Jelly Roll Files for Divorce After Nearly 10 Years

Jelly Roll, legally known as Jason Bradley DeFord, has initiated divorce proceedings against his wife, Bunnie Xo (Alisa DeFord), in a Tennessee court on May 18th, 2026. This filing marks a surprising end to their nearly decade-long marriage, with their tenth anniversary approaching in August 2026. The couple first met at one of Jelly Roll's concerts in Las Vegas in 2015 and subsequently married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in the same city on August 31st, 2016.

Sources indicate the decision to separate was mutual, with the pair last seen together during a tour stop in Las Vegas in February 2026. This development follows a period where Bunnie Xo has been candidly sharing details about their challenging and ongoing IVF journey on her podcast, 'Dumb Blonde'. The couple previously experienced a brief split in 2018 when Jelly Roll admitted to having an affair, an event he later described as a deeply regretful moment.
