Clarkson and Blackstock married in a small ceremony at Blackberry Farms in Tennessee, in October 2013, after almost two years of dating.
The duo originally met while Clarkson was rehearsing with the band Rascal Flatts for the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2006, because Blackstock was working as the group’s tour manager at the time and is the son of her former manager.
It wasn’t until about six years later, though, that they began dating after getting a push from Blackstock’s (now former) step-mother, country legend Reba McEntire, who also happens to be one of Clarkson’s idols.
