Jelly Roll, Bunnie Xo finalize divorce as daughter hints at hidden cause
Country singer Jelly Roll filed for divorce from podcaster Bunnie Xo in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18, 2026. The divorce was finalized on July 17, 2026 with a confidential settlement that included a lump‑sum payment and no alimony, and both parties have said the split is amicable.
The couple, married since 2016, said they will continue their IVF efforts to have a child together despite the separation. Legal experts note the rapid filing and settlement suggest the divorce was planned well before the petition was filed.
Jelly Roll’s 18‑year‑old daughter, Bailee Ann DeFord, posted a profanity‑filled TikTok live in which she denied any cheating, warned fans that the “internet will crumble” when she finally reveals the real reason for the divorce, and promised more details later. Bunnie Xo responded on Instagram and TikTok that there is “nothing to clear up,” calling the speculation a false narrative and reaffirming her love for Bailee.
Around the same time, Jelly Roll celebrated a personal fitness milestone by posting a video of a mountain hike set to his new single “Hands Up.” The story has been covered by multiple entertainment outlets, focusing on the private settlement, ongoing fertility plans, and the daughter’s cryptic remarks.
