Wynonna Judd Opens Up About Raising Her 2-Year-Old Granddaughter
The country legend shared a glimpse into her personal life while cohosting TODAY with Jenna and Friends.
During her appearance on the talk show, the conversation that led Wynonna to open up about a topic she usually keeps private began when Jenna Bush Hagar asked the “Why Not Me” singer for her thoughts on the hit TV series Severance.

She admitted that watching television isn’t something she spends a lot of time doing. Instead, she dedicates her time to raising her 2-year-old granddaughter, Kaliyah.
“I don’t watch television unless it’s planned because I’m raising my 2-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter,” Wynonna said. “I listen to her.”
And when the Country Music Hall of Famer does manage some TV time, she says it’s usually something her granddaughter prefers to watch.
She shared that Kaliyah loves watching the popular YouTuber Ms. Rachel, who runs a channel filled with toddler learning videos. Peppa Pig also makes frequent appearances on their television.
“We watch all those shows, so I know about that, but I don’t know about Severance,” she adds. “That tells you where I’m at.”
It isn’t often that Wynonna speaks about her personal life. Kaliyah’s mother is Wynonna’s youngest daughter, Grace Pauline Kelley. However, Kelley has faced quite a bit of legal trouble in the past, including three arrests in 2024. This appears to have led Wynonna to step in and raise Kaliyah.
Grace Pauline Kelley’s most recent arrest occurred in October 2024, when she was accused of stealing a church van and trailer in Virginia. Just two months prior, she was taken into custody on three misdemeanor charges, including fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, driving with a suspended or revoked license, and improperly using motorcycle equipment.
Earlier in April, Kelley was arrested in Alabama on two charges. Those included indecent exposure and obstructing governmental operations.
