Jelly Roll was recently seen out with his 9-year-old son, Noah, at a basketball game. On December 6 in Nashville, the country singer and rapper attended the Tennessee Volunteers vs. Illinois Fighting Illini game with his son. Little Noah was photographed by his side, looking focused on the action.

Jelly Roll has had an interesting redemption arc, but there are times he's admitted that being a father really scared him. Given all he'd been through, it's understandable. He talked about this in a Father's Day post this year.
"The greatest gift god has ever given me was becoming a father," he wrote. "All these songs I hear people write about their children are really lovey-dovey, and sometimes I felt like I was the only parent in the world who was petrified of passing my generational curses onto my kids."
He continued, "It scared the s**t out of me. And I didn't think anyone had written a song about that, so to all the fathers out there who have worried that your trauma would affect your child, I dedicate this to you today." His song, "My Cross", speaks about his feelings on the subject.
Jelly Roll is also the father of a 17-year-old daughter, Bailey Ann. Bailey Ann and Noah Buddy are from separate relationships.
Bunnie Xo Talks IVF Treatments and Adoption
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll have been together for nearly a decade. However, they've just recently chosen to embark on the journey of having children of their own. In March of 2025, Bunnie explained via TikTok that she had undergone IVF treatments. The goal was to get pregnant, she explained, "just so that I can have a little piece of my husband and me — just a little piece wrapped in skin— to just add to the other two beautiful children that we have together."
In June, the podcaster said she and Jelly finally got "a huge win" after about 5 months of treatments. She explained that she'd received a positive phone call, but also clarified that it was "not a pregnancy announcement."
However, she's also explained that, if a biological child doesn't seem to be in the cards, she's always open to adoption. "If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. And if not, we can always adopt," Bunnie explained on her podcast. "I'm totally open to adoption too, and so is my husband."
