Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo in a shock split after nearly 10 years of marriage.
The rapper, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, submitted a divorce petition to a Tennessee court on 18 May, Us Weekly has confirmed.
The last time the two were seen together was during the Las Vegas stop on his tour in February.
Sources told TMZ that the pair’s decision to separate was “mutual”. They would have celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in August.
Jelly Roll originally met Bunnie Xo, real name Alisa DeFord, at one of his concerts in 2015 in Las Vegas. They tied the knot at the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in the same city on 31 August 2016.
The pair briefly split in 2018 after the Need a Favour singer had an affair. He later shared that cheating on his wife had been “one of the worst moments” of his life.
“I don’t talk about this publicly at all,” Jelly Roll admitted during an episode of the Human School podcast last year. “But one of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife.
“Because it was the first time that I was like, ‘I really can’t get this right at all. I know I’m in love with this woman.’ It just really, really, really blew me back.”
Bunnie Xo has been documenting the pair’s challenging and ongoing IVF journey on her podcast, Dumb Blonde.
