Grammy-winning singer Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, has filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo after nearly a decade of marriage, surprising many fans who believed the couple were stronger than ever. The pair married in August 2016 after meeting during one of Jelly Roll\u2019s early performances, long before his rise to mainstream fame. Their relationship became known for honesty, humor, and openly sharing both their struggles and successes. However, court documents revealed that they officially separated on May 9, with Jelly Roll filing divorce papers in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18. The news came shortly after the couple appeared happy together at major events, leaving fans shocked. Around the same time, Jelly Roll revealed he had been hospitalized due to a serious sinus infection while touring with Post Malone, who supported him during his recovery. Despite the timing, neither has publicly blamed the other for the end of their marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout their relationship, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo faced challenges, including past infidelity that the singer openly admitted to and described as one of the hardest moments of his life. The couple previously worked through the betrayal and even renewed their vows in 2023, showing fans that they were committed to rebuilding their bond. After their split, Bunnie explained on her Dumb Blonde podcast that there was no cheating involved this time and said they remain best friends who still care deeply for each other. She revealed they are even continuing plans to welcome a child through surrogacy. Bunnie emphasized that their relationship simply reached a point where they had \u201cserved their purpose\u201d for each other. Though their marriage is ending, both stars appear focused on moving forward with respect, love, and a commitment to their family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
