As speculation surrounding Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s divorce continues to dominate social media, one member of the family is making it clear that not everyone appreciates the public fascination. The couple’s daughter, Bailee Ann DeFord, has stepped into the conversation with a blunt message.
This was aimed at those closely following the breakup, calling out what she sees as an unhealthy obsession with a deeply personal matter. While the end of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s nearly decade-long marriage came as a shock to many fans, Bailee’s response serves as a reminder that the headlines involve real people and real emotions.
Bailee Ann reacts to Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s breakup
Amid the news of her father, Jelly Roll, and stepmother Bunnie Xo’s split, their daughter Bailee Ann DeFord is making it clear that she wants people to stay out of the family’s private affairs. The 18-year-old took to TikTok Stories on June 16 to address the public fascination surrounding the breakup, calling the attention excessive and inappropriate. “I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter,” she wrote. “It’s fkn crazy.” Bailee also urged followers to focus on their own lives, adding, “Go on somewhere y’all. Worry bout your house, not mine.”
Although she insisted she would not discuss the situation for now, Bailee hinted that she may eventually speak out, writing, “I’m not speaking on it, yet.” The comments came shortly after news emerged that Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo had ended their marriage after nearly a decade together. According to divorce documents obtained by E! News, the “Son of a Sinner” singer listed May 9 as the couple’s date of separation and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
The breakup came as a surprise to many fans, especially since the pair frequently spoke publicly about their relationship. Bunnie, who released her memoir Unapologetic in February, had also appeared alongside Jelly Roll at several events in recent weeks. While neither has addressed the separation publicly, the Dumb Blonde podcast host has shared a series of cryptic posts in the wake of the news.
