Kelly even shared a snap of Brandon on her official Instagram page just two months ago.

However, it wasn’t until a meeting six years later when the relationship really began.
In 2012, Kelly and Brandon’s romance kicked off at Super Bowl XLVI thanks to Brandon’s father, Narvel Blackstock, who was Kelly’s manager and reintroduced them after his son’s divorce.
Within 10 months of dating, Brandon popped the question with a gorgeous yellow canary diamond.
Four months later, in October 2013, the couple tied the knot at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee. with Kelly confirming the nuptials with a photo from her big day on Twitter saying, “I’m officially Mrs. Blackstock.”

Kelly gave birth to their first daughter together, River Rose Blackstock on June 12, 2014.
Two years later, she again shared on social media the birth of the couple’s second child, their son Remington Alexander Blackstock.
Prior to that, Kelly had already been taking on the role of stepmother to Brandon’s children from his first marriage, Savannah and Seth Blackstock.
Kelly hosted the Billboard Music Awards in 2018 and her supportive husband was there to cheer her on along with stepdaughter Savannah.
This was a rare appearance for Brandon, as he’s kept a low profile in the past and didn’t often join Kelly on the red carpet.
