Country music sensation Jelly Roll, known offstage as Jason Bradley DeFord, recently spoke out about the swirling rumors regarding his split from wife Bunnie XO. The couple, who embarked on a whirlwind romance in 2016 and married shortly thereafter, found themselves in the spotlight once again following Jelly Roll's divorce filing last month.
Addressing fans directly during a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York, the 41-year-old artist decisively quashed the gossip surrounding alleged infidelity. "I wasn’t going to talk about this tonight but while we’re talking about liars, the internet is a liar, too," he declared, encouraging fans to capture the moment. He continued, "Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends. Nobody cheated on nobody."
"That will be my best friend forever. This will be the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you baby. Thank you for those 10 years, they were incredible," he expressed, underscoring their enduring bond.
Meanwhile, Bunnie XO, who gained fame as a former OnlyFans star, also offered her perspective on her podcast, Dumb Blonde. She painted a picture of a relationship full of love but marred by miscommunication. "He is my best friend. He’s always been my best friend," she emphasized, adding, "Even today, behind the scenes, your girl is still riding for that man."
Bunnie candidly revealed that a lapse in communication over the past year-and-a-half contributed to their decision to part ways. "We were the type of couple who never argued … He would be holding things in and I would be holding things in, and it was a recipe for disaster," she explained.
Despite the emotional challenges, both Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO seem committed to maintaining a positive relationship post-divorce. Bunnie recounted a pivotal argument on Mother’s Day that escalated to her suggesting divorce in frustration. "I ended up leaving. I packed a bag and I left," she recalled, noting that it was a wakeup call for both parties.
Ultimately, although the divorce process was initiated, Bunnie stressed that it was not a mutual decision, but rather a necessary step for personal growth. "My husband and I are ending this marriage on the best possible terms that you could ever have a divorce," she concluded, highlighting their dedication to a respectful and amicable separation.
