Are Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo heading for divorce? What we know after 10 years together

I would love to tell you this was just a messy rumor cycle, but it is not. Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo — the rough-edged, ride-or-die pair who went from van life and hustle to trophies and arena lights — are calling it. And yes, it is official, not fan fiction.

So, are they actually splitting?

They are. Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee, using their legal names, Jason DeFord and Alisa DeFord. The paperwork hit Williamson County on May 18, 2026. TMZ dug it up first, and the filing lines up with Tennessee court records, so this is the real deal. People around them are calling it a mutual decision and a private family matter. On top of that, there were reports of moving trucks outside their Tennessee place — which, fair or not, always throws gasoline on the fire. Once the court docs surfaced, other outlets picked it up fast.

'She’s getting her sparkle back.'

Bunnie posted that on Instagram just hours before the divorce news broke, and fans immediately started reading tea leaves. The timing did not help the whiplash.

Why this hurts more than the usual celebrity split

Only a few months ago at the 2026 Grammys, Jelly got emotional on stage and credited Bunnie for changing his life and standing by him as everything took off. The two had also been open about trying to expand their family via surrogacy. Between the public gratitude tour and the family plans, a divorce filing this soon after is... jarring.

The hard chapter they already survived

If you have followed them for a while, you know their story was never polished. Back in 2018, Bunnie said she discovered Jelly had been in a 10-month affair. That blew up their marriage — loud fights, a split, and Bunnie moving back to Las Vegas. They eventually chose to rebuild, and were incredibly honest about the process: therapy, accountability, the works. That transparency turned them into a lot of people’s favorite imperfect love story, which makes this ending land even heavier.

The quick version

• They built a relationship that started when he was grinding from a van and she believed in him long before the fame. Nearly a decade of marriage followed.
• 2018: Bunnie said she uncovered a 10-month affair. They separated, she moved back to Las Vegas, and they later reconciled after therapy and a lot of work.
• Early 2026: Jelly thanked Bunnie on the Grammy stage, crediting her with turning his life around.
• Recently: They publicly discussed plans to grow their family via surrogacy.
• May 18, 2026: Jelly filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, under their legal names, Jason and Alisa DeFord.
• June 16, 2026: TMZ’s report made the filing public; other outlets echoed it. Sources called it a mutual decision and a private matter.
• Also June: Bunnie posted 'She’s getting her sparkle back' on Instagram hours before the news broke; moving trucks were reportedly seen at their Tennessee home.

It is tough to see a couple who wore their scars in the open come to this. If there is any silver lining, it is that they have always tried to handle their mess like adults — even when the internet was rubbernecking. For now, the paperwork says what it says, and the rest is up to them.
