Jelly Roll Files For Divorce From Bunnie Xo, Reports
on Jun 15, 2026
Jelly Roll has filed to end his marriage to Bunnie Xo, according to a new report.
TMZ was the first to report the news, saying that Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo (Alisa DeFord) in May, nearly 10 years after the couple said, “I do.”
PEOPLE confirmed the filing, and added that Jelly Roll filed the paperwork in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18.
The news comes as a surprise to fans, given the couple’s outspoken love for each other and their public displays of affection. As recently as February, Jelly Roll thanked his wife while accepting the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Country Album.
He told the crowd, “I want to thank my beautiful wife. 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.”
On May 3, the pair shared a video clip of them with Jelly’s daughter, Bailee Ann, ahead of her prom. That would be the last post either of them made together.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo were married in Las Vegas in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023.
