Jelly Roll files for divorce as ex says she 'stood by him through everything'

Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, citing irreconcilable differences. An insider called the decision a betrayal, saying Bunnie stood by him through everything — before the fame, the awards and his sold-out shows.

People close to the couple noticed growing tension as Jelly Roll embraced a more faith-centered lifestyle while Bunnie continued building an outspoken, provocative brand. The relationship also faced a 2018 separation after the singer had a months-long affair, and unresolved trust issues repeatedly resurfaced.

Hours before news of the filing, Bunnie posted a steamy photo in pink satin lingerie with the caption, "She's getting her sparkle back." The following day, a moving truck was seen outside their Tennessee home; it was unclear whose items were being moved. The pair secretly married in a Las Vegas courthouse in August 2016, a year after meeting at one of Jelly Roll's concerts, and renewed their vows in 2023.
