Jelly Roll Admits 4-Day Food Binge as Divorce Stress Revives Addictive Mindset

Q: Amid divorce, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are pursuing IVF. What does this reveal about their future?

It suggests Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo do not see their divorce as the end of their family plans, but as a shift toward an unconventional co-parenting future. Both have said they still intend to have a baby through IVF despite separating. Bunnie Xo has said they are “still having a baby together” and plan to “raise little Nugget as one big happy family,” while Jelly Roll has described her as his “best friend” and said their bond remains deep even after the split. That points to a relationship moving from marriage to a cooperative parenting partnership rather than a complete break. Their IVF decision also shows that their shared goal of parenthood remains stronger than the collapse of the romantic relationship. The couple has spoken openly about a difficult fertility journey, including embryo losses and the emotional strain of treatment. Continuing with IVF in the middle of a divorce indicates that this is a long-term commitment they still view as central to their future. At the same time, it does not necessarily signal reconciliation. Publicly, both have framed the future as friendship, mutual respect and co-parenting, not a restart of the marriage. In practical terms, the clearest reading is that they expect to remain closely connected, emotionally and logistically, as they try to build a family outside a traditional marital structure.

Jelly Roll said he has been overeating for three or four days, describing a stress-fueled binge during his divorce from Bunnie Xo.
A single dairy-free skillet cookie set off the spiral, he said, leading to a taco-truck stop, a rest-stop candy search and about 2,000 extra calories in one day.
The singer said moderation does not work for him because the same all-or-nothing mindset behind past substance abuse also drives his relationship with food, turning one cheat meal into a possible five-day bender.
After losing 275 pounds from a peak above 500, Jelly Roll said obesity often reflects deeper mental-health struggles and that identifying triggers has become central to maintaining his progress.
The disclosure comes as he navigates a divorce filed in Tennessee on May 18, with the couple's separation dated May 9 after nearly 10 years of marriage.
