People<\/a>. TMZ was first to report the filing.<\/p>\nThe divorce news comes only months after Jelly Roll thanked Bunnie XO during an emotional Grammy Awards speech. In February, he won Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken and credited his wife and his faith with helping him survive the darkest parts of his life.<\/p>\n
Representatives for both stars did not immediately respond to People\u2019s requests for comment. Neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO has publicly explained the split.<\/p>\n
The Divorce Filing Came After a Very Public Grammy Moment<\/h2>\n
People reported that Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO appeared affectionate at the 2026 Grammy Awards, posing together and sharing kisses on the red carpet before his win.<\/p>\n
His acceptance speech made the later divorce news feel especially abrupt. People reported that Jelly Roll thanked his \u201cbeautiful wife\u201d from the stage and said he would not have changed his life without her.<\/p>\n
The Grammy moment fit the way the couple had often spoken about their relationship in public. They described the marriage as hard-won, unconventional and closely tied to Jelly Roll\u2019s transformation from struggling artist to mainstream country star.<\/p>\n
They Married in Las Vegas and Renewed Their Vows Years Later<\/h2>\n
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO met in 2015 at one of his shows at Las Vegas\u2019 Country Saloon, according to People. He proposed the next year while onstage in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The couple married the same night in a private courthouse ceremony without telling friends or family. They later returned to Las Vegas to renew their vows in 2023.<\/p>\n
Their relationship became part of Jelly Roll\u2019s public story as his music career grew. People reported that Bunnie embraced her role as stepmother to Jelly Roll\u2019s daughter Bailee and son Noah.<\/p>\n
The couple had also spoken publicly about hoping to have a child together through surrogacy. That made the divorce filing a striking turn for fans who had followed their family plans, Grammy appearances and public interviews over the past year.<\/p>\n
The Couple Had Already Talked About Hard Years<\/h2>\n
The filing follows a period in which both Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO had spoken openly about painful moments in their marriage.<\/p>\n
In February, People reported that Jelly Roll discussed how he and Bunnie had tried to heal after difficult times, including a 2018 split after Bunnie learned he had been having an affair. Jelly Roll previously called the affair one of the worst moments of his adulthood.<\/p>\n
Bunnie also wrote about that period in her 2026 memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic. People reported that she said she left Jelly Roll at the time, but later believed he deserved a second chance.<\/p>\n
Bunnie XO Posted Cryptic Messages Before the News Broke<\/h2>\n
Hours before news of the divorce filing became public, Bunnie XO shared several Instagram Stories that drew attention afterward.<\/p>\n
People reported that she posted a lingerie photo with the text, \u201cShe\u2019s getting her sparkle back,\u201d set to Metric\u2019s \u201cHelp I\u2019m Alive.\u201d She also shared a screenshot of a text message that read, \u201cCome here, let me show you what love feels like.\u201d<\/p>\n
Entertainment Weekly reported that Bunnie also posted a video of herself lip-synching to Nickelback\u2019s \u201cHow You Remind Me.\u201d The timing made the posts part of the breakup conversation, though Bunnie did not directly say they were about the divorce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
