A new detail has emerged in the breakup of Jelly roll And Rabbit XOhighlighting the official end of their marriage.
As moving trucks were spotted outside the couple’s Tennessee home, court documents revealed the date they allegedly separated.
This development comes months after the two celebrated each other publicly, making the latest chapter of their relationship even more surprising for fans who have followed their journey.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce days after separation
The timeline surrounding Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s split is becoming clearer. According to reports, the country music star filed for divorce in Tennessee on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences.
Court documents reportedly list May 9 as the couple’s separation date, meaning the marriage ended just nine days before the case was filed.
The singer, real name Jason Bradley DeFord, is looking to officially end his marriage to Alisa DeFord, better known as Bunnie XO, after nearly a decade together.
Sources said TMZ that the decision was mutual and remained a private matter for the family.
Jelly Roll is represented by Nashville attorney Rose Palermo, who has handled several high-profile divorce cases over the years.
Although neither party has publicly commented on the matter, the revelation of the separation date offers a clearer picture of how quickly events unfolded behind the scenes.
Movers Arrive at Tennessee Property
The latest development came when a moving truck was spotted outside the couple’s home near Nashville.
Photographs showed boxes being carried off the property, fueling speculation about the next phase of the separation.
It is still unclear whether Jelly Roll or Bunnie XO is leaving the residence. Neither has publicly addressed the moving activity, but the footage added another layer to a breakup that has attracted a lot of attention.
The sighting came shortly after news of the divorce filing surfaced. For many fans, this was the first visible sign that major changes were happening in the couple’s personal lives.
The two had largely kept the details of their relationship private despite their public profiles, making the moving trucks a notable moment in an otherwise closely watched situation.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO: last public appearance
The last time the couple appeared publicly together was on February 24 during a stop on Bunnie XO’s book tour.
Jelly Roll surprised attendees by introducing themselves and performing to a sold-out crowd.
At the time, there was no indication that the marriage was nearing its final chapter. This appearance reflected the supportive dynamic that had often defined their relationship in the public eye.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO got married in 2016 and have often talked about overcoming challenges together.
Their relationship went through some rough patches and both were open about the effort it took to make the marriage work.
Earlier this year, Bunnie reflected on these struggles while speaking with PEOPLE. She explained, “When you’re with someone for a long time, you’re going to have to love them at their lowest. And I truly believe that true love isn’t so much about accepting things that you shouldn’t, but I think everyone deserves a second chance.”
She continued: “Loving someone at their lowest is one of the most beautiful things you can do, especially if they are blossoming and thriving like my husband.”
These remarks now carry added weight given the couple’s decision to separate months later.
Emotional Grammy tribute takes on new meaning
One of the most memorable moments in the couple’s recent history happened at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
While accepting the award for Best Contemporary Country Album for “Beautifully Broken,” Jelly Roll paid a moving tribute to his wife.
Standing on stage, he credited her with helping him turn his life around and supporting him through some of his darkest moments.
“I would never have changed my life without you. I would have died or in prison. I would have killed myself without you and Jesus,” he said during his acceptance speech.
This heartfelt statement drew praise at the time and became one of the most talked about moments of the ceremony.
With the news of the divorce now public, the speech took on a different meaning for fans looking back on the couple’s journey.
Jelly Roll continues personal challenges amid divorce
As her marriage comes to an end, Jelly Roll also continues a high-profile battle over her health and fitness goals.
Over the past few years, the singer has undergone a remarkable weight loss transformation. After weighing over 500 pounds, he lost 265 pounds by the time he appeared on the cover of Men’s health last November.
However, he admitted recently that it had become difficult to maintain this progress. In a YouTube video, he revealed that he strayed from his strict routine over the festive period and struggled to regain momentum after being injured.
Reflecting on this period, Jelly Roll explained according to the Daily Mail, “We reached the goal and it was right before the holidays, so I was like, ‘You know what man, I’ve worked hard for the last three years to lose this weight, I’m going to enjoy the holidays.'”
He added: “I had a big Thanksgiving meal, I had a big birthday meal, I had a big Christmas meal. I went off the rails a little bit and broke my collarbone… a few days before Christmas.”
As he faces personal and professional changes, the coming months are expected to mark a significant transition for the country star following the end of one of the most important relationships of his life.
