Jelly Roll, real name Jason DeFord, has filed for divorce from his wife of a decade, Bunnie Xo (Alisa DeFord). The two have presented an extremely happy front, even talking about their IVF journey. So, what went wrong? Keep reading for more details as to what went down.
Jelly Roll Ends Decade-Long Marriage
There have been ups and downs when it comes to Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s marriage. He had cheated in the past, and she struggled to forgive him. Yet, she did, and they have been raising his daughter, Bailee Ann, as well as co-parenting his son, Noah Buddy. Furthermore, she published a bestselling book, which Jelly was so proud of, but she also supported her husband in many ways. Bunnie was there when he won three Grammys in 2026, and she stood by him on his weight loss journey. The two renewed their vows and have pursued IVF in an attempt to have twins.
Unfortunately, it seems that their dreams have been shattered as Jelly filed for divorce from Bunnie. He did the filing back in May 2026 in Tennessee, where they reside, but it did not come out until now. As for why it was kept under lock and key is unknown. It appears that they both agreed to end the union, but are keeping this within the family. Jelly is currently on tour with Post Malone, but that was postponed by a month. Some felt that Jelly was the problem with the tour, and felt Posty should cut ties with the country superstar.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo got married in August 2016, but it is unclear if they had a prenup. She became immensely successful in her own right with her Dumb Blonde podcast. Therefore, she has her own money and assets.
