Bunnie XO's Social Media Post
Following the news of their divorce, many fans revisited Bunnie XO's latest social media activity.

Many interpreted this as a reference to the divorce and her separation from the Grammy-winning artist.
History of Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO met in 2015 at the Las Vegas Country Saloon and married a year later in August 2016. They were just two months shy of celebrating their 10th anniversary. In 2023, the couple renewed their vows at the same chapel where they first wed.
The relationship faced challenges, including Jelly Roll's admission of infidelity in 2018. During an appearance on the Human School podcast, he expressed regret, saying, "I wish our story would've went in the way that it never had an affair, and I'm in way glad it happened, but man, I'm proud of who we are today, I truly am."
Bunnie XO also addressed the affair in her 2026 memoir Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic. In a conversation with PEOPLE, she shared, "A lot of people... are like, 'Why didn't you leave?' And I'm like, 'I did leave.' I did leave him and we were split for about 30 days, but I just loved that man so much that I just really, truly believe that he deserved a second chance."
As of now, neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO has publicly commented on the divorce filing.
