Jelly Roll is sharing an update with fans after filing for divorce from Bunnie Xo after 10 years of marriage.
The “Save Me” singer, 41, posted a video titled “The Divorce Vlog” via YouTube on Friday, June 19, after news of his marriage breakdown became public earlier this week.
“What’s up YouTube, guess who’s back?” Jelly Roll said as he introduced the Vlog. “Y’all didn’t think you were going to hear from me this week did you? I bet y’all were like, ‘There’s no way we’re gonna hear from Jelly Roll this week. He’s in the middle of a divorce. There’s no way we’re gonna hear.’”
Confirming he would address his split, he added, “You’re gonna hear about the divorce at the end of this Vlog.”
Jelly Roll doubled down in the Vlog’s caption, vowing to clear up any misconceptions surrounding his relationship with Bunnie.
“Welp. I got divorced,” he wrote in the caption. “Y’all have seen the headlines. Heard the rumors. Read whatever your cousin’s friend’s coworker said on Facebook. I’m not gonna sit here and pretend none of it happened — but I also think y’all deserve to hear it straight instead of through fifteen rounds of telephone. So okay, y’all — let’s finally talk about this.”
After sharing behind-the-scenes footage from his music career, Jelly Roll made good on his promise to mention his and Bunnie’s breakup at the end of the video.
“Alright y’all, I told ya I was going to give you y’all the piping hot tea about the divorce. I know ya’ll been waiting. You ready for it?” the musician teased.
Jelly Roll, who had a phone in his hand, then revealed Bunnie at the end of the line.
“Mama bear, tell them where to find it,” he told her, before she gave a plug for her podcast.
“Alright guys, head over to my YouTube, ‘Dumb Blonde’ pod, watch ‘The Divorce’ podcast. All of your questions will be answered,” Bunnie, 46, said.
Jelly Roll then joked, “Yeah, y’all thought we were going to hate each other didn’t you? Plot twist, bitches!”
After promoting Bunnie’s podcast, the pair ended the call by telling each other they loved one another.
In Bunnie’s podcast episode, which was released on Thursday, June 18, she shared candid details of the reasons behind their separation and shot down speculation the marriage ended due to infidelity.
“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary,” she explained. “And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.’”
After the podcast dropped, Jelly Roll publicly addressed the split on stage at the Saratoga Springs, NY, leg of his tour.
“Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends. We just got off the phone earlier today,” he said. “Nobody cheated on nobody. She just did a whole podcast about it. You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth.”
Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie in Tennessee on May 18, Us Weekly confirmed on Monday, June 15.
