Fresh off his American Idol win, Jamal Roberts is already making headlines again—only this time, it’s not for a show-stopping performance or a glitzy red carpet moment. Instead, the 27-year-old fan favorite gave fans a rare and deeply personal look into his life as a father during a Facebook Live session that had hearts melting across social media.
Cradling his baby daughter in one arm and flashing that signature Southern charm, Roberts shared snippets of dad life that ranged from laugh-out-loud funny to quietly profound. He joked about how his baby girl insists on being held a certain way and teased that she’s already “greedier than the other two” when it comes to feedings. The livestream, which happened just in time for Father’s Day, felt less like a celebrity Q&A and more like catching up with an old friend—one who just happens to have a golden voice and a million-dollar record deal.
A Request for Grace from Fans
But in between diaper jokes and giggles, the tone shifted.
“There’s a lot of love out there, and I appreciate it,” Roberts said sincerely, “but if you see me with my kids, just give me a little grace. That’s all I ask.”
He explained how overwhelming it can be when fans swarm him while he’s simply trying to enjoy a moment with his children—even with security nearby. His message was simple: respect the man behind the music, especially when he’s in dad mode.
Hinting at New Music and a Love Letter to Mississippi
While Roberts kept most of the conversation focused on family, he couldn’t resist dropping a bombshell that instantly lit up the comments section: new music is on the way, and it’s coming this Sunday.
“I think I want to dedicate it to Mississippi,” he said, with a smile that said more than words ever could.
Though he didn’t reveal the title or give away too many details, it’s clear the track will be close to his heart—and fans from his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi are already buzzing with anticipation.
Clearing the Air on Carrie Underwood Rumors
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Jamal Roberts livestream without addressing the headlines. He didn’t dodge the topic when asked about the rumored tension between him and American Idol judge Carrie Underwood.
“Carrie is a country singer,” he said, cool and composed. “She had her picks and stuck with who she liked. But we respect that—and I feel like the better person won.”
It was a subtle but powerful statement—one that spoke volumes without stirring up drama.
A Star Who’s Still Grounded
Roberts’ livestream wasn’t just a check-in—it was a masterclass in how to be famous without losing touch. He showed fans he’s not just a performer. He’s a father who loves his kids, a proud son of Mississippi, and a man still adjusting to life under the spotlight—with humility and heart.
With new music on the horizon, a BET Awards moment that stole the show, and a grounded attitude that’s winning over even more fans, Jamal Roberts is proving that he’s here for the long haul—and he’s doing it on his own terms.
