Reba McEntire and Narvel Blackstock may not be together any longer, but that hasn’t change much about her relationship with Brandon Blackstock. In an interview with Extra TV in 2020, McEntire spoke about her stepson’s divorce from Clarkson, with whom she famously duetted to “Because of You,” and she made it clear that she’s not picking sides. When asked whether or not she had given Clarkson advice after her split from Brandon, McEntire had a very diplomatic yet sweet message. “You know, I love them both. Brandon’s my stepson, Kelly’s my good friend. I am pulling for both of them. I hope they’re happy and healthy and pull through this. I pray everyone gives them the encouragement they can because they need it right now, both of them do,” she told the outlet, adding that she loves both Brandon and Clarkson “with all my heart.”
The star echoed similar sentiments in a 2021 interview with Entertainment Tonight. “Brandon’s been my son forever it seems. Although he’s my stepson, I still love him like he’s my total — my blood, so I’m praying for ’em both ’cause I love ’em both,” she shared. In the past, McEntire has also made it crystal clear that Narvel’s children from a previous marriage were no less her own. “I don’t consider Brandon, Chassidy and Shawna [husband Narvel Blackstock’s children from his first marriage] step-children. I claim them all,” she told The Boot in 2010. We love that!
