On May 18, Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, citing irreconcilable differences. According to sources, their relationship had long been complex, and they found themselves increasingly out of sync with each other. Much speculation has surrounded the split, particularly as Bunnie Xo, born Alisa DeFord, has yet to make a formal statement regarding their separation.
In her recent TikTok video posted on June 17, Bunnie Xo sparked conversation by lip-syncing to Jelly Roll’s track “No Limit Freestyle” while dining with friends. Notably, the lyrics of the song directly reference her, and she concluded the clip with a provocative line that could hint at her emotional state. Her caption, “Podcast coming … 🤏🏼,” alongside the hashtag “#jellyandbunnie”, suggests that fans will soon gain insight into her perspective on the dissolution of their marriage.
Their marriage has been a topic of interest among fans and media alike. Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll exchanged vows on August 30, 2016, in a simple courthouse ceremony after a brief romance that began as a friendship in 2016. When they first met, both were at different points in their lives: Jelly was financially struggling, while Bunnie was working as a sex worker. The story of their relationship has been marked by significant turmoil, coupled with moments of resilience and growth.
Insiders close to the couple have noted that Jelly Roll’s recent success, including a remarkable health transformation where he lost nearly 300 pounds, has shifted the dynamic of their relationship. Sources indicate that his newfound focus on health and future aspirations contributed to a growing divide between the couple, even as they continue to care for one another. There has been no singular moment attributed to the breakdown of their marriage; rather, it appears to stem from a gradual realisation that they have different visions for their futures.
Throughout their relationship, both Bunnie and Jelly have been open about the challenges they faced, including Jelly’s admission of a 10-month affair in 2018, which caused a brief separation. In the couple’s journey towards reconciliation, they have voiced the importance of addressing their issues and have advocated for transparency in their struggles, even writing about their experiences in public forums.
In her memoir, “Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic,” released in 2026, Bunnie reflected on their tumultuous relationship, revealing personal details about their ups and downs. Their candidness about their relationship has resonated with fans, drawing attention to their IVF journey and their hopes to expand their family through surrogacy. Jelly is already a father to a daughter, Bailee, 18, and a son, Noah, 9, from previous relationships, which has added another layer of complexity to their endeavours.
As Bunnie prepares to potentially share her side of the story, it remains unclear how this new chapter of her life will unfold. Fans and followers are eagerly awaiting her podcast episode, hopeful for insights into her experience and the lessons learned during the course of her marriage to Jelly Roll. In the meantime, both individuals are navigating this difficult transition while reflecting on the time they spent together and the journeys ahead.
