Country music legend Wynonna Judd provides a rare glimpse into her life as a grandmother, raising her two-year-old granddaughter Kaliyah while navigating her daughter Grace Kelley's ongoing legal issues. Judd prioritizes quality time with Kaliyah, minimizing electronic distractions and embracing a simple life on a farm.
Country music legend Wynonna Judd is giving fans a glimpse into her special bond with her young granddaughter, Kaliyah . While the 60-year-old singer typically keeps her personal life private, she recently opened up about raising the two-year-old during an appearance as a guest host on the Today Show. Judd, whose mother Naomi Judd tragically died by suicide in April 2022, has taken on the role of caregiver for Kaliyah amid her daughter Grace Kelley 's ongoing legal troubles .
Kelley has faced a series of arrests in 2024, including charges of soliciting prostitution and allegedly stealing a church van during a 'heroin-fueled rampage.' During her chat with Today host Jenna Bush Hager, Judd revealed her efforts to minimize electronic distractions when spending quality time with Kaliyah. She shared, 'I don’t have a computer,' and 'I don’t watch television unless it’s planned 'cause I’m raising my 2½-year-old granddaughter. I listen to her.' This dedication to being present extends to limiting her social media use and enforcing a no-phones rule at the dinner table. However, there's one exception: Kaliyah's absolute love for YouTube star Ms. Rachel. Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Accurso, creates popular children's music videos on the platform titled 'Songs For Littles.' Judd, jokingly admitting to being on the verge of 'losing her mind' from the constant exposure to children's music, praised Ms. Rachel's dedication and the joy her videos bring to young viewers. While acknowledging her admiration for Ms. Rachel's talent, Judd confessed, 'I just can’t talk like that. I wish I could be that animated, but I just don’t know how.' She added, 'My life on the farm is simple and sweet, which is what we need more of.' Judd's intentional lifestyle choices reflect a desire for a more grounded existence after years of touring. She admitted, 'I do what I have to do to learn how to just live off the road,' explaining that she began touring at the age of 17 and never had the opportunity to experience life outside of show business. 'Food, family and fun is my goal,' she shared with a sense of contentment.Judd's decision to live on a farm and prioritize simple pleasures is partly driven by a need for stability after navigating the challenges of fame and her family's recent struggles. Grace's legal issues have been a constant source of worry for Judd. Grace gave birth to Kaliyah during a leave of absence from jail after an arrest for violating her parole and breaching a restraining order in May 2023. While she was granted a short leave to give birth, she had to return to prison to complete her sentence. In April 2024, Grace was arrested in Alabama for allegedly exposing her breasts and 'lower body' while walking along a busy highway. She initially faced two misdemeanor charges, indecent exposure and obstructing government operations, but a third charge of soliciting prostitution was added later that month. Kelley was arrested again in August for allegedly stealing a pastor's van in rural Virginia.
