Jelly Rolls Ex Bunnie XO: Baby on the Way!

He cited 'irreconcilable differences' in the filing, which was lodged on May 18 and lists May 9 as the couple's date of separation.

Sources told TMZ the split was a 'mutual decision' and remains a 'private family matter.' 

The singer is being represented by Rose Palermo, who has handled some of the most difficult and complex divorces in Nashville and was retained by Kristin Cavallari in her divorce from Jay Cutler. 

The news broke on Monday night, sending shocked fans into a frenzy as they tried to pinpoint signs of trouble in past social media posts.

That same day, a moving truck was pictured in front of the couple's $6.5 million home near Nashville and boxes were seen leaving, though it is unclear which of the two was moving out.

They bought the five-bedroom, seven-bath mansion in late 2023. 

Jelly Roll and Bunnie were married in 2016 and their relationship wasn't always smooth sailing.

The three-time Grammy winner publicly admitted that he cheated on his wife in 2018. He called the affair 'one of the worst moments' of his adult life, attributing the infidelity to substance abuse and a toxic circle of friends at the time. 

Bunnie recently opened up about the ups and downs of the couple's marriage revealing it's important to love someone even when they are 'at their lowest' because 'everybody deserves a second chance.'

'When you are with somebody for a long time, you are going to have to love them at their lowest. And I truly believe that true love is not about so much as accepting things that you shouldn't, but I do think that everybody deserves a second chance,' she told People earlier this year.

'Loving somebody at their lowest is one of the most beautiful things you can do, especially if they bloom and they blossom like my husband has.'

Back in February, Jelly Roll made a moving speech at the 2026 Grammy Awards as he accepted the prize for Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken, and crediting his wife with saving his life.

'I would have never changed my life without you. I'd have ended up dead or in jail. I'd have killed myself if it wasn't for you and Jesus,' he said.

Jelly Roll has also changed his life over the last few years by embarking on a weight loss journey and he recently confessed he has 'lost [his] way' but vowed to get back on track.

The father-of-two weighed over 500lbs in 2023 but had slimmed down to 265lbs on the day he shot a Men's Health magazine cover last November.

He admitted he had been 'avoiding the scale' over the last few months after deciding to 'enjoy the holidays' and indulge in 'big meals,' as well as being less active due to an injury.

He was scared to have a new weigh in ahead of returning to his diet.

Speaking in a YouTube video, Jelly Roll said: 'We hit the goal and it was right before the holidays, so I was like, 'You know what man, I've been working hard for the last three years losing this weight, I'm going to enjoy the holidays.'

'I had a big Thanksgiving meal, I had a big birthday meal, I ate a big Christmas meal. Kinda got off the rails and I broke my collarbone... a few days before Christmas.'

Jelly Roll and Bunnie have been very candid about how his former size and weight made intimacy extremely difficult, with Jelly Roll once describing their sex life as 'horrible' on The Joe Rogan Experience.

His transformation, however, made him feel like he had 'the sex drive of a 17-year-old' again, as he told Men's Health.
