AceShowbiz - Jelly Roll spoke out publicly about his divorce from Bunnie Xo during a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York, on Thursday night, directly confronting the swirling rumors. He denied any cheating in their split and emphasized that they remain best friends despite ending their marriage.
The pair, who were married in a Las Vegas chapel in 2016, finalized their divorce in May after nearly a decade together. The separation followed a period of communication struggles lasting about a year and a half, culminating in a tense argument on Mother’s Day 2024 when Bunnie urged Jelly Roll to file for divorce, which he did. Both have maintained that the breakup was amicable and that they continue to support one another personally and in their plans to have a child together.
During the concert, Jelly Roll referred fans to Bunnie Xo’s recent Dumb Blonde podcast episode for an honest account of their situation and clarified that this would be the only occasion he publicly addressed the matter. He acknowledged Bunnie’s crucial role in his life, including her financial backing during his early career struggles, and expressed gratitude for their enduring friendship.
Jelly Roll is best known for his 2023 single "Need a Favor" and has built a career as a singer and songwriter rooted in his Tennessee origins. His marriage to Bunnie Xo, who left the sex work industry in 2019 to launch her podcast, was marked by mutual support—she helped with his 2017 album and custody arrangements for his daughter Bailee. The couple share plans to continue their family journey despite the divorce.
This development highlights a rare example of a high-profile musical couple navigating separation while maintaining a close bond and shared goals. Their openness about the challenges surrounding IVF and personal struggles adds a candid layer to their story, moving beyond typical divorce narratives to emphasize friendship and mutual respect amid change.
