Grace Kelley, Wynonna Judd’s daughter, opens up about the challenges of her childhood—here’s her story

A Childhood Behind Closed Doors
Grace Kelley, 28, Wynonna Judd’s daughter, recalls a childhood hidden behind fame and polish. Growing up in a famous family didn’t shield her from abuse. Instead, trauma and instability defined her early years. She says life was “swept under the rug,” with pain masked by silence and public image.

Life Between Facilities
In a July 2025 interview with The Daily Progress, Kelley revealed she lived in 14 different facilities between ages 12 and 17. She battled drug addiction, mental health struggles, and family dysfunction. “My story is so messed up,” she admitted. Though raised with church teachings in Tennessee, what happened at home rarely matched those values.

Fame Didn’t Protect Her
Kelley’s family was in the spotlight. Her mother and late grandmother, Naomi Judd, were Grammy-winning musicians and Country Music Hall of Fame members. Her aunt, Ashley Judd, achieved fame as an actress. Yet fame didn’t protect her from abuse at home. Kelley alleged her stepfather, D.R. Roach — Judd’s former husband and bodyguard — molested her as a child.
