Jelly Roll‘s daughter, Bailee Ann, made it clear that the public doesn’t know the full story behind her parents’ divorce. The country superstar filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo in May after almost 10 years of marriage. Many have speculated about the reason for their split, and while they didn’t share details, both confirmed that it wasn’t because of infidelity.
Now, Bailee Ann is sharing that the public may be surprised to know the real cause of the separation, hinting that the full story will come to light in time.
It’s been a little over a month since Jelly Roll’s divorce from Bunnie Xo made headlines. In recent weeks, more information has come to light, but the real reason for the couple’s shocking split has not been revealed, as the singer’s daughter, Bailee Ann DeFord, revealed.
The 18-year-old went live on TikTok on Sunday, July 19, and defended her father against online haters. “Don’t y’all ever come for my father’s name like that again. I’m so done,” she said, telling the public to stop messaging her and leaving comments about the divorce. “I don’t want to talk about it,” Bailee Ann added.
She also reiterated what Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo have said, confirming that infidelity had nothing to do with the demise of the marriage. Bailee Ann did say, however, that the real reason would surprise fans, as reported by Page Six.
Bailee Ann Says The Internet Will ‘Crumble’ When They Find Out What Really Happened
Jelly Roll’s daughter continued to say that the public has absolutely no idea what really happened, despite many speculations about the divorce.
“I promise y’all, the view of what y’all have of not only the situation, but their relationship and internet in totality is about to f-cking crumble the day that I open my mouth,” the teen said, adding that it wasn’t about a “difference in f-cking opinion.”
Bunnie Xo shared some details about the divorce in an episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, which has since been deleted. As The Blast previously reported, the couple had an explosive fight on Mother’s Day that led Bunnie Xo to tell Jelly Roll to “file the f-cking divorce papers” in the heat of the moment. She didn’t disclose what the argument was about.
“Wait ’til y’all find out. Just f-cking wait,” Bailee Ann said on TikTok.
Bunnie Xo Has A Close Relationship With Jelly Roll’s Daughter
Bailee Ann is Jelly Roll’s daughter from a previous relationship, but the singer and podcast host has had primary custody of her since she was 8 years old. The teen has a close relationship with Bunnie Xo, describing her as her idol and mentor.
In her podcast, Bunnie Xo shared that Bailee Anne had been upset to learn about the divorce, and admitted that the teen was “mad” about the situation. Bunnie Xo said that she understands what Bailee is going through and will give her space to process her feelings.
“The only woman she has had consistently in her life, she feels, is being taken from her, and it’s a weird transition that we’re gonna have to navigate,” she said.
Jelly Roll And Bunnie Xo Remain Best Friends
Despite their divorce, both Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo said they will remain in each other’s lives as best friends. The latter admitted that the decision to split was not mutual, and she told him to file the divorce papers due to frustration at that time. As time passed, however, she has learned to accept that they’re better off as best friends.
“We will always be best friends. I will love her. She will probably be the only woman I’ll ever love the way I loved her,” the country singer said at one of his concerts soon after their divorce was revealed to the public.
Both have started to move on from each other. Bunnie Xo said that her ex-husband is back in the dating scene, and she fully supports him. She, on the other hand, was spotted making out with Dylan Wolf over the Fourth of July weekend. She later clarified that they were not dating and she was simply having fun.

While the exact details of the settlement remain private, an insider told PEOPLE that both parties didn’t want to prolong the process and remained respectful of the other. “He’s a very generous person by nature and wanted to make sure the divorce was handled fairly and respectfully,” the source noted.
