Jelly Roll couldn’t help but get emotional after seeing the personalized present his son gave him on Father’s Day.

The “I Am Not Okay” singer has two children from prior relationships: 18-year-old Bailee Ann and 9-year-old Noah Buddy. He and his now-estranged wife, Bunnie Xo, raised Bailee for most of her childhood, while Noah is usually with his mother.

Out of respect for Noah and his mom, Jelly and Bunnie haven’t shared too much about him on social media. However, he has attended a few events with his dad in the past.

In February of this year (2026), Noah joined Jelly at the Los Angeles premiere of the animated film Goat. Jelly made his voice acting debut in the film, voicing a grizzly bear character appropriately named Grizz.

Jelly also recorded a song for the movie’s soundtrack, titled “I’m Good.”

When it came time to pick out a Father’s Day gift for his dad, Noah ended up referencing Goat. Jelly posted a picture of the present on his Instagram Story, which shows a Goat-themed plaque calling him the “BEST DAD EVER.”

The plaque also references another song from the movie’s soundtrack, “Roots Run Deep.”

Writing on top of the image, Jelly joked, “I’m not crying, you’re crying.”

Jelly Roll & Bunnie Xo Still Plan To Have A Baby After Their Divorce

Before Jelly Roll filed for divorce from his wife, Bunnie Xo, after nearly 10 years of marriage, the couple had been trying to grow their family. They’d gone through IVF and found a surrogate in the hopes of welcoming a child.

After news of the couple’s split, fans wondered what had become of those plans. Turns out, they’re still having a baby together.

Bunnie Xo confirmed this fact during a divorce-themed episode of her podcast, Dumb Blonde, which dropped on June 18th.

“We’re still having a baby, guys,” Bunnie said. “We’re still having a baby together. So, we have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered.

She added, “I’m so excited to live my life through a child’s eyes, which is why this baby journey, I’m not going to let it break me, and I’m not going to deter it. And J has been so f***ing great about us still having a baby together, and he wants the same thing. And we’re just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family.

Watch Bunnie speak about her and Jelly Roll’s plans to have a baby in the video below.
