Wynonna JuddandAshley Juddhave each other’s backs.
While the sisters have been open about the upsAnd downs in their relationship over the years, they’re continuing to lean on each other for support following the death of their motherNaomi Judd. Wynonna and her husband recently shared that their grief brought them closer together.
“We both kind of look at each other like, ‘I’ve got you,’ right? And we look at each other and we say, ‘Yeah,'” the singer, 58, said on the Sept. 25 episode ofCBS Sunday Morning. “We’re so united right now. I think more so than we have been in a long time.”
Naomi, 76 years old, committed suicide in April. Ashley confirmed this in an April 30 interview.Instagrampost that she and her sister lost their “beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness.”
Wynonna looked back at the day Naomi died, describing what a blur it all was. “I got the call, and I went over, and I saw her, and I said goodbye to her in the hospital, and I closed her eyes, and I kissed her forehead and that was that,”She said. “And next thing I know, I’m sitting here on the side porch and I’m just trying to figure out what’s next.”
