Bunnie XO Bailee divorce chatter has now pulled in Bunnie herself, after Jelly Roll’s daughter Bailee Ann DeFord spoke on TikTok Live about her father’s split.
According to TMZ, Bailee went live over the weekend and addressed speculation around Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s divorce. Afterward, a TikTok user asked Bunnie to respond, saying Bailee had been saying “weird stuff.”
Bunnie answered in the comments of one of her TikTok videos and made clear she did not see a family firestorm to put out. She wrote that there was “nothing to clear up,” adding: “She didn’t say anything lol ppl just wanna run w a narrative 💞 Love my baby forever.”
What did Bunnie XO say about Bailee Ann DeFord?
Bunnie said Bailee had not said anything that required a public explanation. Her comment also signaled affection for Bailee, with Bunnie referring to her as “my baby” while pushing back on the idea that the TikTok Live created new drama.
Bailee is Jelly Roll’s daughter. Bunnie XO, a podcaster and online personality, was married to the country singer for nearly 10 years, according to TMZ.
What did Bailee say about Jelly Roll’s divorce?
TMZ previously reported that Bailee addressed online speculation about cheating and rejected that theory. She did not publicly give a full explanation for why Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO split, but she suggested there was more to the story.
In the TikTok Live comments reported by TMZ, Bailee said: “Y'all have no f***ing idea what happened, and wait 'till y'all find out. Just f***ing wait.”
The remark fueled more attention around the breakup because Bailee appeared to say she knew what led to the divorce, while also withholding the details. Bunnie’s later response, though, framed the online reaction as people building a story around Bailee’s words.
What has Bunnie XO said about the split?
Bunnie has previously discussed the breakup on her podcast, where she said she and Jelly Roll had a communication breakdown, according to TMZ.
No further explanation for the divorce was given in Bunnie’s TikTok reply. Her latest comment kept the focus on Bailee, denying that the younger DeFord’s Live needed correction and ending the reply with a public show of love.
The exchange is the latest moment in the public afterlife of the former couple’s split, with TikTok comments, podcast remarks and fan speculation all colliding around a family matter that Bunnie says does not need clearing up.
