Country star Jelly Roll is setting the record straight about his split from Bunnie XO.
The singer, born Jason DeFord, addressed the breakup publicly for the first time during a recent concert in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where he pushed back against rumors about the end of their marriage and made it clear there was no behind-the-scenes betrayal.
Standing before a packed crowd, Jelly Roll described Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa Carter, as his “best friend” and shut down speculation that infidelity caused the divorce.
“Nobody cheated on nobody,” he told fans.
The statement comes after news surfaced that Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce in Tennessee in May, citing irreconcilable differences. Court documents reportedly list May 9 as the couple’s separation date. Despite the filing, both sides have continued to speak positively about one another.
Jelly Roll also used the moment to praise Bunnie XO’s recent episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, where she opened up about the breakup and the emotional challenges the couple faced throughout their relationship. According to the country star, she “told the truth” about what happened.

The comments painted a picture of a relationship ending with respect rather than hostility. Jelly Roll went even further, telling concertgoers that Bunnie XO would likely remain the only woman he ever loves.
The pair’s story is far from over. During her podcast discussion, Bunnie revealed that they still plan to pursue parenthood together through surrogacy despite ending their marriage. She also detailed the difficult IVF journey they experienced, including multiple embryo losses that took an emotional toll on both of them.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO married in 2016 and became one of entertainment’s most recognizable couples. Through social media, podcasts and public appearances, they built a loyal following invested in their relationship.
While their marriage has come to an end, both continue to emphasize friendship, family and mutual support. For now, Jelly Roll’s message is simple: the relationship changed, but the respect remains.
And according to the singer, the rumors can stop there.
