Bunnie Xo Confirms Jelly Roll Is Dating After May 9 Split as Divorce Ends 10-Year Marriage

Q: Bunnie Xo told him to file for divorce, so why does she now claim she was completely 'blindsided'?

She appears to mean she was blindsided not by the words said in anger, but by Jelly Roll treating them as a final decision and actually filing. On her podcast, Bunnie Xo said the divorce filing followed a heated Mother’s Day fight in which she told him to “file the f---ing divorce papers.” But she also said the filing was “not mutual,” that she had hoped for therapy, and that she did not expect him to move forward so quickly. In that sense, her claim is that she was shocked by his response, not unaware that divorce had been mentioned. That reading fits the broader context she described. She said their marriage had been under strain for roughly a year and a half, with communication problems worsened by a difficult IVF process that included three transfers and the loss of four embryos. She portrayed herself as the partner still trying to hold the relationship together, calling herself “the chaser” and “the glue.” Her public behavior also supports the idea that she did not think the marriage was ending immediately. Around the time Jelly Roll listed as the separation date, she was still posting affectionate family messages online and had recently spoken positively about their future plans. Those posts are hard to square with someone expecting a divorce filing days later. So the apparent contradiction is mostly about intent versus outcome: she says she threw out divorce in anger, but did not believe he had decided to end the marriage for real.

June 16 podcast remarks from Bunnie Xo confirmed Jelly Roll has started dating after their split, with Bunnie saying she is happy for him and focused on discovering herself single.
Bunnie said nobody cheated and the breakup came on the best possible terms, even as the divorce followed more than a year of poor communication and a Mother's Day 2026 falling-out.
May 18 court filings in Tennessee showed Jelly Roll sought divorce and listed May 9 as the separation date, ending a marriage that began in 2016 and was renewed in 2023.
The split follows a relationship marked by past strain, including Jelly Roll's admitted 2018 affair, though both had publicly described each other as best friends and committed co-parents.
