Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are publicly discussing the end of their nearly 10-year marriage — and they’re doing it together.
Us Weekly confirmed on June 15, 2026, that Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie in Tennessee one month earlier, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Days later, the country star and the “Dumb Blonde” podcast host both broke their silence on the split, addressing everything from the Mother’s Day argument that triggered the filing to swirling rumors about new romances.

Jelly Roll Breaks Silence on His Divorce
During his Saratoga Springs, New York, tour stop on June 18, 2026, Jelly Roll told the crowd he wanted to set the record straight.
“I wasn’t going to talk about this tonight, but while we’re talking about liars… the internet is a liar,” Jelly Roll said at the time. “Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends. We just got off the phone earlier today. Nobody cheated on nobody. She just did a whole podcast about it. You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth.”
The singer ended his stage message by directly addressing his estranged wife, “Bunnie, I love you baby. Thank you for those 10 years. They were incredible. Thank you for the next 10 years of friendship and 20 beyond that.”
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo Broke Up After an Argument on Mother’s Day
On her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, Bunnie explained that she and Jelly Roll had a fight before the singer filed for divorce.
“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary,” she alleged in June 2026. “And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.’”
According to Bunnie, the couple stopped having difficult conversations over the past year and a half, which created a “recipe for disaster.”
“Was I blindsided? And was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual,” she said.
Bunnie Claims Jelly Roll Has Started Dating
While shutting down rumors that Jelly Roll is dating singer Jessie Murph, Bunnie confirmed that her estranged husband is back on the market.
“Daddy Roll is probably in his finest season. He looks so good. He is healthier than he’s ever been,” she said on her June 2026 podcast episode, referring to Jelly Roll’s 200-pound weight loss. “He’s even started dating, which is great. I love that.”
As for herself, Bunnie said she’s not interested in another relationship. “I’m sorry to break your heart, guys. I’m about to be a player.”
Bunnie Shuts Down Chad Kroeger Rumors
Elsewhere on her podcast, Bunnie addressed speculation that she is dating Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger after posting a throwback clip of him from a 2025 Las Vegas concert.
“I am not with Daddy Chaddy. There’s no f***ing way in hell that that would even be a thing. And no, I did not cheat on my husband and leave him for Chad, and like, none of that. Like, please,” she stated. “This is so wrong. I am not dating Chad Kroeger. I am so sorry to Chad and Nickelback for this happening. It’s embarrassing.”
Bunnie Xo Addresses Stepdaughter Bailee’s Reaction
Bunnie also spoke about Jelly Roll’s daughter, Bailee Ann, on her podcast in June 2026. (Bunnie helped raise Jelly Roll’s daughter, in addition to his son, both from previous relationships.)
“The only woman she has had consistently in her life, she feels, is being taken from her and it’s a weird transition that we’re gonna have to navigate,” Bunnie said of Bailee. “Of course she’s mad at me, because I was always the f***ing disciplining parent in the relationship because he’s f***ing fun dad all the time.”
She added, “That’s my baby. I love her. If she wants to be mad at me for f***ing two years, I’ll deal with it. But when she’s ready to come back, I will always be there for her.”
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll Still Plan to Have a Baby Together
Despite the divorce, Bunnie revealed she and Jelly Roll are continuing their IVF journey.
“You guys are going to be shocked to hear this but we’re still having a baby,” Bunnie said on her podcast in June 2026. “We’re still having a baby together, we’re going to coparent together. J has been so great about us still having a baby together and he wants the same thing. We’re just going to raise little Nugget as one big happy family.”
Jelly Roll’s ‘Divorce Vlog’ Plot Twist
On June 19, 2026, Jelly Roll posted a YouTube video titled “The Divorce Vlog,” in which he called Bunnie to plug her podcast episode.
“Yeah, y’all thought we were going to hate each other didn’t you?” Jelly Roll joked. “Plot twist, bitches!”
