“Jelly Roll Files for Divorce from Bunnie Xo After Nearly 10 Years of Marriage” – Shock Twist After Emotional Grammy Moment

A shocking turn in one of country music’s most talked-about love stories — Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo after nearly a decade together.

The country star, 41, officially filed in Williamson County, Tennessee on May 18, according to court records. TMZ was first to report the news.

The split comes as a surprise to fans, especially as the couple had frequently shared their love story publicly and were still appearing affectionate on major red carpets earlier this year.

At the 2026 Grammy Awards, Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) emotionally thanked Bunnie during his acceptance speech after winning Best Contemporary Country Album, crediting her with helping transform his life.

“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.”

The couple’s relationship began in 2015 after meeting at one of Jelly Roll’s concerts in Las Vegas. After a year of dating, he proposed on stage in 2016, and they later secretly married in a courthouse ceremony the same night.

In 2023, they returned to renew their vows, marking what appeared to be a strong and lasting bond despite past challenges.

However, their marriage has not been without difficulties. Jelly Roll previously admitted to an early affair, calling it one of the darkest periods of his life. Bunnie later addressed the situation in her memoir Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, revealing the emotional toll and how she briefly walked away before giving the relationship a second chance.

Despite their struggles, both have often spoken about love, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust over the years.

In recent months, the couple had also been open about their hopes of expanding their family through IVF and surrogacy, even revealing plans to welcome twins.

Now, the unexpected divorce filing has left fans questioning what really happened behind the scenes of their once deeply emotional love story.
