Jelly Roll Confirms No Cheating in Bunnie XO Divorce, Cites Irreconcilable Differences
Jelly Roll has publicly addressed his divorce from Bunnie XO, confirming that their separation did not involve infidelity.
Speaking at a concert in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the artist stated, "nobody cheated on nobody," directly refuting online rumors.
This clarification follows Bunnie XO's own public statements regarding the split, where she also emphasized the absence of cheating.
The couple, who have been married for 10 years, maintain that they remain "best friends" and are committed to co-parenting a child they plan to have via surrogacy.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tenn., on May 18, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences.
This development is significant as it provides clarity on the nature of their separation, directly addressing public speculation and emphasizing their continued amicable relationship.
## Details of the Split
Bunnie XO elaborated on the circumstances leading to the divorce filing during her "Dumb Blonde" podcast.
She described an argument on Mother's Day, during which she, feeling frustrated, told Jelly Roll to "file the [expletive] divorce papers." She admitted to being blindsided when he followed through, stating, "Was I blindsided?
Was this divorce mutual?
No."
Despite the emotional nature of the filing, Bunnie XO stressed that they are ending their marriage "on the best possible terms." She noted that communication had dwindled over the past year and a half, leading to both parties holding things in, which she called "a recipe for disaster."
## Plans for Co-Parenting and Surrogacy
Both Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO have confirmed their intention to proceed with their plans for surrogacy and to co-parent their future child.
They had previously announced in February that they secured a surrogate after years of fertility struggles.
Bunnie XO described their journey as "hellacious," involving multiple failed embryo transfers and hormone treatments that took a toll on both of them.
In her February 2026 memoir, "Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic," Bunnie XO expressed her determination to have children with Jelly Roll, whom she considers a great father.
She is also the stepmother to Jelly Roll's two children, Bailee Ann, 18, and Noah, 9.
Jelly Roll concluded his concert address by reiterating his enduring friendship with Bunnie XO, stating, "That will be my best friend forever.
This is the only time I will ever speak about it.
Bunnie, I love you baby.
Thank you for those 10 years.
They were incredible.
Thank you for the next 10 years of friendship and 20 beyond that."
