Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are ending their marriage. According to divorce records obtained by People, the country music singer and the adult-content-creator-turned-podcaster are divorcing after 10 years of marriage. TMZ first reported the news.

According to the court records, Jelly Roll — real name: Jason DeFord — filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo, f.k.a. Alyssa DeFord, in May in Williamson County, Tennessee. Jelly Roll is originally from the Nashville suburb of Antioch, a rough-around-the-edges town that the former rapper has made a key component of his origin story.


A rep for Jelly Roll did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

Jelly Roll married Bunnie Xo in Las Vegas in the summer of 2016. In her recent memoir Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, she recounted their love story, including how they supported and accepted each other’s difficult pasts (Bunnie was candid about her past drug use, and Jelly Roll was in and out of jail on charges that included drug possession, dealing, and aggravated robbery).

“When you are with somebody for a long time, you are going to have to love them at their lowest. And I truly believe that true love is not about so much as accepting things that you shouldn’t, but I do think that everybody deserves a second chance,” Bunnie Xo told People earlier this year. “Loving somebody at their lowest is one of the most beautiful things you can do, especially if they bloom and they blossom like my husband has.”

In his acceptance speech upon winning Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken at the 2026 Grammy Awards in February, Jelly Roll thanked Bunnie Xo for saving his life. “I would have never change my life without you. I’d have ended up dead or in jail,” he said onstage. “I’d have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus.”

Frankie Grande Says Celine Dion ‘Peed’ Herself After Ariana’s TV Impression

It’s no secret Ariana Grande is very good at impressions. She has famously impersonated numerous fellow singers, including Britney Spears and Celine Dion, during appearances on shows like Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show. Her impression of Dion is so good, in fact, that the pop diva apparently laughed so hard at it that she “peed.”

Ariana’s brother Frankie Grande stopped by The Tonight Show last night to discuss his Broadway career and the Tonys, but also recounted meeting Dion right after his sister had mimicked her singing on The Tonight Show.

Taylor Swift reflected on her career and celebrated the craft of songwriting as she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Thursday, June 11, at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.

Swift began her speech by sharing that when asked by the institution who she wanted to have induct her, she named Steven Spielberg. Within an hour, the legendary director and his wife, actress Kate Capshaw, were on the phone with Swift; Spielberg said he would be “thrilled to be here.” Swift, who was “blown away” by his answer, asked if it would be difficult for him to attend the ceremony as his film, Disclosure Day, was releasing at midnight on the same day. That’s when Capshaw responded with words of wisdom Swift will never forget: “Good and true things are easy.”

Lil Wayne Wins $29,225 Judgment Against Security Guard Who Claimed Rapper Struck Him

A judge has ordered a security guard and his lawyer to pay Lil Wayne $29,225, plus the Grammy-winning musician’s legal fees, after their lawsuit accusing the “Lollipop” rapper of striking the man while holding a gun was thrown out.

According to a judgment signed Wednesday and obtained by Rolling Stone, plaintiff Christian Carlos and his lawyer are jointly liable for the monetary sanctions and legal costs after the court ruled in April that they repeatedly disobeyed orders. The judge subsequently terminated the lawsuit and scrapped a trial set for August.
