Bunnie Xo is responding to speculation about why her marriage to Jelly Roll ended after the country musician's daughter alluded to a reason the public is not privy to.
The "Dumb Blonde" podcast host, 46, and the "Save Me" singer, 41, separated amicably and filed for divorce in May after 10 years of marriage.
During a TikTok livestream on July 19, Bailee Ann, the 18-year-old daughter of the Grammy-winning musician, told viewers that people have no idea why her father's marriage ended and said, "wait til y'all find out."
"The internet in totality is about to ... crumble the day that I open my mouth," she said. Ann later elaborated that "nobody cheated" and said, "I don't want to talk about it."
The podcaster and "Stripped Down" author later addressed Ann's remarks in a comment section of a July 22 TikTok video, writing: "Nothing to clear up. She didn't say anything lol ppl just wanna run with a narrative," according to People. The comment reply is no longer visible.
"Love my baby forever," she said about Ann, per People.
Jelly Roll has two children from previous relationships, including Ann, whom he shares with ex Felicia Beckwith, and 9-year-old Noah Buddy, whom he shares with ex Melisa Ann Cowell.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo finalize divorce
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, and Bunnie Xo, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, have finalized their divorce proceedings, agreeing to split their assets, according to a marital dissolution agreement filed in Tennessee on July 17 and obtained by USA TODAY.

The musician will instead pay his ex-wife a lump sum, though the amount remains confidential.
According to the court filing, the former couple has "agreed to a certain confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement."
The two, who married in Las Vegas on Aug. 30, 2016, cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason they split.
Bunnie Xo said they want to welcome a child together
On a June 18 episode of "Dumb Blonde," Alisa said they are "still having a baby together" as planned through in vitro fertilization. The former couple has previously discussed wanting to welcome children together through IVF.
"So, we have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered," she said. "We're going to co-parent together. J is my best friend. Like, this isn't what you guys think this is. Nobody cheated on the other person. It's literally just we served our purpose for each other."
"He wants the same thing. We're just going to raise a little nugget as one happy family," she added.
Bunnie expressed gratitude for where they stand after their divorce, saying, "Being happy and healthy and best friends through this is probably the biggest gift that we could have given each other."
