Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO have filed for divorce, according to court documents first reported by TMZ. The filing occurred on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, concluding a marriage that spanned nearly a decade. The decision has been characterized as mutual and a private family matter.
The couple plans to co-parent their two children, Bailee, 15, and Noah, 7, both from previous relationships. Neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO have issued public statements regarding the divorce proceedings.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO first met in 2015. They were married in a secret Las Vegas courthouse ceremony in August 2016, without informing friends or family at the time. They later renewed their vows at the same Las Vegas chapel in August 2023.
The relationship has faced challenges over the years. The couple reportedly separated in 2018 after Bunnie XO discovered Jelly Roll had been unfaithful, an episode she later detailed in her memoir, "Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic." Jelly Roll publicly acknowledged the affair in October 2025 on the Human School Podcast, referring to it as "one of the worst moments of his adulthood." Bunnie XO defended her decision to reconcile, stating it takes a strong woman to confront pain and rebuild with her partner.
In February 2026, Bunnie XO shared on Instagram her hopes of having twins via surrogate. Hours before the divorce news became public on June 15, she posted an Instagram photo with the caption, "She’s getting her sparkle back." At the 2026 Grammy Awards, Jelly Roll publicly credited Bunnie XO for her role in helping him transform his life.
Jelly Roll has achieved significant commercial success in country music over the past three years. His 2022 single “Son of a Sinner” topped Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, while “Need a Favor” led the Hot Country Songs chart in 2023. His album "Whitsitt Chapel" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2023, the same year he won the CMA Award for New Artist of the Year. He has received multiple Grammy nominations and collaborated with artists such as Lainey Wilson, Cardi B, and Tech N9ne. Bunnie XO is known as a podcaster and content creator, with her show "Dumb Blonde" having a notable following.
