Jelly Roll's Daughter Calls Out Public Obsession with Parents' Divorce

Bailee Ann, the 18-year-old daughter of country music star Jelly Roll, has publicly condemned the intense public interest surrounding her father's recent divorce filing from his wife, Bunnie Xo. In a TikTok video posted on June 17, 2026, she expressed disgust at the level of investment people have shown in what she described as a private family matter. Bailee Ann urged fans to focus on their own lives, writing, "It's f---n crazy. Go on somewhere yall. Worry bout your house- not mine. I'm not speaking on it - yet."

Despite the negative attention, Bailee Ann thanked her supporters for their kindness and empathy. In a separate post, she wrote, "I can say on a more positive note — thank you to everyone who is showing me so much love and kindness through everything. At the end of the day, no matter what, we are all humans with feelings and that is worthy of compassion." She continued, "I love yall. I will never forget those of you that have shown me empathy when I’m seeing a lot of hate."

Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18, 2026, in Williamson County, Tennessee, citing irreconcilable differences and listing the date of separation as May 9. The couple had been married for nearly ten years. A source told People that the relationship had "always had a complicated dynamic," noting that the singer's recent weight loss journey and focus on health had led to significant personal changes. The source added that there was not a single breaking point but rather a gradual shift.

In the weeks leading up to the filing, both Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo had posted cryptic social media content that hinted at marital trouble. Bunnie shared a video with lyrics from Heart's "Magic Man" and later posted another with Aerosmith's "What It Takes," captioning it, "Wild hearts can’t be broken." She also shared a TikTok on May 20 with the caption "Women’s intuition when that s--- don’t add up." Fans have since noted these as subtle clues that were missed at the time. Jelly Roll performed at CMA Fest in Nashville on June 4 without his wedding ring, further fueling public speculation.

Bailee Ann’s comments underscore the tension between public figures and the invasive scrutiny of their personal lives. While she has chosen not to discuss the matter further at this time, her posts have drawn widespread support from fans who respect her call for privacy and decency.
