Country music artist Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, are heading for a divorce after nearly a decade of marriage. Court documents show that Jelly, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, filed for divorce from Alisa DeFord in Tennessee recently. The decision to separate was mutual and considered a private family matter.
TMZ reported that Jelly Roll and Bunnie are officially splitting up. The couple met in 2015, but their romantic relationship didn’t blossom until the following year. They quickly fell in love, getting married in August 2016, just a few months after they began dating.
Before their wedding, Jelly Roll, who already had a daughter with his ex-partner, welcomed a son with another woman. The couple did not have any children together and openly shared their journey with in vitro fertilization before their separation. Bunnie, 46, who had a previous career in the adult entertainment industry, stopped working in 2023.
Their relationship had its ups and downs over the years, with Bunnie acknowledging that they had broken up multiple times before reconciling. However, this time, their split seems final. The breakdown of their marriage coincides with Jelly Roll’s cancellation from headlining Kid Rock’s upcoming Rock the Country music festival in South Dakota.
The festival has encountered challenges with ticket sales, leading to concerns of potential cancellation. Kid Rock announced a 50% reduction in ticket prices on Instagram, with Staind replacing Jelly Roll on the lineup for the show on June 28.
Fans have speculated about Jelly Roll’s political leanings, especially after an Instagram post featuring him with Kristi Noem, known as ICE Barbie, circulated widely on social media. At the Grammy Awards, where he received three awards, Jelly Roll avoided discussing political matters when asked, prompting criticism from some fans suspecting his alignment with certain ideologies.
