Bunnie Xo and country music star Jelly Roll are divorcing after 10 years of marriage [2] but will co-parent their unborn child.
The split of the high-profile couple marks a significant transition for the pair, who have long been public about their relationship and mutual support in their respective careers.
Bunnie Xo discussed the separation on her "Dumb Blonde" podcast on June 18, 2024 [3]. She said that the couple intends to remain close despite the legal end of their marriage. "We're going to co-parent together," Xo said [1].
The divorce filing occurred on May 18, 2024 [1]. According to the couple, a conflict on Mother’s Day served as a wake-up call, signaling that they no longer served each other in the roles of husband and wife [4, 5].
Jelly Roll expressed his continued affection for Xo following the announcement. "That will be my best friend forever," he said. "This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you baby."
An unnamed source cited by MSN described the couple's dynamic as complicated, saying that while the two still love each other, they are no longer on the same page [3]. The decision to divorce comes as the couple prepares for the arrival of their first child together.
Despite the legal separation, Xo said that the bond between her and the singer remains intact as they navigate their new roles as co-parents.
“"We're going to co-parent together."”
The separation of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo highlights a modern shift in celebrity relationships where legal divorce does not necessarily equate to a total severance of emotional or familial ties. By prioritizing a co-parenting relationship for their unborn child, the couple is attempting to maintain a stable support system despite the collapse of their marital structure.
