Bunnie Xo recently opened up about the emotional fallout of her divorce from country music star Jelly Roll, confirming that his 18-year-old daughter Bailee Ann is upset about the split. Jelly Roll officially filed for divorce on May 18, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences. The deeply personal situation escalated this week when Bailee decided to address the intense public scrutiny directly on her own social media.
Key Details
