Bunnie Xo has unveiled a new tattoo featuring lyrics from Fleetwood Mac's song “Silver Springs” following her divorce from rapper Jelly Roll [1, 2].
The ink serves as a public marker of a personal transition for the 46-year-old singer [1]. By choosing a lyric from a well-known breakup song, Xo signals a shift in her personal identity and emotional state after the end of a long-term partnership.
Xo posted the tattoo to Instagram on July 30, 2023 [5]. The design features the phrase “time cast a spell on you,” a line from the track “Silver Springs” [1, 2]. The work was completed at the shop of artist Jeremy Lifsey [3].
The tattoo follows the legal conclusion of her marriage. The divorce was finalized on July 17, 2023 [1], following a separation that occurred on May 9, 2023 [1]. The couple had been together for nearly 10 years [4].
Xo said the tattoo marks a new era in her life and fits into a broader trend among her close friends. She said the ink is part of a “squad” tattoo movement where her group obtained matching tattoos of things special to them [2, 3].
Despite the legal separation, Xo indicated that the relationship remains amicable. “J and I have been together going on 10 years and he is my best friend,” Xo said [4].
““time cast a spell on you””
The use of 'Silver Springs' lyrics—a song famously about lingering longing and resentment—contrasts with Xo's statement that her ex-husband remains her best friend. This suggests a complex emotional processing of the divorce, utilizing public art and social media to curate the narrative of her 'new era' while maintaining a public image of mutual support.
