Bunnie Xo's Reported Desire to Return to Adult Entertainment Contributed to Jelly Roll Split
Reports suggest that Bunnie Xo's consideration of returning to adult entertainment played a significant role in her recent separation from country music artist Jelly Roll.
The couple's divorce news made headlines earlier this month, sparking discussions about the reasons behind their split.
According to a source who spoke to Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack on Tuesday, June 23, "Bunnie started seriously considering a return, and that created real tension." This development is particularly noteworthy given Bunnie Xo's past career in the sex work industry, which she has openly discussed.
Bunnie Xo, 46, had a career in adult entertainment before and during the early stages of Jelly Roll's music career.
She revealed on her "Dumb Blonde" podcast that she was still working in the industry when they first got together, stating, "I was turning tricks to pay our bills and to get lawyers and to travel and to, you know, go on tour and stuff like that."
After she and Jelly Roll, 41, married and his music career took off, she stepped away from that line of work.
However, the recent contemplation of a return reportedly caused concern for Jelly Roll, who has been open about his Christian faith and has collaborated with Christian artists.
A source indicated that he was worried about the potential impact on his career.
Another source clarified that the core issue was not one of judgment or morality.
"Nobody was judging anyone," the source told the outlet.
"The issue wasn't morality.
The issue was compatibility.
They stopped seeing the same picture when they looked ahead." This suggests a divergence in their visions for the future rather than a moral conflict.
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, and Bunnie Xo first met in 2015 and married in 2016.
They had previously separated two years into their marriage after Bunnie discovered an affair, which she detailed in her memoir, "Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic." Despite that past reconciliation, news broke earlier this month that Jelly Roll had filed for divorce in May.
Both have expressed intentions to remain friends following their separation.
