As fireworks exploded in the sky on the Fourth of July, sparks were flying in the VIP section of country star Jelly Roll's Goodnight Nashville bar, where his ex-wife Bunnie XO was caught in a session with a boy toy more than 20 years her junior.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XOs Chaotic Divorce Unfolds
As fireworks exploded in the sky on the Fourth of July, sparks were flying in the VIP section of country star Jelly Roll's Goodnight Nashville bar, where his ex...
Amid the flashing lights and rooftop smoke, the 46‑year‑old former prostitute couldn't keep her hands off reality star Dylan Wolf, 24, making her newly estranged husband's venue the backdrop for her late‑night rebound.
Meanwhile, another bombshell dropped: the tell‑all episode of Bunnie's Dumb Blonde podcast - the one where she finally from Jelly Roll - had quietly vanished.
Published just days after news broke of the divorce in May, the episode saw Bunnie lovingly call Jelly, 41, her 'best friend,' reveal that he's already dating again, and confess that they're still planning to have a child together, despite their 10-year marriage crumbling.
And according to insiders, that emotional whiplash is an accurate reflection of the turmoil behind the scenes.
'It's messy,' an insider told the Daily Mail. 'Everything involving Bunnie is going to be messy right now but the kids are still happening.'

A second insider also said Jelly and Bunnie - real names Jason and Alisa DeFord - are still moving forward with their plans for a surrogate pregnancy.

'As of right now, Jelly and Bunnie remain committed to expanding their family despite the long and emotional IVF journey they've been through,' the source said.
'After previously losing embryos, they're hopeful the remaining embryos will lead to a successful pregnancy through their surrogate. They aren't giving up even if their marriage is and will remain over.'
In her now‑deleted podcast episode, Bunnie detailed just how brutal that journey has been.
The pair started IVF nearly two years ago and tried multiple times to get pregnant, she said, but suffered four embryo losses.
Jelly also had to 'get on a bunch of hormones' after discovering he had low sperm count, forcing him to confront medical issues of his own while juggling a booming career, she said.
In fact, Bunnie suggested that IVF didn't just test their bodies - it quietly started to dismantle their relationship.
She described the fertility process as the beginning of the end, that the emotional strain and constant disappointment laid the foundation for arguments that ultimately blew the marriage apart.
The tipping point, in her retelling, came on Mother's Day this year, when a fight escalated and Bunnie snapped at Jelly: 'Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.'

What she thought was just a frustrated outburst became a challenge he took literally.
Court documents later showed Jelly filed for divorce days later on May 18, listing May 9 as their official date of separation and citing irreconcilable differences. Then, moving trucks and boxes appeared outside their $6.5million Nashville home as the couple called it quits on their decade-long marriage.
At the time, that the couple had 'disagreements over timing' of when to have children, and that Jelly's 'increasingly demanding career' contributed to 'tension' in their relationship.
Meanwhile, another source highlighted the 'conflict' between Jelly's renewed - and very public - Christian faith and Bunnie's lifestyle, which they said involves 'posing mostly naked and talking about porn and penises on her podcast.'
'Everything involving Bunnie is going to be messy right now but the kids are still happening,' the source added
Jelly and Bunnie tied the knot in 2016, and were together for ten years before splitting up
There was speculation that Bunnie had moved on with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, forcing her to publicly say that there was 'no Chad and Bunnie Xo,' and apologize to the singer and his band for roping them into such drama. Meanwhile, Jelly told a concert crowd at the time that 'nobody cheated on nobody,' blasting rumor‑mongers as 'liars.'
Bunnie also revealed that Jelly has already started seeing someone and that she's 'happy for him,' while slamming online rumors linking him to 21-year-old singer‑songwriter Jessie Murph.

With Murph only a few years older than his 18‑year‑old daughter Bailee Ann, Bunnie called the idea 'absolutely f*****g kind of disgusting' and 'disrespectful.'
As for her smooch with Wolf, Bunnie said on her podcast that she isn't interested in dating anyone and is only 'here for fun.' However, she criticized those who filmed the kiss, saying she's just 'a woman who's trying to move on with her life and has been through hell this entire … year.'
And that year from 'hell' has clearly taken a toll.
Bunnie said that she had dropped a dramatic 20 pounds since the split, describing how she was not eating nor drinking as she clearly struggled under the weight of the public break‑up.
Jelly, meanwhile, who famously lost almost 300 pounds during their years together, said in a YouTube video on Friday that he had 'been overeating the last three or four days' out of stress.
It is all a far cry from where the couple started, getting hitched at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas a decade ago.
Now, those vows are broken - but only time will tell if promises of a baby will come to pass.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO for comment.
