Overview
- Court records show Jason "Jelly Roll" DeFord quietly filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee on May 18, 2026 and listed May 9, 2026 as the date of separation.
- The filing cites "irreconcilable differences," and TMZ reported that unnamed sources described the decision as mutual and being handled as a private family matter.
- Reporters and fans pointed to public signals before coverage surfaced, including cryptic social posts from Bunnie XO, Jelly Roll appearing without his wedding ring, and a moving truck seen outside their Tennessee home.
- The couple have publicly discussed IVF and surrogacy efforts in recent years, and Bunnie XO’s 2026 memoir says they had identified a potential surrogate, a detail that adds personal stakes for their family arrangements and stepchildren.
- Court documents and reporting say the pair plan to file an agreement to divide assets and debts as the legal process continues, and neither has issued a full public statement about the split.
