American Idol: Who Are Kaylin Hedges’ Parents?
Kaylin Hedges was born to parents Hailey and Jeffrey Hedges. They have been her biggest fans and supporters since day one. However, her military father was largely absent from her life growing up. Still, she loves him to the moon and even dedicated her American Idol audition song “I’m Already There” to him.
“It’s just a song that explains everything that happened while we were apart like that,” she said at the time. “I just relate to it so much.”
Amazingly, after Kaylin wowed the judges, Katy Perry lined up a surprise video message from her dad. “I have nothing but pride and admiration for you, Dad. I know I’ve missed a lot of holidays, birthdays, and important events in my life because of you, but I just want you to know that wherever I am, I’m already there, so look around,” Jeffrey said before the camera panned to him walking onto the stage.
Kaylin then ran to him and hugged him emotionally. She also ran out of the room to call her mother, who had no idea her husband had made the trip.
The family of three reunited after a long time participating in American Idol season 23.
Meet Hailey Hedges, Kaylin Hedges’ mother
Hailey Hedges is the loving mother of Kaylin Hedges. She said she had no idea her husband had planned a surprise for their daughter, and that she is “still crying” about it.
She also looked back on the day and said that her favorite thing about the audition was that Katy Perry wished her kids would talk about her the way Kaylin talks about her parents. “That really made us realize that we were doing something right,” Hailey commented.
Overall, Hailey said her daughter was “a kind, humble, and good person.”
Hailey Hedges was born in January 1986. That means she is 37 years old in 2023.
Her maiden name is “Miller,” and she has an older sister named Savannah Lee Miller. As of 2023, Savannah lives in her hometown of Orlando, Florida with her husband, Rermite Ward (owner of Pro Tilt LLC).
Hailey Hedges is a Casting Assistant. She finally landed her dream job in July 2019 after years of trying to make it in the casting world. It was also the month she graduated from CSA’s Casting Assistant program. After graduating, she wrote on her FB, “I will work hard to advance and do my best, and I am so excited! Finding something you truly love is a true gift in itself and I am so grateful to have found it.”
Before starting her casting career, Hailey lived her life as a stay-at-home mom for 15 years. But she has no regrets about not starting her career sooner. “I’ve loved every minute of both adventures. I’m super, super excited to take on another adventure and show my daughter to never give up on yourself or your dreams,” she says.

Meet Jeffrey Hedges, Kaylin Hedges’ Father
Jeffrey Hedges is Kaylin Hedges’ father, who gave her the biggest surprise of her life.
After surprising her and also getting the Platinum Ticket to Hollywood together, Jeffrey said, “I was overwhelmed. I mean, it was amazing to see.”
Jeffrey Hedges was 39 when his daughter auditioned for American Idol in 2023.
This means he is 2 years older than Hailey and 24 years older than Kaylin.
Jeffrey Hedges is a military man. He has been a Senior Sergeant in the US Army for as long as Kaylin can remember. This is also why he cannot be with his daughter because he has to travel a lot.
The final order requiring him to move to Hawaii came in July 2020. This was also when he had to leave his family because Kaylins had just entered high school and they did not want to transfer her back to school while she was still in the middle of her studies.
“Being the wife and family of a military member can be difficult, it is definitely a sacrifice! I am so proud of my husband for all the sacrifices he makes! I am also proud of my children and the sacrifices they make every day,” Hailey praised her husband for his work,
