Jelly Roll Walks Kids’ Choice Awards Orange Carpet With His Two Kids
The “Halfway To Hell” singer and his two children arrived in style to the Kids’ Choice Awards orange carpet inside Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Styled by Krista Roser, Jelly Roll, his daughter and son donned matching blue jean ensembles.
Jelly Roll sported black pants paired with a white t-shirt under a blue and white paisley denim jacket. His daughter, Bailee, chose a denim vest and blue jeans adorned with slime green accents, and completed her look with matching earrings and a coordinating purse. Meanwhile, his son, Noah, wore ripped jeans with a matching denim jacket over a black t-shirt with a silver chain.
This isn’t the first time Jelly Roll’s daughter, Bailee, has accompanied the genre-bending superstar on the red carpet. In fact, she made her red carpet debut alongside her famous father and his wife, Bunnie XO, at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards earlier this year. However, this event marks his son Noah’s official red carpet debut.
Bunnie XO took to social media and declared that Jelly Roll shared a “Daddy date night!” with his kids at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024.

Jelly Roll’s daughter is often seen on he and his wife’s social media profiles, however, he chose to keep things more private with his son until recently in an effort to respect the privacy of Noah and his birth mother, Melisa.
Bailee Ann has joined Jelly Roll on stage for performances, has recorded a song with him, and frequently pops up in his TikTok and Instagram posts. Meanwhile, Noah Buddy hasn’t been seen much until Bunnie XO introduced him in a TikTok video exactly one year ago (with permission from Noah’s mother). Since that video was shared, Noah has appeared on Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s social media accounts several other times, and Jelly Roll has talked about his son in a few interviews.
“With Bailee, I’m the full-time parent—I’m the judge, the jury, and the executioner when it comes to decisions with her,” Jelly Roll recently shared while chatting with Evan Paul on the Taste of Country Nights podcast. “And it’s way more of a co-parenting… actually, it’s really way more of me just supporting [Melisa] when it comes to my son, so I try not to ever get in the way of what she’s building over there.”
In addition to Jelly Roll, many other celebrities attending the awards show also brought along their children, including Adam Sandler, Lil Baby, Kel Mitchell and more.
While walking the orange carpet, Jelly Roll also stopped to pose for photos with comedian/internet personality Hannah Stocking and America’s Got Talent judge/former Victoria’s Secret Angel Heidi Klum.
