Jelly Roll Files for Divorce From Wife Bunnie XO

The Tennessee court petition makes the split public and could bring increased scrutiny to the couple as they say they are handling the matter privately.

Overview

  • Jelly Roll submitted divorce papers in Williamson County, Tennessee on May 18, 2026, listing May 9, 2026 as the date of separation and citing "irreconcilable differences."
  • Neither the singer nor the podcaster has issued a joint statement and representatives have not publicly confirmed details while multiple outlets report the filing was a mutual decision being treated as a private family matter.
  • Since the filing, observers and outlets have pointed to public signals that suggested a breakup, including Bunnie XO’s cryptic social posts, Jelly Roll’s removal of a ring and changes to his social profile, and reports of movers at the couple’s home.
  • The split follows a nearly ten-year marriage that included a 2018 admitted affair, a 2023 vow renewal and public discussion of IVF efforts; the pair have no children together while Jelly Roll is father to two children from earlier relationships.
  • Next steps to watch include whether the couple files a negotiated asset-and-debt agreement in Williamson County and how the public disclosure may affect their careers, privacy and the couple’s children from prior relationships.
