Savannah Blackstock Announces Pregnancy Days Before Father’s Death
UPDATE: Savannah Blackstock Lee has announced she is pregnant with her second child, just weeks before her father’s tragic passing. The announcement came on July 5, just one month before Brandon Blackstock succumbed to melanoma at the age of 48.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Savannah, 23, revealed she and her husband, Quentin Lee, are expecting another daughter due in early January. “We’ve been keeping a couple sweet surprises,” she shared, adding that her first daughter, Julianna, is already a cherished member of their family.
The announcement arrives as the family mourns the loss of Brandon, who bravely fought cancer for over three years. He passed away on Thursday, surrounded by loved ones, according to a family spokesperson. “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,” the spokesperson stated.
Savannah reflected on her pregnancy journey, emphasizing the “peace, excitement, and so much grace” it has brought her during this tumultuous period. “We’re growing again, and our hearts are so full. Thank you, Jesus. 🤍”
Brandon Blackstock, who shared Savannah and her brother Seth, 19, with ex-wife Melissa Ashworth, also had two children with singer Kelly Clarkson: daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9. Despite their divorce in 2022, Clarkson has been reportedly caring for Brandon during his illness, highlighting the enduring bond between them. “It’s been exhausting and so sad… Kelly has been working so hard, as well as looking after Brandon. Despite their difficult divorce, he’s still the man she loved and still her kids’ father,” a source told Page Six.
As the family grapples with this profound loss, Savannah’s announcement adds a layer of bittersweet joy to their grieving process. The impending arrival of her second daughter serves as a beacon of hope amidst the heartache.
Fans and followers are rallying around Savannah during this challenging time, sharing their condolences and congratulations in equal measure. The emotional weight of this moment is palpable, as the Blackstock family continues to navigate their grief while looking towards a new chapter filled with love and family.
