Signs Bunnie Xo & Jelly Roll's Split Isn't The Drama Haters Think

Social media reckons country star Jelly Roll's split from his wife, Bunnie Xo, is turning into a major drama behind the scenes, but that theory seems way off base. The country star filed to divorce Bunnie in May 2026, roughly a month before TMZ unearthed their legal paperwork. During that time, the celebrity couple successfully evaded speculation until the news broke, suggesting a commitment to keeping things under the radar for as long as reasonably possible. Another major sign that Jelly and Bunnie aren't headed for an ugly showbiz divorce is that they still appear to be on relatively good terms. 

Although Jelly Roll did publicly distance himself from Bunnie Xo by removing her username from his Instagram bio, they're clearly still in each other's orbits. The podcaster even made a cameo, via phone call, in one of Jelly's recent YouTube videos, entitled "The Divorce Vlog." After teasing that he was about to reveal what happened in their marriage, Bunnie appeared. "Yeah, ya'll thought we were gonna hate each other," Jelly quipped. "Plot twist b**ches," she added. They even exchanged "I love yous" at the end. Although comedian Nicole Arbour, who has famously feuded with the Grammy winner in the past, suggested it was all a big publicity stunt, the reality is that they most likely won't duke things out in divorce court.

Bunnie Xo's marriage to Jelly Roll is winding down after a decade. But that doesn't necessarily mean they're about to become contenders for one of the messiest divorces in Hollywood history. According to the "Dumb Blonde" host, they plan to remain in each other's lives — as co-parents. "That's my f**king best friend, dude," Bunnie asserted during a June 2026 episode of her podcast. "And you guys are going to be shocked to hear this, but we're still having a baby," she continued, before acknowledging the surprising decision isn't exactly the done thing. "We have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered," Bunnie pointed out. While it's great that they're determined to navigate their next chapter peacefully, social media is calling foul. 

In fact, one user angrily reacted with comments about how unrealistic their plans are. "I give it 6 months after a baby is born before she's raking him over the coals publicly," they wrote on Reddit. "And it will be warranted. You want to have a baby with a man you're no longer with and think they're going to show up for you?" Meanwhile, a second Redditor called out the celebrity cliché about staying close after a split, arguing, "I hate it when celebrities divorce and they're like 'we still love each other and they're my best friend and we're going to be friends now and there's so much love and respect between us' OKAY? So why are you getting divorced?" Naturally, only time will tell whether things remain as amicable between Jelly and Bunnie as they supposedly are now.
