Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo Continue Baby Plans Amid Divorce

Country singer Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) filed for divorce from podcast host Bunnie Xo (Alisa DeFord) in May 2026 after nearly ten years of marriage. Both addressed the split publicly in June 2026. At a Saratoga Springs concert, Jelly Roll told fans that he and his estranged wife remain "best friends" and denied any infidelity, saying, "Nobody cheated on nobody." He also confirmed he has started seeing other people.

Bunnie Xo used her "Dumb Blonde" podcast to shut down rumors that she was dating Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and to denounce speculation that Jelly Roll was involved with 21‑year‑old singer Jessi Murph. She affirmed that the couple will still have a baby together, continuing their IVF efforts despite the divorce, and encouraged others to "shoot your shot" with the singer if interested. The couple has discussed co‑parenting the child, and Jelly Roll noted he already has two children from previous relationships.

Both have reiterated that the separation is not mutually amicable, but they intend to remain supportive friends and pursue a shared plan for a new child.
