Unknown
Country artist Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, are set to split up after almost 10 years of marriage.
It was revealed by TMZ that Jelly Roll, real name Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18, according to court documents.
The move may come as a surprise to many who have followed the couple's journey, as the pair have shared several details about their relationship in the past.
Earlier this year, they could be seen getting their PDA on at the 2026 Grammys, before Jelly Roll, 41, scooped up an award for himself, thanking his wife in his speech.
Following the news, an old interview involving podcaster Bunnie Xo, real name Alisa DeFord, and the discussion of the couple's sex life has resurfaced.
Bunnie Xo spoke about their sex life
Speaking out in February this year, she explained how her love life with Jelly Roll changed following his dramatic weight loss.
The country artist once hit 540 lbs (245 kg), but managed to lose over half of that without the use of GLP-1 medication, getting down to 265 lbs (120 kg).
Speaking to Us Weekly, Bunnie Xo opened up about what she shared in her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic: "We always had a sex life, but there were mountains and valleys that we had to go through - especially when he was so big."
She added that it was his "excitement and his new zest for life" which was refreshing, adding: “It’s so childlike and just giddy - just seeing him get to be the man that I always saw that he was.”
The 46-year-old went on: “Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I’m like, ‘You are athletic under that meat suit.’
"Now that he has the weight off of him, he just gets to be who I always knew that he was, and I think it’s brought a new sense of happiness to him. Any time he’s happy, I’m happy."
Jelly Roll also opened up about his own weight loss in an interview with Men's Health this year, explaining: "I was so fat that there came a moment in life that my wife and I had to put two queen beds beside each other because we couldn’t fit in a king bed anymore, I was just all over,
"Now it’s a totally different thing. I’m chasing her around the house. I’m like a teenage kid again! I’m like the Pink Panther – I bust out of every corner. And she opens the cabinet and I go, ‘Hi!’"
He had previously revealed that he couldn't get aroused due to his size.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo's relationship
The couple started dating over 10 years ago, after meeting at one of Jelly Roll's shows at Las Vegas' Country Saloon in 2015.
After around a year of dating, Jelly proposed to Bunnie on stage in Las Vegas, with the pair eloping and making it official in a courthouse ceremony that same evening.
They had been open about numerous aspects of their relationship, including their IVF journey, as they were attempting to conceive.
When Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo attended this year's Grammy Awards, they could be seen laying kisses on one another, sharing a more wholesome moment after the former won Best Contemporary Country Album.
As part of his acceptance speech, he said: "I want to thank my beautiful wife,
"I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn't for you and Jesus. I thank you for that."
