Country music star Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo, bringing an unexpected end to their decade-long marriage, according to reports from TMZ.
The filing, reportedly submitted on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, has shocked fans who closely followed the couple’s public journey and often celebrated their strong bond.
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, and Bunnie Xo, born Alisa DeFord, were widely regarded as one of country music’s most supportive couples. Their relationship had been marked by frequent public displays of affection and emotional tributes.
The singer recently thanked Bunnie during an awards acceptance speech, crediting her with helping transform his life and supporting him through personal struggles. His remarks were widely shared by fans who admired their connection.
The couple first met in 2015 at a concert in Las Vegas and married the following year. Over time, they became known for openly discussing their relationship challenges and growth, including fertility plans and their shared desire to expand their family.
In 2023, they renewed their wedding vows at the same venue where they were originally married, a moment that reinforced their commitment at the time.
Despite past expressions of love and unity, the relationship has now reportedly reached a breaking point. Neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie Xo has issued a detailed public statement regarding the divorce at this stage.
The news comes as a surprise to fans who had recently seen the couple together at high-profile events, including the Grammy Awards.
