Pam’s new romance truly blossoming, here we take a look at her previous husbands.

Who are Pamela Anderson’s ex-husbands?

Pamela Anderson has been married six times.

Dan Hayhurst

Most recently, Pamela married her bodyguard after falling in love during the Covid lockdown.

On January 20, 2022, a year after the pair wed, it was announced that Pamela had filed for divorce from Dan.

“I’m exactly where I need to be – in the arms of a man who truly loves me,” Anderson told the Daily Mail at the time.

Tommy Lee

Pamela’s first marriage was to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1995.

The pair got hitched just four days after meeting, and shortly after their whirlwind wedding, their sex tape sensationally leaked online.

Anderson and Lee were married for three years and had two sons together, Brandon and Dylan.

They split after Lee assaulted Anderson while Dylan was still young. After Lee served six months in jail, he and Anderson reunited, at some point, but ultimately split again in 2001.

They reconciled once more in 2008 and even lived together, but their reunion was short-lived.

Kid Rock

Anderson was married to musician Kid Rock from 2006 to 2007.

They got together in 2001, became engaged in 2002, and broke up in 2003. Three years later, they announced their second engagement to the world.

Anderson suffered a miscarriage while the pair were married and the two divorced shortly after, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Rick Salomon

9

In 2007, Anderson revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she was engaged to Rick Salomon.

That year, the two wed at The Mirage in Las Vegas, but they divorced just ten weeks later citing “irreconcilable differences.”

In February 2008, the marriage was officially annulled on the basis of fraud.

On the Ellen show again in 2014, she told the host that she and Salomon were friends with benefits. Saloman and Anderson remarried again that year, but they divorced in 2015.

Jon Peters

Anderson first dated Jon Peters over thirty years ago.

“There are beautiful girls everywhere,” Peters, a film producer, told The Hollywood Reporter. 

“I could have my pick, but for 35 years I’ve only wanted Pamela. She makes me wild — in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated.”

The two wed in a secret ceremony in January 2020. Anderson wrote a poem about Lee and provided it to the outlet. It read:

“Jon is the original ‘bad boy’ of Hollywood/ no one compares/ I love him deeply like family. His life used to scare me. So much for a girl like me. Now I’ve seen more of life and realize. He’s been there all along. Never failed me/ I’m ready now and he’s ready too/ We understand and respect each other/ We love each other without conditions/ I’m a lucky woman/ Proof God has a plan.”

They divorced just twelve days after they married.

Anderson denied their union in a tweet after the pair separated, saying: “Pamela Anderson was never legally married to Jon Peters (life long family friend) no hard feelings – no Marraige [sic], no Divorce… just a bizarre theatrical lunch – Pamela has a good sense of humor about it.”
