Jelly Roll is a loving and caring father to his two children, Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy. He takes great pride in being their dad and is always there to protect and support them.
The country music singer has mentioned multiple times how the birth of his daughter in 2008 completely transformed his life in a positive way. When Bailee was born, Jelly Roll happened to be in prison for drug dealing.
I realized that I couldn’t continue being selfish anymore. During an interview with 105.7 The Point, Jelly Roll openly shared that there was something that depended solely on him. I was aware that the task was important. I wanted to approach it with a serious mindset. Yes, I did. I still take it very seriously to this day.
In 2016, Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO decided to elope. They were able to obtain primary custody of their child, Bailee. That year, their family of three expanded when Jelly Roll’s son from a previous relationship joined them.
The couple doesn’t often share updates about Bailee and Noah on social media because they value their privacy. However, that hasn’t prevented the “Son of a Sinner” singer from expressing his love for his children in interviews. After winning three awards at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, Jelly Roll became emotional when discussing Bailee and the deep meaning this achievement holds for their family.
Jelly Roll is with his father, along with his kids Bailee Ann and Noah.
Can you please provide me with the Instagram handle for Jelly Roll?
She is aware of the story. She understands the true extent of its reality. He expressed his pride for her during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. I have so much love for you, Bailee Ann. As soon as I stepped off the stage, it crossed my mind. You have had such a profound impact on my life, in countless ways. I can’t believe it. For us, this goes beyond just receiving one award. We originated from nothing.
I have all the details about Jelly Roll’s two children, whom he shares parenting responsibilities with his wife, Bunnie XO.

- Bailee Ann
Bailee Ann was born on May 22, 2008. When Jelly Roll was 23 years old, he was in prison when he found out about the birth of his daughter. He considers this moment as a turning point in his life, similar to the story of the “road to Damascus.”
In the middle of the afternoon, while I was in lockdown, a guard came and knocked on my cell door. During an interview with Billboard, Jelly Roll shared that he remembers him saying, “You had a kid today.” I’ve never experienced a situation in life that made me feel an immediate need to make a change. I need to solve this problem immediately.
Jelly Roll initially felt annoyed by the news, but he later realized that his daughter’s birth had a profound impact on him, motivating him to make positive changes in his life. He got out of prison right on time for Bailee’s second birthday, and he cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill.
- Noah Buddy
Jelly Roll became a father to a son named Noah Buddy DeFord on August 23, 2016. Jelly Roll has chosen not to discuss his son in interviews, except for sharing a birth announcement on Facebook. Noah became known to fans when he and his stepmom, Bunnie XO, created a TikTok video together before his seventh birthday in 2023.
He introduces himself to the camera with a shy but excited smile, saying, “Hi, I’m Noah, and I absolutely love the color red!”
In another part of the video, Noah mentioned that he really enjoys playing Pokemon and soccer. He also mentioned that he would love to have a dog and a cat as pets. He also playfully mentioned that he believes his older sister is more awesome than their well-known father.
Fans were taken aback when they saw Noah in the TikTok video, but Bunnie XO made it clear in the comments that she had gotten permission from Noah’s mom before sharing the video.
