Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from wife Bunnie XO, according to a new report.
Court documents obtained by TMZ, revealed that the singer – real name Jason Bradley DeFord – filed for divorce in May in Tennessee.
According to a source close to the couple, the divorce was a ‘mutual decision’ and a ‘private family matter’.
The pair first met in 2015 and tied the knot the following year.
In 2023, they renewed their vows at the same Las Vegas chapel as they said their original ‘I dos’.

The couple attended the 2026 Grammy Awards back in February, where the singer won the award for Best Contemporary Country Album and thanked his wife in his speech.
“I want to thank my beautiful wife,” he said.
“I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus. I thank you for that.”
During their almost decade-long marriage, Bunnie – real name Alisa DeFord has co-parented Jelly Roll’s two children, daughter Bailee Ann, 18, and son Noah Buddy, 9, both from previous relationships.
The couple have always been incredibly candid about their ups and downs in their relationship, with Jelly Roll opening up about his past infidelity and how he put in a ‘lot of work’ to get things back on track.
“I don’t talk about this publicly at all, but one of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife,” he said during an appearance on the Human School podcast in October.
“Because it was the first time that I was like, ‘I really can’t get this right at all. I know I’m in love with this woman.’ It just really, really, really blew me back.”
He went on to say that they were now ‘stronger’ than before, adding: “And I wish our story would have went in the way that it never had an affair. And I’m in no way glad it happened, but man, I’m proud of who we are today.”
As yet, neither Jelly Roll or Bunnie has publicly commented on the news.
