Who is Jelly Roll’s 16-year-old musician daughter, Bailee Ann? She was born while her dad was still in prison, had a ‘traumatic’ childhood, and lives with the singer and his wife, former escort Bunnie XO
- American singer Jelly Roll just made a rare public appearance with his children – daughter Bailee Ann and son Noah Buddy – at the 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards on July 13 in Santa Monica
- Bailee Ann currently lives with her dad and stepmother Bunnie XO due to her biological mum’s drug addiction issues, and says she’s ‘worked through [her] childhood’ traumas
It’s rare for Jelly Roll to bring his kids to events, but he has been open about the impact they’ve had on his life since they came along. In an interview with 105.7 The Point last year, he said he had an epiphany that he “could no longer be selfish. There was something that was solely relying on me”, referring to the fact that he was in prison for drug dealing when his daughter was born, which inspired him to turn his life around.
Here’s what we know about Jelly Roll’s eldest, 16-year-old Bailee Ann:
Who is Bailee Ann’s biological mother?
Bailee Ann’s biological mother is a woman named Felicia Beckwith. According to The Things, Beckwith met the singer when they were both much younger and fell pregnant with Bailee Ann when Jelly Roll was just 17.
Bailee Ann’s little brother, Noah Buddy, seven, was born to a woman known only as Melisa, per The Things.
She had a “traumatic” childhood
During an appearance on her dad’s Hulu documentary, Jelly Roll: Save Me, Bailee Ann said she had an unstable childhood. “I had an extra, interesting, traumatic childhood. Bunnie did, my dad did. They’re important reasons for why my mum is in my life now and is sober,” she said. “As a teenager, I’ve moved on. I’ve worked through my childhood. But that doesn’t make it go away. It made me who I am today.”
She’s a musician, like her dad
Bailee has pursued music, just like her father. Per People, she wrote a song called “Tears Could Talk” when she was just 10 years old, which was later featured in her dad’s album, A Beautiful Disaster.
