Jelly Roll is sharing his side of the story after filing for divorce from wife Bunnie Xo.
News broke on Monday, June 15, that Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo (real name Alisa Andrea Carter) after nearly 10 years of marriage. The pair do not share any children.
Jelly Roll, for his part, became a father when he welcomed daughter Bailee Ann with ex-girlfriend Felicia Beckwith in 2008 while he was serving a prison sentence for a drug dealing conviction. He went on to welcome son Noah Buddy with ex Melisa Ann Cowell in August 2016, the same month in which he tied the knot with Bunnie Xo.
Ahead of the split, Bunnie Xo clapped back at speculation that the pair were struggling in their marriage.
“Someone said the other day, ‘They used to always be together, and now you never see them together,’” she said on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast in August 2025. “I’m like, ‘Do you guys not know that for the past six months [that] I’ve been trying to make a baby?’”
In June 2026, court documents obtained by Us Weekly shared some insight into Jelly Roll’s split from Bunnie Xo. Us Weekly reached out to their lawyers for comment.
