Because of this, he spent much of his early life living with his grandmother. It was there that he met Katie Bell Henderson, a Black woman who became a steady and caring presence in his life. Bayless has said that she helped raise him, offering guidance, discipline, and emotional support during a time when his own parents were unable to fully provide it.
