He shared a birthday tribute to his daughter on May 28 and wrote: “To my oldest child and my only daughter.. I honestly don’t even know where to begin this.. perhaps I’ll start with a story.. when you were about four years old, I was renting a house right behind my father’s house.
“And when I say right behind my father’s house, I mean you could literally walk from my back door to his back door.
“One day when we were walking there, you stopped all of a sudden and said “dad how are we gonna get across that river? “. I was a little confused at first, and I looked back at you and in that moment, I could see the wide eyes of a little girl who is living in her beautiful imagination….
“ I immediately said “the river is gonna be a problem, cause it probably has alligators in it, but I’m more worried about those tigers on the other side“. You told me in that moment, the bears were gonna be the real problem..
“It took us almost 2 hours to walk less than 20 yards.. we wrestled the imaginary alligators, we ran from hyenas, we fist fought bears, we swam in the river, anacondas,…. Little did I know in that moment, your imagination was opening mine and that you were fixing to be the biggest impact on my life and the biggest part of my journey ever…
“Today you turned 18 years old and graduate high school.. today you accomplish something very very very few people in this family have ever accomplished, including myself … you are not only a high school graduate. You are soon to be a college student.
“When we talk about generational curses and breaking them, you literally are the epitome of that. You are kind, smart, caring, loving, adventurous, funny, sassy, honest. To put it plainly you were everything I have never been..
“Some people were born to walk. Some people were born to run, but very few were born to fly… New Bailee Ann were born to FLY!
“18. Looks good on you. I can’t wait until I’m posting about how proud I am with you graduating college. I can’t wait until I’m posting pictures from your wedding. I can’t wait to see the woman you end up becoming.”
On March 8, Jelly Roll praised his wife Bunny Xo on Instagram and said: “To my beautiful, intelligent, compassionate, graceful wife, and newly New York Times best selling author, I’ll never be able to thank you enough for making me complete. You truly saved my life.Today is International Women’s Day. They say behind every good man is a great woman, and I know thats damn true for me y’all.“God is within her, she will not fall.” -Psalm 46:5.”
Jelly Roll married podcaster and content creator Bunny Xo in 2016 at a Las Vegas chapel. Bunny Xo became a stepmum to Jelly O’s children and in an interview with People magazine, she opened up about trying to have children.
Bunny Xo said: "I don't know if it's that I did or if I didn't choose it, but I think before we come here, we choose our life path, and we yearn for the pain that we go through," and also said: “And I genuinely think that having those abortions when I was younger [and] the journey that I'm going on now with IVF [is] God's putting me through this again, so that I can be a voice for those women who are going through this process."
It has now been reported that Jelly Roll and Bunny Xo are divorcing after nearly a decade of marriage. TMZ reported that “According to court records obtained by TMZ, Jelly Roll filed for divorce from his wife in May in Tennessee.”
Sources told TMZ that... “the divorce was a mutual decision by the two and a private family matter.”
