Jelly Roll's daughter hints at explosive reason behind Bunnie XO divorce
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bailee Ann DeFord, the daughter of Jelly Roll, pushed back against online speculation surrounding the singer's split from Bunnie XO during a heated TikTok Live on Sunday, July 19.
The 18-year-old defended her father, denied speculation of infidelity, and hinted that the real reason behind the divorce has yet to be revealed. She also suggested the public's perception of the former couple's relationship could change once the full story comes out.
Bailee Ann DeFord hints fans do not know the real reason behind Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO's divorce
DeFord expressed her frustration during a TikTok Live, making it clear she was fed up with the messages and comments received about her father's divorce. "Don't y'all ever come for my father's name like that again. I'm so done," she said.
She further added, "Get out of my DMs, out of my comments, and out of my life with that. I don't care. I don't want to talk about it." While refusing to reveal what led to the breakup, she insisted that neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO had been unfaithful.
At the same time, she suggested that fans would eventually learn the truth. "Y'all have no idea what happened, and wait 'till y'all find out. Just wait," she shared. "Because I promise y'all, the view of what y'all have of not only the situation, but their relationship and the internet in totality is about to crumble the day that I open my mouth."
She also emphasized that outsiders were in no position to judge the situation, saying, "It's not a difference in opinions. Nobody else lived in it, so don't even. I'm for real so done."
This is not the first time she has addressed the public conversation surrounding the divorce.
Last month, she said in an expiring TikTok post that she was "disgusted" by how invested people had become "in a very clearly private family matter. Worry 'bout your house — not mine," while adding, "I'm not speaking on it — yet."

In another TikTok post, DeFord thanked those who had shown her compassion amid what she described as an onslaught of hate. "I will never forget those of you that have showed me empathy when I'm seeing a lot of hate. Thank you. So much," she shared.
She continued, "And to everyone else, I hope humanity can evolve to a place where kindness comes first. 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.”
Jelly Roll shares DeFord with ex Felicia Beckwith. He also has a 9-year-old son, Noah, with ex Melisa Ann Cowell. Page Six confirmed last month that he quietly filed for divorce from the influencer in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18 after nearly 10 years of marriage.
The former couple finalized their divorce last Friday. Despite ending their marriage, Bunnie XO revealed on her 'Dumb Blonde' podcast that the two still hope to have a baby together after she underwent IVF.
According to the former couple's marital dissolution agreement obtained by Page Six, both ignored separate advice from their attorneys about the consequences that having a baby together could have on their divorce agreement.
Court documents also showed that Jelly Roll cited irreconcilable differences when filing for divorce on May 18. Days later, while performing in New York, he publicly addressed the split, "Me and my wife are best friends, we will always be best friends, she will probably be the only woman I'll ever love the way I loved her.”
