In an interview, Wynonna revealed that her daughter, Kelley, severed all communication with her a year ago while battling severe substance addiction.

The 62-year-old musician expressed profound sorrow over the estrangement, explaining that her daughter’s meth dependency has fractured their mother-daughter relationship despite massive personal and financial efforts to intervene.

“Grace is my love, she is my daughter, and I love her dearly,” she said. “She’s got an addiction to meth, and it’s devastating.”

The singer recounted the painful moment she discovered her daughter was expecting another child through online video posts rather than a personal phone call. According to her, she learned the news on TikTok.

“I laid there, and I was shocked, just like you would imagine,” Wynonna revealed, noting that she wept at the realization that she had another grandchild. “I cried and cried and cried because I have another grandbaby,” she added.

Judd admitted to missing her daughter “desperately,” adding that she has tried all she could to do the right thing for Walker, but “meth is a b-tch.”
