Bunnie XO is setting the record straight about her divorce from Jelly Roll.
In a recent episode of her podcast, “Dumb Blonde,” the 46-year-old podcaster spoke out about her divorce from the country music superstar, letting fans in on the intimate details which led to the shocking decision, dispelling rumors there was any infidelity.
“On Mother’s Day we had a little bit of an argument which I don’t think the details are necessary, and in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, ‘Well, then file the f—ing divorce papers,'” she said.
Following the argument, she recalled packing a bag and leaving the home, noting, “I didn’t talk to my husband for, I don’t know, weeks after that.”

“During that, he was so mad, and we were so emotional that he ended up doing exactly what I told him to do and filing the divorce papers,” she said. “Was I blindsided and was this divorce mutual? No, I was not. It was not mutual. Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and just frustration. But was it necessary for us to have a wakeup call and to actually start having these real conversations? Absolutely.”
After finding out that Jelly Roll had filed for divorce, Bunnie XO said she began taking hormone replacement therapy and going to therapy, saying she recalled thinking, “I’ve got to f—ing pull myself out of this hole.”
She revealed that she still considers Jelly Roll her best friend and no matter “how f—ed up our relationship was” or how bad their communication skills were, she had hope, saying, “I felt like we deserved a chance to go to therapy and figure s— out. He didn’t feel that way and I respect it.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, Bunnie revealed she and Jelly Roll are still trying to have a baby despite the divorce through IVF for the past two years, explaining they had three transfers and lost four embryos, which put a strain on their relationship.
“We’re still having a baby together,” Bunnie Xo said on her podcast.
“We stopped communicating together in the past year and a half. And I think that it’s safe for me to say that I always loved my husband a little bit more than he loved me. I was like always protecting him and always making sure he was okay and like always chasing him and I literally was the glue that held us together.”
“I was always the chaser,” she added. “In a twin flame relationship, there’s a runner and a chaser. He’s the runner. I’m the chaser. So in this past year and a half, because I felt like he wasn’t pouring into me and I wasn’t pouring into him and we just weren’t communicating. We just weren’t on the same page. I stopped chasing him.”
News of the couples divorce broke earlier this week. According to court records viewed by Fox News Digital, the country star filed the paperwork on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, listing the date of separation as May 9.
Following the news breaking, rumors of infidelity on both sides began circulating on social media. Bunnie dispelled those rumors, saying, “Nobody cheated on the other person. It’s literally just we served our purpose for each other. Many believed she had left the country singer for Chad Kroeger, a founding member of the band Nickelback, because she happened to post a few videos on social media with the band’s songs.
“I post a Nickelback song because Nickelback is like one of my favorite bands…I post this Nickelback song, not thinking anything of it. Not a shot at J in any sort of way, not even realizing that it’s a breakup song. It’s trending on TikTok,” she said, also acknowledging the other videos she posted involving the band. “So there’s three f—ing videos…which it does look like overkill, and I get where people are trying to put puzzle pieces together, but you’re putting a puzzle together with missing pieces, and it’s not even like that. I am not with Daddy Chaddy. There’s no f—ing way in hell that that would even be a thing. And no, I did not cheat on my husband and leave him for Chad. Like none of that.”
As for her love life nowadays, Bunnie said she is currently single, joking, “Your girl is not going to ever be in another relationship,” and that she is “about to be a player.”
While she isn’t seeing anyone, she shared that Jelly Roll is currently out there dating, something she is very supportive of.

“He is ready, rearing and ready to go,” she said. “He’s all hopped up on testosterone, let me tell you. And he’s ready to go. So, he’s even started dating, which is great. I love that. His DMs are open. Go to freaking his Instagram. JellyRoll615 if you don’t know, and go send that mother f—er a DM. Like, you guys don’t be scared. Everybody go hit him up. Shoot your mother f—ing shot.”
Jelly Roll also broke his silence on the divorce.
The singer posted a video to his Instagram page that featured an excerpt from his Thursday, June 18 concert in Saratoga Springs, New York. In the video, Jelly Roll addressed their divorce and rumors swirling around their split.
“The internet is a liar too,” he said on stage, adding that he is only speaking out about his divorce once and never again.
“Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends. We just got off the phone earlier today. Nobody cheated on nobody,” he said, suggesting people should listen to her podcast that she published, noting that “every word of it is the truth.”
Jelly Roll said Bunnie Xo “will be my best friend forever.”
“Bunnie, I love you baby. Thank you for those ten years, they were incredible. Thank you for the next 10 years of friendship and 20 beyond that,” he added, before continuing on with the concert.
Bunnie, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, and Jelly Roll tied the knot in August 2016 during a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony, after meeting the year prior. She became a stepmom to the country singer’s daughter, Bailee, and son, Noah.
