Jelly Rolls Divorce: Devastation, Disgust, and Demands

Unfortunately, Beckwith's sobriety didn't last long. While speaking to lawmakers in Washington, DC, in 2024 about his experience with the fentanyl crisis, Jelly Roll implied in his speech that Beckwith had relapsed.

'Every single day I have to wonder, me and my wife, if today will be the day I have to tell my daughter that her mother became a part of the national statistic,' he said.

As for Bailee, she shared the dark details of her mother's relapse during an appearance on Bunnie's Dumb Blonde podcast that same year. 

Back in 2022, a then-14-year-old Bailee had gone to spend the summer with her mother. While Beckwith wasn't partaking in her typical drug use, Bailee explained that her mom had been drinking alcohol on occasion. 

And that summer, Beckwith provided her underage daughter with alcohol and marijuana and actively encouraged Bailee to participate in both.

Even worse, Bailee said that her mother 'manipulated me and convinced me to do' an unnamed drug with her at an 'empty Dollar General parking lot' after a Fourth of July party.

Over the next few months, Bailee said she was 'never sober' and was consistently drinking, vaping, 'or snorting Valiums or Xanax,' without Jelly Roll or Bunnie's knowledge. 

It wasn't until she returned to their Nashville home that her parents realized something was wrong, and helped their teen daughter get sober. 

She also cut off all contact with her biological mother during this time.

Last year, Beckwith was one of three people arrested on drug charges after police found methamphetamine and fentanyl during a traffic stop in Johnson City, Tennessee.

On Wednesday this week, she was sentenced to 30 days in jail and three years supervised probation, a Washington County court clerk told the Daily Mail.

But despite Bailee's rocky relationship with her birth mother, she found stability in Bunnie.

Their close relationship is evidenced on TikTok, where Bailee has shared several amusing videos of the pair dancing in their living room and making videos in the kitchen.

On Instagram, Bailee has called the retired OnlyFans star her 'best friend' and 'the most gorgeous woman I know,' and declared how her 'life changed forever, for the better' when her father and stepmother gained primary custody. 

'Mom, I love you more than anything in this life and ever will,' Bailee once wrote in a gushing birthday tribute. 'Thank you for being everything I ever needed. Thank you for everything. Happy birthday mama, Iove you so much.'

But Bunnie isn't the only maternal figure that Jelly Roll's daughter has had in her life.

Although Bailee no longer lives with her biological mother, she did develop a close friendship with Cheyenne Murphy, Beckwith's ex-girlfriend of several years.

According to posts on social media, Murphy, who also lives in Tennessee, was on and off with Bailee's mother for many years and had a part in raising Bailee since she was a small child.

Their relationship is seen on Instagram and Facebook, where Murphy posts birthday tributes and selfies with Jelly Roll's daughter. Other videos have shown Bailee and Murphy attending Jelly Roll's concerts together, and celebrating milestones such as Bailee's prom night.

A video posted by Bunnie in December 2025 also appeared to show Murphy helping out on the family's farm by wrangling cows in their front yard, though she is listed on her Facebook account as working at Pioneer Coach & Production Transport in Nashville.

Following news of their divorce, however, Murphy made a point to tell her Facebook followers that she had no insight to share about Jelly Roll and Bunnie's relationship.

'Don't ask I don't have answers, and if I did it's NOT my place to speak on! BE RESPECTFUL PEOPLE!!!' the post read.

While Jelly Roll's daughter has been in the public eye throughout his rise to country music fame, his younger son Noah has been kept far from the spotlight.

In August 2016, the same month he tied the knot with Bunnie, the country star welcomed a baby boy with his on-again, off-again girlfriend of ten years, Melisa Cowell.

Although Jelly Roll had recently gained primary custody of his daughter when Noah was born, court documents obtained by the Daily Mail revealed that he and Cowell share custody of their son.

Following his birth, Cowell was automatically given full legal and physical custody of Noah per Tennessee law.

In October 2016, Jelly Roll was ordered by the court to pay temporary child support of $1,250 per month. A parenting plan dated March 2017 showed that Cowell is responsible for their son 282 days of the year, while Jelly Roll has Noah 83 days of the year. In that same document, Jelly Roll's child support was increased to $1,354 per month.

However, it is unclear whether the exes' custody arrangement has changed since Jelly Roll's rise to fame, considering no documents have been made public since 2022.

Unlike Bailee's biological mother, Cowell plays an active role in Noah's life such that any social media post featuring her son must be approved by her first.

That includes a sweet TikTok video shared by Bunnie in July 2023, in which Noah was asked by his stepmother to list some of his favorite things.

Jelly Roll revealed that he tries 'not to get in the way of what [Cowell] is building over there' because he wants to 'just respect that boundary,' though he was most recently seen sitting courtside with his son at a college basketball game in December.

As for Bunnie's relationship with Cowell, she has publicly praised her as 'one stand up chick' and they 'couldn't imagine our lives without her.'

'It takes a village to raise these babies & luckily we have her as a part of the family,' Bunnie said. 'Love you girl!'

Despite the active maternal role Bunnie has played in the lives of Jelly Roll's children, the former sex worker has long desired biological children of her own. Before he filed for divorce, the estranged couple were even working towards welcoming twins via a surrogate.

Bunnie told fans in 2019 that they had been (IVF) after discovering that her fallopian tubes are blocked. As recently as February, she revealed in her memoir they had found a surrogate to carry their future baby.

Now, it seems Bunnie's dream to welcome children of her own has been indefinitely put on hold.
