Wynonna Judd: 'I am a mother first and foremost'

Country singer Wynonna Judd, 43, opens up to Ladies Home Journal, for the first time since her split with estranged husband D.R. Roach, 49. Since she filed for divorce from D.R.; Wynonna says she is trying to move on, focus on her children; Elijah, 13 and Grace, 11, from her first marriage to Arch Kelly III, and heal.

I am a mother first and foremost. I’m now focused on saving myself and the children. It is hard to detach overnight. I’m healing in my own time. And so I do wear my ring. And I think what I’m teaching my kids is, This happened. This is where Mom is right now. And there’s always hope.

To her fans, Wynonna had this to say,

If the fans are worried about me, don’t be. In this moment, this heartbeat, this breath, I’m okay. Everything’s not all right, but I’m all right with everything. And when you surrender – that’s where I live right now … in that serenity.

Wynonna filed for divorce soon after D.R. was arrested and indicted on three counts of aggravated sexual assault and battery against a minor under the age of 13.
