Country star Jelly Roll and his wife, podcast host Bunnie XO, real name Alisa Carter, appear to have quietly ended their marriage weeks before the news became public.
According to newly revealed court documents, Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, and Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa Carter, officially separated on May 9. Nine days later, the Grammy-nominated singer filed for divorce in Tennessee, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO has publicly addressed the filing. However, fans had already begun speculating that something had changed.
Earlier this month, Jelly Roll appeared at CMA Fest in Nashville without his wedding ring. Social media followers also noticed the absence of the band in several recent videos and photos.
“Wedding ring has been moved onto the left pointer finger since Feb/March,” one fan wrote online. “Are they actually separated?”
Attention soon turned to Bunnie XO’s social media activity. On May 16, she shared a post referencing former relationships. Days later, she uploaded a TikTok mentioning “women’s intuition when that s–t don’t add up.”
The messages continued throughout June. In one post, she declared, “Wild hearts can’t be broken.” Hours before reports of the divorce surfaced, Carter shared an Instagram Story featuring a glamorous photo of herself alongside the caption, “She’s getting her sparkle back.”
Movers At Jelly Roll’s Nashville Home After Announcing Divorce From Estranged Wife Bunnie XO
The latest development came this week when movers were photographed outside the couple’s Nashville-area home. Images showed workers loading belongings into a moving truck parked at the property. It remains unclear whose possessions were being relocated.
The split marks a significant turning point for a couple who frequently shared their personal journey with fans. Married in Las Vegas in 2016, they renewed their vows in 2023 after overcoming several challenges together.
In 2025, DeFord publicly discussed past infidelity and credited the couple’s efforts to rebuild trust.
At the time, he said they were “stronger than [they had] ever been” because of the “special … repair” work they had done.
Carter later reflected on that difficult period in her memoir, Stripped Down.
“I contemplated taking my life,” she wrote. “The pain was so intense that I genuinely just wanted to end it all.”
“It would take years for me to put the affair aside,” she added. “It would take years to actually feel like this man loved me — that I wasn’t disposable.”
As the divorce proceedings move forward, the end of their nearly decade-long marriage closes a chapter that many fans followed closely.
