Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo have long been viewed as one of country music’s most unfiltered couples who have weathered numerous storms. It was only a few months ago that the Save Me singer openly thanked his wife for changing his life and making him a better man while accepting the Best Contemporary Country Album award at the 2026 Grammys. So when reports surfaced that the couple had filed for a divorce, fans were left stunned.
While neither the singer nor Bunnie has publicly addressed the split, insiders say it wasn’t a single dramatic incident that led to their fallout. While they are parting ways, the love is still very much there.
