Wynonna Judd's Daughter Denied Birth Release
28 Aug
Summary
- Grace Kelley's request for temporary prison release to give birth was denied.
- Kelley was expecting her second child around August 16, 2026.
- She is currently serving a 15-month sentence in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Grace Kelley, the daughter of country music star Wynonna Judd, was denied a request for temporary release from prison to give birth. A judge ruled against her plea for a scheduled C-section, which was expected around August 16, 2026.
Kelley is currently serving a 15-month sentence in Harrisonburg, Virginia, after pleading guilty to driving with a suspended license in October 2025. Her legal team had argued for her release, citing potential complications and the father's inability to be present for the birth if she remained incarcerated.
This is not Kelley's first encounter with legal troubles. She previously served time for a drug offense and has had multiple arrests in recent years, including charges of indecent exposure and soliciting prostitution in April 2024. Kelley had expressed being "at peace" with her past in an August 2025 interview.
Wynonna Judd has not commented on her daughter's situation but has spoken about raising her granddaughter, Kaliyah, born in 2022. Judd has found solace and purpose in caring for her grandchild following the death of her mother, Naomi Judd, in 2022.
