Bunnie XO Said Noah Is “Twinsies” With His Dad Jelly Roll
Along with the reaction shared in the video, fans were quick to comment on Noah’s looks, charm, and personality. And Bunnie XO didn’t hesitate to reply with some sweet words of her own.
“Gosh, he looks like his dad!” One person captioned, to which Bunnie XO replied, “Twinsies!”
“He was so determined to say his full name! What does he call you?” Another person questions, with Bunnie XO inserting a smile and heart emoji into a response and confirming, “Bunnie.”
Noah’s Mom Approved His Participation
Another person recalled, “I remember when his bm (birth mom) didn’t want to bring Noah into the spotlight. I’m so happy for y’all! You’re a great bonus mom!”
Bunnie XO, then shared: “We asked, and she said it was OK. Always mama-approved first.”
As with Noah’s birth mom, Jelly Roll is primarily quiet on social media and publicly about Noah in respect of his mother. However, in 2016, Jelly Roll took to social media to share a post when Noah’s mom welcomed him into the world.
“Welcome to Earth,” he captioned a photo of his son, who weighed 9lbs 12oz, in the hospital nursery.
“God Bless this Child to be everything I am not! Noah Buddy DeFord! I pray he nor Bailee ever have to pay for their father’s sins,” Jelly Roll wrote at the time alongside a photo holding his son for the first time.
A few days after his son’s birth, he also shared a rare photo of himself with both of his children. In the picture, Jelly Roll holds baby Noah in his arms while Bailee Ann appears behind her dad.
“Family Time – Noah Buddy DeFord and Bailee Ann DeFord! She’s so happy to be a big sister! I’ve seen it all, and nothing compares to this!” Jelly Roll, who, according toThe Bobby Bones Show, has his son’s name tattooed above his eyebrow, wrote at the time.

On another rare occasion, Jelly Roll shared, on Instagram, two snapshots of himself backstage at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. In one picture, he appears hand-in-hand with Noah, while in the other, he carries his child in his arms as Noah joyfully smiles back at him.
“One thing I pride myself on is being rooted in family. You will almost always see me with my daughter, my wife, and my nieces. I’m very close with my brothers and cousins. I’m close with my sister. My Uncle and Aunts,” Jelly Roll begins in a message alongside the images taken in 2022. “This picture means the world to me because I don’t talk or post about my son very much, and that’s for respect of his mother and her privacy”
“This was taken backstage at the Ryman. He came to see his daddy perform for the first time at the hometown show. My entire family literally my WHOLE family came to that show,” he continued. “I’ll be posting a photo dump from that show soon. It was truly special.”
