Before the news of their divorce became public, Rabbit Xo was already fending off speculation about her marriage to Jelly roll.
During a previous episode of her podcast “Dumb Blonde,” she explained that her absence from many of her public appearances was due to months of IVF treatments, not relationship issues.
However, following reports that Jelly Roll filed for divorce in May 2026, fans have begun revisiting several social media posts and public moments that now appear to hint at behind-the-scenes challenges.
Months before split, Bunnie Xo responded to rumors about her marriage to Jelly Roll

Months before news of their split became public, Bunnie Xo was already addressing speculation about her marriage to Jelly Roll.
During an August 2025 episode of her podcast “Dumb Blonde,” the 46-year-old media personality pushed back against online rumors suggesting problems in their relationship because they were no longer appearing together as frequently.
According to Bunnie, there was a simple explanation. She revealed that much of her time was spent on fertility treatments as the couple considered having a child together.
“Someone said the other day, ‘They were always together, and now you don’t see them together,'” she shared on the podcast, according to Us every week. “I’m like, ‘You haven’t known this for six months?’ [that] Did I try to have a baby?
The comments resurfaced after reports emerged that Jelly Roll, real name Jason Bradley DeFord, filed for divorce in Tennessee in May 2026, ending nearly a decade of marriage.
Around the same time, Bunnie posted a reflective message on social media about rediscovering her “glow,” sparking further discussion among fans.
Bunnie Xo revealed IVF struggles amid rumors her marriage to Jelly Roll was strained

The couple had faced similar speculation throughout 2025 as Jelly Roll’s career continued to soar.
Between a European tour with Post Malone and a high-profile visit to Vatican City, where he met Pope Leo XIV, the country star spent much of the year on the road while Bunnie stayed largely out of the spotlight.
Addressing rumors at the time, Bunnie explained that her absence from public appearances had little to do with relationship problems and everything to do with the emotional and physical toll of IVF treatments.
She described the experience as difficult, saying she spent months dealing with medications, setbacks and the uncertainty that often accompanies fertility journeys.
“My husband has to work to bring home the bacon,” she told listeners. “Luckily I have the luxury of working from home. I don’t. He has to make appearances, but I’ve literally been on IVF treatment for six months and I’ve been through heartbreak and so much shit.”

Despite speculation, the two continued to make public appearances together earlier this year, attending a pre-Grammy event before sharing affectionate moments on the Grammy Awards red carpet.
Their relationship had already gone through difficulties. In her memoir, “Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic,” released in February, Bunnie spoke candidly about rebuilding trust after Jelly Roll’s past infidelity.
Rather than defining their marriage, she said the experience ultimately became a turning point that transformed them both and reshaped their understanding of love and commitment.

Jelly Roll later acknowledged that revisiting these chapters of their lives through memoir was not always easy.
However, he praised Bunnie for telling her story openly and honestly, expressing admiration for her willingness to discuss painful experiences and personal challenges without holding back.
“I’m just proud of her for telling her story unapologetically,” the country music star said at the time.
He added: “I mean, she speaks fearlessly about everything from domestic assault to sexual assault. I’m just proud of her. She’s so brave.”
Fans revisit Bunnie Xo’s cryptic messages and Jelly Roll’s missing ring after divorce filing

Yet in the weeks leading up to filing for divorce, fans now believe there may have been subtle signs that things had changed behind the scenes.
According to court documents, Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences and listing May 9 as the couple’s separation date.
A few days later, Bunnie posted a TikTok video that has since taken on new meaning. Referring to women’s intuition and situations that “don’t add up,” the post made many followers wonder if she had been quietly hinting at personal struggles all along.
After the divorce news broke, commenters flooded the post with reactions, with one fan writing, “Bunnie was dropping the tea in real time, and we all didn’t time it.”
Speculation only intensified in early June when Jelly Roll took the stage at CMA Fest in Nashville without his wedding ring, a detail that didn’t go unnoticed once reports of the split surfaced.
