Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO: A 10-Year Marriage Ends in Divorce Filing

Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, has filed for divorce from his wife, Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, after nearly a decade of marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in August 2016, is set to mark their 10-year wedding anniversary in just two months. The news of their divorce has come as a shock to their fans, as the couple had been quite open about their relationship and the efforts they had been making to start a family together.

According to court records from Williamson County, Tennessee, Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18. The divorce filing comes as a surprise, given that the couple had been working on expanding their family. In her February 2026 memoir, 'Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic,' Bunnie XO wrote about their efforts to welcome a child via surrogacy, with the hope of having twins. The couple had also been open about their struggles with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and their desire to have a child together.

In June 2024, Bunnie XO took to Instagram to share the news that they were trying IVF, stating that they had not initially planned to add to their family but had a change of heart. Jelly Roll has two children from previous relationships, Bailee Ann, 18, and Noah Buddy, 9, and Bunnie XO has often spoken about being a proud stepmother to them. Despite their efforts to start a family, it appears that their relationship has come to an end.

Jelly Roll had previously faced backlash on social media after revealing that he had cheated on his wife in the past. In a 2025 interview on the 'Human School' podcast, he spoke about the affair and the work he had done to repair his relationship with Bunnie XO. The incident sparked a heated debate on social media, with some criticizing Bunnie XO for staying with him. However, she defended her decision, stating that it takes a stronger woman to face pain and rebuild a relationship rather than running away or gossiping.

The news of their divorce has left fans reeling, as the couple had been considered one of the most stable and loving relationships in the entertainment industry. Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO had been known for their open and honest discussions about their relationship, and their fans had grown to admire and respect them for it. As the couple moves forward with their divorce, it remains to be seen how they will navigate their individual careers and personal lives.

The divorce filing also raises questions about the future of their respective careers. Jelly Roll, known for his hit song 'Need a Favor,' has been making waves in the music industry, while Bunnie XO has been hosting her popular 'Dumb Blonde Podcast.' As they go their separate ways, it will be interesting to see how they will continue to pursue their passions and interests. For now, it's clear that their 10-year marriage has come to an end, and they will be embarking on a new chapter in their lives.
