Bunnie Xo made some cryptic Instagram posts hours before news broke that her husband Jelly Roll filed for divorce.
On Monday, June 15, Bunnie (real name: Alisa DeFord) posed in lingerie for her Instagram Story and included the intriguing caption, “She’s getting her sparkle back.” In a separate Story, she shared the quote, “Come here, let me show you what love feels like.”
The Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic author also posted a video of her lip-synching to Nickelback’s hit “How You Remind Me.” The music video for the 2001 alternative rock track features singer Chad Kroeger’s girlfriend literally disappearing from his life while the song itself is widely interpreted to be about a toxic relationship.
“I was sitting in the basement of my old house in 2000, having just got into a big argument with my girlfriend,” Kroeger, 51, revealed to Louder in December 2025. “So I guess I was feeling pretty jaded at the time. I wanted to write some lyrics that were a slap in the face to her. Even though I do say in the song that I love her, I kinda wanted to throw her a back-handed slap. So I was being very direct, and yelling into the microphone so that she could hear what I was saying.”
He went on, “I was shouting lines like ‘It’s not like you to say sorry’ and ‘This is how you remind me’ and I was trying to be nasty, trying to put in these really sarcastic lines. Then she opened the door, and she was like: ‘What’s that? I really like it’. So it kinda defeated the object of what I was doing.”
Us Weekly reported on Monday that Jelly Roll (real name: Jason Bradley DeFord), 41, quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie on May 18 in Tennessee.
Us reached out to representatives of both stars for comment.
Bunnie and Jelly Roll have gone through their share of ups and downs throughout their marriage. The “Son of a Sinner” singer welcomed his son Noah Buddy with ex Melisa Ann Cowell the same month he tied the knot with Bunnie in August 2016.

The former couple also opened up very publicly about rebuilding their marriage after Jelly Roll cheated several years ago.
“We didn’t know how to love each other properly,” Bunnie admitted to Us about her husband’s infidelity in February. “We both were raised in opposite households but weren’t taught how to love correctly. A lot of that gets brushed over [but] as a child, he wasn’t taught how to love properly and I wasn’t taught how to love or receive love.”
During an October 2025 episode of the “Human School” podcast, Jelly Roll described his infidelity as “one of the worst moments of my adulthood.”
Jelly Roll spoke out about wife Bunnie Xo‘s memoir, which featured surprise revelations about their marriage, his infidelity and their sex life, for the first time. “It was rough at times just for me to read it,” Jelly Roll, 41, told People on Tuesday, February 17, about Bunnie Xo’s Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic.

“I wish our story would’ve went in the way that it never had an affair. I’m proud of who we are today. I truly am,” he confessed.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie were most recently spotted together at the 2026 Grammy Awards in February, where they cuddled and showed PDA on the red carpet.
