Jelly Roll's daughter has spoken out in the wake of her father's divorce from his wife, Bunnie Xo, after 10 years of marriage.
As previously reported, Jelly Roll, real name Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18.
He and Bunnie had originally started dating in 2015 after meeting at one of Jelly Roll's Las Vegas shows, with the pair tying the knot a year later, after he proposed to Bunnie on stage.
However, 10 years after their 2016 wedding, the couple has decided to call it quits, though neither has yet released a statement publicly.
Fans spotted that Jelly Roll's 18-year-old daughter, Bailee Ann, shared a message after the news went public, addressing her dad's divorce.
Bailee took to her story on TikTok to write: "Oh & one more thing I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter. It's fkn crazy."
She added: "Go on somewhere yall. Worry bout your house - not mine. I’m not speaking on it – yet."
She then shared a further post thanking those who'd showed her "love and kindness", adding: "I understand & respect opinions and that a public profile is a public profile, but that doesn't have to mean we throw away our human decency."
As well as Bailee, Jelly Roll is also father to a son, nine-year-old Noah Buddy, from previous relationships. He and Bunnie do not share any children of their own.
The 'Son of a Sinner' star, 41 cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce from Bunnie, 46.
According to court documents, Jelly Roll noted that he and Bunnie plan to file an agreement to divide their assets and debts.
Rumors that the couple were parting ways began in June after Jelly Roll was seen without his wedding ring at the 2026 CMA Fest in Nashville.
A moving truck was also seen outside the home the couple shared in Tennessee, though it is not known which partner was the one moving their belongings out at the time.
Earlier in the year, the couple had appeared loved up at the Grammy awards, where they were seen sharing kisses.
Jelly Roll also shared a heartfelt tribute to Bunnie in his speech after winning Best Contemporary Country Album.
As part of his acceptance speech, he said: "I want to thank my beautiful wife,
"I would have never changed my life without you. 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."
