American country singer Jelly Roll and podcaster Bunnie Xo have spoken out about their recent divorce. During a performance in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Jelly Roll addressed rumors about their separation, emphasizing that he and his wife remain close friends despite the split. He clarified that there was no infidelity involved, despite his previous admission of an affair.
Bunnie Xo, also known as Alisa Deford, discussed the divorce on her podcast, stating that they aim to resolve it amicably and continue co-parenting. Surprisingly, she revealed that they are still expecting a baby through IVF, highlighting their commitment to parenthood despite the marriage ending.
The decision to divorce stemmed from a heated argument on Mother’s Day, where Bunnie Xo impulsively suggested filing for divorce before leaving, leading to Jelly Roll initiating the process. Although it was a unilateral decision, it prompted them to have crucial conversations that were long overdue.
The divorce was officially filed by Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023, do not have children together, although Jelly Roll has children from a previous relationship.
Both Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo have been candid about their relationship struggles in the past, with Jelly Roll acknowledging his past affair as a regrettable moment in his life, while Bunnie Xo disclosed their breakup in 2018 in a TikTok post.
