Prior to his relationship with Clarkson, Blackstock was married to Melissa Ashworth from 1999 to 2012. The former couple shared daughter Savannah Blackstock, 23, and son Seth Blackstock, 18. Blackstock became a grandfather in January 2022 when Savannah Blackstock welcomed the first of her two children, with a third currently on the way.

The obituary, which describes Jones as Blackstock’s “beautiful and loving partner in life and business,” does not mention Clarkson.
