American country artist Jelly Roll and podcaster Bunnie Xo have decided to address the recent announcement of their divorce. During Jelly Roll’s performance at the Saratoga Springs, N.Y. stop of his Little ASS Shed Tour, he took a moment to confront the online rumors surrounding their separation. In a video shared on his Instagram, he assured the audience that he and his wife, Bunnie Xo, remain close friends despite the split.
While acknowledging previous statements about an extramarital affair, Jelly Roll emphasized that neither party was unfaithful in the relationship. He expressed gratitude for their “amazing” 10-year marriage. Meanwhile, Bunnie Xo, also known as Alisa Deford, discussed the divorce on her podcast, Dumb Blonde, revealing plans for an amicable co-parenting arrangement and the ongoing journey of conceiving a child through IVF.
The decision to divorce stemmed from a heated argument on Mother’s Day, during which Bunnie Xo urged Jelly Roll to file for divorce in a moment of frustration. This led to a period of separation before Jelly Roll eventually filed for divorce on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who wed in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023, do not share any children together, although Jelly Roll has two children from previous relationships.
Their public disclosures about relationship challenges, including Jelly Roll admitting to an affair in a podcast interview and Bunnie Xo mentioning their breakup in a TikTok post, shed light on the complexities of their personal journey. Despite the divorce, both parties have expressed a commitment to respectful co-parenting and maintaining their friendship moving forward.
