Remember when Bunnie XO had the internet calling her and Jelly Roll “couple goals”? Just a few months ago, the podcast host made it clear that what fans see online doesn’t reflect the full reality of their relationship. While Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll have often been praised for their love story and loyalty to each other, she previously shut down the fairytale narrative. This week, reports that Jelly Roll has filed for divorce have circulated.
During a sit-down with Kelly Clarkson, which aired in February 2026, Bunnie XO has been firm about rejecting the “couple goals” label fans love to place on her and Jelly Roll. “I know they mean it with good intention. But at the same time… we’ve been through the freaking trenches together,” she said, emphasizing that their relationship has endured far more than what’s visible online. And while the pair have openly discussed therapy, rebuilding trust, and doing the work to stay together, recent reports that Jelly Roll has filed for divorce have once again brought their complicated love story back into the spotlight.
Furthermore, Bunnie opened up about how quickly things moved between her and Jelly Roll, revealing they eloped in Las Vegas just a month after meeting. She explained that their vastly different upbringings played a major role in the early challenges of their marriage, admitting things were rocky from the start as they adjusted to life together. “We were both just so hardheaded and stubborn,” she said, reflecting on how their personalities clashed in the beginning.
Bunnie also revealed that their relationship hit a major breaking point when Jelly Roll — real name Jason DeFord — had a nearly year-long affair about three years into their marriage. She recalled how devastating it was to find out, sharing that they briefly separated before eventually working through their issues. Instead of immediately walking away, Bunnie said she chose to reflect inward and gave him another chance, explaining that she believed in growth and second chances despite the hurt.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Jelly Roll officially filed for divorce from Bunnie XO on May 18, bringing an end to their 10-year marriage. Court documents that surfaced on Tuesday, June 16, revealed that the singer listed their date of separation as May 9 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The filing quickly reignited public interest in the couple’s relationship, especially as past interviews and personal revelations about their marriage began circulating again online.
