Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo.
The country star filed the paperwork on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, according to court records viewed by Fox News Digital.
Jelly Roll listed the date of separation as May 9, and cited irreconcilable differences.
Bunnie, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, and Jelly Roll tied the knot in August 2016 during a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony, after meeting the year prior.
Fox News Digital has reached out to representatives for Jelly Roll for comment.
She became a stepmom to the country singers daughter, Bailee, and son, Noah.
Just months prior, during the 2026 Grammys â which took place in February â Jelly Roll, 41, and Bunnie Xo, 46, showed PDA.
The couple were affectionate while walking the red carpet together as well as while inside the venue.
Jelly Roll also gave her a shoutout on stage after he won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Country Album.
Bunnie has previously opened up about their up-and-down relationship, in her memoir “Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic.”
The “Dumb Blonde” podcast host laid bare her chaotic upbringing and the emotional highs and lows that defined the early years of her relationship with the singer-songwriter.
Long before they became one of country musics closely watched couples, the pair weathered difficult truths â including the night Bunnie learned Jelly Roll’s ex-fling was waiting for him “in a hotel room down the street.”
“When I found out about it, I was devastated,” she told Fox News Digital in February. “I was hurt because I didnt think he would be the one person to do that. I thought he was different. And at that moment, my heart was broken. But instead of getting mad at him, I asked myself, Why do I keep attracting these kinds of men?”
Bunnie admitted she hadnt envisioned a conventional marriage.
“I think a lot of people need to realize that coming into this marriage, we werent a traditional bride and groom,” she explained.
“I was a working girl, and he was an ex-drug dealer â a gangster-turned-struggling artist. Theres a different set of rules on the street than there are in what Id call traditional marriages. If youve never lived that lifestyle, youre not going to understand. But of course, cheating is wrong across the board â it doesnt matter.”
In the memoir, Bunnie also recalled learning about the alleged ex-fling.
“Are you f—ing kidding me?” she wrote. “We had an agreement…. Folks started DM’ing me on social media, telling me that J was with his ex-fling. The pieces started to fit together, and it became easier to disconnect from him…. I went completely silent and didn’t reach out to J or answer any calls.”
Shortly after, Bunnie wrote, Jelly Roll released his 2018 album, “Waylon & Willie II.”
“Have you ever listened to those songs?” she wrote. “Go give it a listen, and you’ll clearly hear a man smack-dab in the middle of an affair, pouring his guilt into lyrics…. To this day, I still hate most of the songs on that album, and I can’t listen to it all the way through.”
Looking back, Bunnie told Fox News Digital there were many reasons her initial “fairy tale” had become a nightmare.
“Its not so much what was going on in our marriage,” she said. “It was more of my husband had a hard time letting go of the past. I had a hard time letting go of the past. We also didnt really think the relationship was going to work.
“I think a lot of it boiled down to self-worth on both parts. My husband didn’t think he’d ever meet a woman who really loved him for him and just wanted to see him succeed without some of them wanting to change him…. And I had brought so much baggage into the relationship.”
“I had come out of a really abusive relationship,” she reflected. “The first man I ever saw cheat was my father. So I just didnt really believe in traditional marriage at the same time eith
