After 10 years of marriage, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are getting divorced.
The two have been practically inextricable over the past decade as Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) became one of the biggest country stars on the planet, and Bunnie (Alyssa DeFord) became a popular podcaster. Throughout this time, Jelly and Bunnie exhibited a remarkable candor while talking about themselves and each other, whether discussing the ups and downs of their relationship, the nitty-gritty details of their sex lives, or their complicated pasts.
Jelly Roll often credited Bunnie with changing the course of his life, including at the Grammys earlier this year while accepting the award for Best Contemporary Country Album. “I want to thank my beautiful wife,” he said during his speech. “I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus. I thank you for that.”
Bunnie, for her part, told People earlier this year, “When you are with somebody for a long time, you are going to have to love them at their lowest. And I truly believe that true love is not about so much as accepting things that you shouldn’t, but I do think that everybody deserves a second chance. Loving somebody at their lowest is one of the most beautiful things you can do, especially if they bloom and they blossom like my husband has.”
