Jelly Roll Files for Divorce, Couple Say They Remain Best Friends

A rapid, publicly managed settlement and a shared IVF plan highlight how fertility struggles and communication breakdowns shaped the split.

Overview

  • Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18 after the couple say they separated on May 9, according to court records and multiple reports.
  • Bunnie Xo told listeners on her Dumb Blonde podcast that a heated argument on Mother’s Day prompted her to tell Jelly Roll to “file the f***ing divorce papers,” and she described months of poor communication before the filing.
  • Both have publicly denied any recent infidelity, with Jelly Roll repeating onstage that “nobody cheated on nobody” and using a vlog call with Bunnie to present the split as amicable.
  • The pair say they reached a fast settlement and divided assets within weeks, with Bunnie reporting she will move into the Tennessee compound and photographers spotting moving trucks near the home, though full court confirmations are limited.
  • Despite the legal split, they plan to continue IVF and co-parenting after an emotionally draining fertility journey that included three transfers and the loss of four embryos, a strain they say contributed to the marriage ending.
