- Country singer Jelly Roll has reportedly filed for divorce from his wife, Bunnie Xo, of 10 years.

Grammy-winning country artist Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife, Bunnie Xo, of 10 years, according to **'s sister publication, PEOPLE.

The outlet reported that the 41-year-old "I Am Not Okay" and "Need a Favor" singer filed for divorce from Xo — real name Alisa DeFord — on May 18 in Williamson County, Tenn.

Roll's divorce filing comes after the couple renewed their vows in August 2023 where they were first married. They appeared in public together in early 2026 — including in February on Xo's *Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic *book tour.

After *TMZ* first broke news of the couple's reported divorce, Xo shared a video to Instagram dancing and lip-syncing to Nickelback's "How Your Remind Me" — in particular, mouthing the lyrics, "It's not like you didn't know that I said, 'I love you,' and I swear I still do. And it must have been so bad, 'cause living with me must've damn near killed you."

The couple spoke about their marriage in an interview with PEOPLE in February. In it, Roll explained how the couple maintained a healthy balance amid a challenging time in their union that included a 2018 affair that Xo recounted in her aforementioned book.

"Love, man. Love will always do it," Roll said of what kept the couple together.

"Communication, just believing you're with the right person and believing that change can actually happen," he continued. "That's why we've been so honest about this story with everybody. We knew it would come with blowback, but our heart was to hope that somebody would hear it and believe that they could change."

The couple met at one of Roll's performances in 2015, and married the following year in a small courthouse ceremony.

On the day of the reported divorce filing, Xo — who hosts the *Dumb Blonde* podcast — shared a video celebrating a close friend's birthday, in which she praised her for her support.

"To know this angel is to laugh until your stomach hurts, feel loved without asking, & be reminded that soul sisters are real," Xo wrote at the time. "You bring so much light, chaos, joy, comfort, & laughter into my life & I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you. Thank you for being my little sister by heart, my safe place, and one of God’s greatest gifts to me."
