Jelly Roll's daughter speaks out on Bunnie Xo split
Jelly Roll's daughter, Bailee Ann DeFord, has spoken out about her father's split from his wife Bunnie Xo - declaring she is "disgusted" by all the gossip circulating online about the "private family matter".
Jelly Roll's daughter is "disgusted" by gossip about his split from Bunnie Xo.
The 41-year-old musician sparked shock on Monday (15.06.26) when it emerged he had filed for divorce on 18 May after a decade of marriage and now his 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship has urged fans to stop speculating about what went wrong in the relationship - insisting it's a "private family matter".
In a post on TikTok, the teenager wrote: "I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter. It’s fkn [sic] crazy.
"Go on somewhere yall. Worry ‘bout your house - not mine. I’m not speaking on it - yet."
Bailee is Jelly Roll's daughter from a previous relationship with Felicia Beckwith. The musician shares primary custody of Bailey with Bunnie.
News of the split emerged on Monday (15.06.26) and it later emerged the pair separated just a week after Bunnie declared she had found her happily ever after.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce on 18 May with the documents citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the petition, while their separation date was listed as 9 May.
That date was just a week after Jelly and Bunnie had shared photos on social media of Bailee heading to her prom, with the podcaster referring to herself and the Save Me singer as "Maw + Paw of the Prom Queen".
On the same day, Bunnie shared a TikTok video of herself with Jelly and Bailee along with the text: "Never believed in ever after happily until y'all."
The Need a Favor singer, whose real name is Jason DeFord, married Bunnie in August 2016 on the same night they got engaged, and they renewed their vows in 2023.
The split news comes after Bunnie recently opened up about the ups and downs of the couple's marriage, declaring it is important to love someone even when they are "at their lowest" because "everybody deserves a second chance".
Speaking to People earlier this year, the star - whose real name is Alisa DeFord - explained: "When you are with somebody for a long time, you are going to have to love them at their lowest. And I truly believe that true love is not about so much as accepting things that you shouldn’t, but I do think that everybody deserves a second chance.
"Loving somebody at their lowest is one of the most beautiful things you can do, especially if they bloom and they blossom like my husband has."
And back in February, Jelly - who also has nine-year-old son Noah from a previous relationship - made a moving speech at the 2026 Grammy Awards as he accepted the prize for Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken, crediting his wife with saving his life.
He said: "I would have never change my life without you. I’d have ended up dead or in jail. I’d have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus."
