Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO Split Months After Discussing Plans to Grow Their Family
Jelly Roll’s rise to fame felt meteoric; the interest in his marriage to Bunnie XO felt just as intense. While the couple seemed happy to share their love with the world, they might be more interested in keeping things quiet as they navigate a split. It is official: Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from Bunnie XO. While they are keeping things quiet, we do have some details. Still, fans can’t wrap their head around the pair breaking up just months after discussing IVF and surrogacy.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce last month
Jelly Roll has talked openly and candidly about the messiness of his marriage to Bunnie XO. She has done the same. The couple frequently split and got back together, despite remaining legally wed. While they’ve broken up more than once, things seem much more serious this time. This time, Jelly Roll, whose legal name is Jason Bradley DeFord, has taken legal steps to dissolve the union.
According to TMZ, the country rapper filed divorce paperwork in Tennessee on May 18. He listed the date of separation as May 9 and cited irreconcilable differences. The standard language and secrecy have led to much speculation over what went wrong between the pair who wed a decade ago.
What makes the filing especially jarring is how forward-looking the couple appeared just months earlier. They were planning to start a family and had revealed they were trying to conceive through IVF. In February, she said surrogacy was on the table and seemed excited about raising a family with her longtime partner.
The timing might be a shock, but further explanation doesn’t appear to be forthcoming. For now, they aren’t talking, but they are making moves to physically separate, too.
A moving truck was spotted at their home
Jelly Roll might have filed for divorce a month ago, but it looks like the pair are just now getting around to leaving their marital home. On the same day that news broke about their split, a large moving truck was spotted outside their Nashville estate.
According to several sources, movers were seen carrying furniture and other personal effects from the property. It remains unclear exactly who was moving from the property. During a previous split, Bunnie XO vacated the marital home, returning to Las Vegas, where she was raised. Jelly Roll was born and raised in Nashville, which makes him more likely to stick close to the neighborhood than his estranged wife.
We are still waiting for an official statement from Jelly Roll or Bunnie XO.
