Jelly Roll's Daughter Breaks Silence on Parents' Divorce
Bailee Ann, the 18-year-old daughter of country music star Jelly Roll, has spoken out publicly for the first time since news broke that her father filed for divorce from his wife of nearly a decade, Bunnie Xo. In a TikTok post, she expressed frustration over the intense public scrutiny surrounding the family's personal situation.
“Oh & one more thing I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter,” Bailee Ann wrote. She described the interest as “fkn crazy” and urged followers to “worry bout your house – not mine.” She concluded, “I’m not speaking on it – yet.”
Divorce Filing Details
Jelly Roll, legally named Jason DeFord, quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18. Court documents cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the separation. The filing indicates the couple will submit an agreement detailing the division of their assets and debts.
The couple married in August 2016 and frequently shared aspects of their relationship publicly through social media, interviews, and podcast appearances.
Signs of Trouble
Speculation about the split intensified earlier this month when Jelly Roll appeared at CMA Fest in Nashville without his wedding ring. Similar appearances in recent social media posts also sparked discussion among fans. Meanwhile, Bunnie Xo has shared several cryptic posts online, including messages about “women’s intuition,” former relationships, and “getting her sparkle back.”
Bailee Ann, one of Jelly Roll’s two children from previous relationships, remains close to her father. Last month, the singer publicly celebrated her 18th birthday and high school graduation with an emotional social media tribute, praising her achievements and future ambitions.
