Wynonna Judd has opened up about the profound impact her granddaughter, Kaliyah, has on her life. The 4-year-old, whom Judd affectionately calls 'Nonie,' travels with her on tour and shares a close bond with the singer.
Judd, 62, described Kaliyah as "fierce" and mentioned their shared activities on the road, including sleeping together and Kaliyah walking her to the stage. The toddler understands the distinction between her grandmother's public persona as 'Wynonna' when performing and her role as 'Nonie' at home.
Judd's daughter, Grace Kelley, welcomed Kaliyah in March 2022. Judd legally adopted Kaliyah while Grace faced legal difficulties. The singer also has two other grandchildren: Hazel, and another child Grace was expecting.
Previously, in January 2025, Judd discussed raising Kaliyah on "Today with Jenna & Friends," highlighting how her granddaughter's needs influence her daily life, including her media consumption. She is raising Kaliyah to be strong and grounded.
