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.”
