Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll File for Divorce After Nearly a Decade of Marriage
On May 18 2026, the marriage that began in a Las Vegas chapel on August 31 2016 was formally dissolved when Bunnie Xo, the host of the Dumb Blonde Podcast, and country‑musician Jelly Roll (Jason Bradley DeFord) filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee. The petition, filed by Jelly Roll, was confirmed by court records that E! News accessed and echoed by TMZ, People, Fox News, and WSMV.
The filing came three months after Xo released her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, on February 10 2026. The book traces their relationship from their first meeting in 2015 through the wedding and the challenges that followed, including a brief separation in 2018 when Jelly Roll admitted to an affair. Xo’s candid account paints a portrait of a partnership built on raw honesty and a spiritual bond that pulled them together despite their differences.
In the weeks that followed the memoir’s debut, Xo’s social‑media activity suggested she was processing the divorce. On June 15, she posted a TikTok video lip‑syncing Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me,” uploading it hours before news of the divorce broke. The clip includes lines that echo her own sense of betrayal: “It’s not like you to say ‘Sorry’ / I was waiting on a different story” and “This time, I’m mistaken / For handing you a heart worth breaking.” That same day, she shared an Instagram Story featuring a boudoir photo in which she is topless, holding a pink lace bra, captioned “She’s getting her sparkle back” and set to Metric’s “Help I’m Alive.” The timing of these posts led observers to view them as a public response to the filing.
The couple’s children—daughter Bailee, 18, and son Noah, 9—remain central to the narrative. No statements have been issued by either party’s representatives, and the proceedings are being handled privately in Williamson County.
Xo’s memoir details the early days of their romance, including living in a “brown van” filled with “condoms, crumbs and trash,” and emphasizes how their spiritual connection drew her to Jelly Roll. The book’s release, along with Xo’s recent media appearances, has kept the couple in the public eye, but the divorce filing marks the end of a nearly ten‑year marriage that began in Las Vegas.
As of now, the divorce is ongoing, with no further information disclosed by either side. The case remains a private matter, and the parties have not released any commentary on the reasons behind the separation.
The story has been reported by a range of outlets, from TMZ and People to Fox News, WSMV, and WCHTV. Court documents confirm the filing, and no additional details have emerged.
The divorce filing marks the conclusion of a high‑profile relationship that spanned from 2015 to 2026, a period punctuated by a brief split, a memoir, and a series of public social‑media posts. While the proceedings continue behind closed doors, the public can only follow the updates that the court and the parties choose to release.
The case remains a private matter, with no further details available at this time.
