Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s relationship has long been defined by openness, turbulence, and public honesty and according to multiple reports, it has now entered another difficult chapter after Jelly Roll filed for divorce in May.

The country star reportedly filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18, according to court records obtained by PEOPLE. TMZ was the first to report the filing, and PEOPLE later confirmed the details. Representatives for both Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Hours before the news became public, Bunnie XO shared a series of cryptic Instagram Stories that many fans now view in a new light. One post showed her posing in lingerie with the caption: “She’s getting her sparkle back ,” set to Metric’s “Help I’m Alive.” She later reposted a message reading, “Come here, let me show you what love feels like,” paired with J. Cole’s “Power Trip,” followed by a Snoop Dogg clip that read, “You’re embarrassing cut it out,” alongside the line, “Me about to take it up a notch.”

The couple, who first met in 2015 at one of Jelly Roll’s early shows in Las Vegas, quickly moved from dating to engagement and eloped shortly after. They were married at The Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas and later returned in 2023 to renew their vows in an intimate ceremony.

Despite their public image as a strong couple, they have repeatedly acknowledged major challenges in their relationship. Bunnie XO has previously spoken about a year-long affair Jelly Roll had early in their marriage, which led to a separation. Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, has expressed regret over the incident in past interviews.

Their relationship history has also included discussions around non-traditional dynamics, periods of separation, and reconciliation. Fans have long been aware that their marriage was not without strain, even as the pair often presented a united front.

In early 2026, Bunnie also opened up about the couple’s IVF journey, describing it as one of the most emotionally difficult experiences of her life. The couple had previously announced plans to expand their family, with Bunnie acting as a stepmother to Jelly Roll’s two children, Bailee Ann and Noah.

Their story has included multiple breakups and reunions over the years. After an earlier split following Jelly Roll’s affair, Bunnie briefly left Tennessee and returned to Las Vegas before the pair eventually reconciled. They later rebuilt their relationship and renewed their commitment in 2023.

At the 2026 Grammy Awards, just months before the reported divorce filing, the couple appeared affectionate on the red carpet. After winning Best Contemporary Country Album, Jelly Roll became emotional in his speech, thanking Bunnie XO and crediting her with helping him change his life.

Despite that public display of unity, the recent filing has left fans reflecting on a relationship the couple themselves have often described as complicated rather than idealized.

As of now, neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO has publicly addressed the reported divorce filing.
