Wynonna Judd is a country music superstar, but she is a mom above everything. The former member of The Judds shares her two children, Elijah and Grace Kelley, with her ex-husband Arch Kelley, and she’s opened up about parenthood in the past.
“I am a mother first and foremost,” she told Ladies Home Journal in 2007 when discussing her divorce from her first husband. “I’m now focused on saving myself and the children.

“Elijah could be a standup comedian, and he knows that he has pleased me with his sense of humor since he was born,” Naomi told the outlet at the time.
Wynonna has posted photos of her son to Instagram over the years, giving her followers a glimpse at how much he’d grown up. In 2017, the “I Saw the Light” singer shared pictures of Elijah proposing to his then-girlfriend, Hailey Williams. The couple got married in 2020.
