Jelly Roll's daughter, 18, breaks silence on his divorce despite close bond with stepmom Bunnie XO... as she calls it a 'private family matter'

Jelly Roll's daughter has broken her silence on his shock divorce from longtime wife Bunnie XO.

Bailee Ann, 18, who the country singer shares with ex-girlfriend Felicia Beckwith, took to TikTok on Tuesday to call out the public for speculating on a 'private family matter.'

'I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter,' she posted alongside a photo of herself pouting in bed.

While she did not directly address the split news, Bailee Ann told fans to 'worry about your house - not mine.

'I'm not speaking on it - yet,' Bailee Ann concluded the TikTok Stories post.

The teenager has a famously close bond with Bunnie, who stepped up as a mother figure when Jelly Roll gained primary custody of his daughter in 2017.

She has posted countless videos to TikTok with Bunnie, all of which are hashtagged '#baileeandbunnie' and feature footage of the duo spending time together.

Bailee Ann has also frequently referred to Bunnie as 'mom' in her social media posts.

In a September 2025 TikTok video, Bailee Ann joked about having her 'mom' Bunnie's 'back a little too much' as she spoke about defending the blonde from haters.

Just months ago, Bunnie reflected on her and Bailee Ann's deep connection in front of an audience of millions as she appeared on the Today with Jenna and Sheinelle.

She told the co-hosts that she saw herself in Bailee Ann due to them both having mothers who struggled with addiction.

'When I met Bailee, I was looking at a younger version of me. Our lives are so parallel with the addict moms and just in and out of our lives.'

She lovingly described the teenager as being 'so independent and so headstrong and tenacious.'

'When I saw her, I was like this is me and she deserves the chance I didn't get.'

Bunnie added that 'nothing' makes her 'tear up or choke up' more than speaking about her relationship with Bailee Ann.

'She really just was such a catalyst in my husband and I having to grow up and become adults. We were running from becoming adults for so long, and it was all because we wanted to give Bailee a chance.'

Bunnie continued, 'She's such a good kid, and I'm like, you know what, we did that. Like, I know that I didn't birth her, but that's my child.

'That's my kid. I will ride for her until forever.'

She also said that raising Bailee Ann over the last decade has helped her overcome her 'biggest fear.'

'My biggest fear of having children of my own was inflicting trauma on them, unwanted trauma on them, especially because of what I went through as a child.

'Being able to raise Bailee, I looked at her, and I am just like, "You know what, I might be able to do this with my own."'

Along with Bailee Ann, Jelly Roll is also father to 10-year-old son Noah Buddy, who he shares with a woman named Melisa Ann Cowell and welcomed just one week before marrying Bunnie in August 2016.

News of the couple's divorce was revealed Monday.

Jelly Roll submitted the divorce documents last month in Tennessee, according to TMZ.

The last time the two were seen together publicly was during his tour stop in Las Vegas back in February.

Sources told TMZ that the pair's decision to separate was 'mutual' after they tied the knot back in 2016, and would have celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary in August. 

Despite the speculation around the split, Jelly Roll ventured to Toronto, Canada on Tuesday night to perform with Post Malone at Rogers Stadium as part of their joint tour.

The tour was originally scheduled to kick off in mid-May but was pushed back due to a scheduling conflict with Post Malone. The duo are set to tour together until October.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie first crossed paths in 2015 and became friends due to her being in a relationship at the time.

However, following her breakup, she and Jelly Roll sparked up a romance. 

The following year, the pair married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. 

'We hit it off. She said she fell in love with the saddest eyes in the room,' Jelly Roll previously recalled how they first met on the radio show Taste Of Country Nights in 2022. 

'I'm not going to act like I shot my shot. She kind of shot hers. We had mutual friends,' the singer continued. 

Both he and Bunnie briefly split in 2018 after the music artist had an affair and admitted that cheating on his wife had been 'one of the worst moments' of his life. 

He had gotten candid on the topic during an episode of the Human School podcast last year. 

'I don't talk about this publicly at all,' Jelly Roll began. 'But one of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife [sic].' 

The singer continued, 'Because it was the first time that I was like, "I really can't get this right at all. I know I'm in love with this woman." It just really, really, really blew me back.' 

He explained that he 'did a lot of work to repair' his relationship with Bunnie and added that the 'repair has been special.' 

'We are stronger than we could have ever been,' Jelly Roll told the podcast host at the time. 'I wish our story would've went in the way that it never had an affair. 

'I am in no way glad it happened. But man, I am proud of who we are today. You know what I mean? I truly am.' 

Further details of the singer's affair are not known. 

Bunnie referenced the split in a TikTok video uploaded back in 2024 that showed the pair posing for photos. 

The media personality added text over the short reel, which read: 'Who knew that us breaking up in 2018, me moving back to Vegas & you coming to get me back - would have put us on this wild journey called life. 

'We finally committed to each other & did everything we promised each other the first night in 2016.' 

Bunnie concluded with, 'Our castle in the sand had to crumble so we could rebuild on solid ground. I yuh you so mushhh.' 

Back in 2023, the couple exchanged vows once again in Las Vegas at the same chapel where they initially said 'I do' in 2016. 

In February, Bunnie revealed intimacy challenges with the singer before his 300lb weight-loss transformation. 

'We always had a sex life, but there were mountains and valleys that we had to go through, especially when he was so big,' she told Us Weekly. 

Following his weight-loss journey, she added that the star has a 'new zest for life' and that she is able to see him 'be the man that I always saw that he was.' 

Bunnie continued, 'Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I’m like, "You are athletic under that meat suit."

'Now that he has the weight off of him, he just gets to be who I always knew that he was, and I think it's brought a new sense of happiness to him. Any time he's happy, I'm happy.'

That same month, Jelly Roll had given Bunnie a special shout-out as he accepted a Grammy for Best Contemporary Country Album. 

'I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have never changed my life without you,' he expressed during his speech. 

'I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn't for you and Jesus. I thank you for that.'
