Jelly Roll's son is making a name for himself on TikTok with his first solo video.

In a video posted to his stepmom Bunnie XO's TikTok account on Saturday, June 1, Noah, 7, presented himself to the world amid a little bit of stage fright.

Bunnie XO, 44, introduced Noah quickly before stepping out of the way. "Hey guys, can you watch my bonus son really quick? Thank you!" she said.

Noah stepped up to the camera, wearing a Pokémon shirt. "Hello," he said with a timid wave and a sweet smile. After a significant pause, he continued: "My name is Noah and...."

"But can you take it easy on me?" he implored with another smile and a little laugh.

"My heart," Bunnie XO wrote over the video of her stepson looking into the lens before asking him off-camera, "How'd it go?"

"Uhhhh I froze for a minute," the little boy admitted as he backed away from the camera and the podcaster came back into the frame, thanking her followers for virtually babysitting.

"He asked to do a video so this is what we did 🤣 What a qt pie 🤍 #meetthedefords," the "Wild One's singer's wife captioned the video.

In reply to a comment on the video that said Noah stole the internet's heart, she replied, "Flat out burglary."

Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll, 39, keep Noah largely out of the spotlight. Apart from his birth announcement on Facebook in 2016, Noah has only ever appeared in one other post — a 2023 TikTok video in which his stepmom interviewed him.

"My name is Noah and my favorite color is red,” he said in the first video, by way of introducing himself to the world.

He also hilariously admitted that his favorite "sport" was Pokémon (and soccer) before confessing that at the moment, his "favorite" person was his big sister Bailee Ann over his dad.
