The country star, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, shares Bailee with ex-girlfriend Felicia. The father-daughter duo have opened up about her mother in the Jelly Roll: Save Me<\/em> documentary in 2023 and during family interviews.<\/p>\n The \u201cSon of a Sinner\u201d artist met Felicia at a mutual friend\u2019s house while he was still selling drugs<\/a>. She eventually got pregnant with Bailee, but Jelly Roll was arrested and put behind bars while awaiting her arrival.<\/p>\n Felicia gave birth to Bailee on May 22, 2008, while Jelly Roll was still serving his sentence.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I lived an extremely selfish life until that moment,\u201d the Grammy-nominated artist said in his Hulu documentary of the moment he was told of his daughter\u2019s birth. \u201cI think it was the first time in my whole life that I thought about putting somebody in front of me. In that moment, I made a promise with her that I had to be there for her. It\u2019s almost like something clicked right then.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cWild Ones\u201d signer kept a cordial relationship with Felicia to ensure his involvement in Bailee\u2019s life. However, coparenting their daughter wasn\u2019t smooth sailing.<\/p>\n Felicia had custody of Bailee as a toddler due to Jelly Roll\u2019s state-hopping and developing music career.<\/p>\n \u201cBailee\u2019s mother made it hard on me at first. She made me go to court to even see her,\u201d he said in the documentary. \u201cI barely got to see her in the early years because I was traveling so much. I was a very less-than-present father. Not to mention, I was drinking myself to sleep every night.\u201d<\/p>\nWhen Did Jelly Roll Date Ex-Girlfriend Felicia?<\/h2>\n
