Rapper Jelly Roll and singer-songwriter Bunnie Xo have reached a confidential settlement to finalize their divorce [1].
The split marks the end of a high-profile partnership between two influential figures in the music industry who often collaborated professionally. Their agreement addresses the division of significant wealth, and personal plans for the future.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18, 2026 [1]. In the court filing, he said "irreconcilable differences" were the reason for the separation [1]. The couple had been married for 10 years [1].
Terms of the confidential settlement include the division of multiple high-value assets, such as an aircraft, several cars, homes, and music intellectual property [2]. Bunnie Xo is set to receive a one-time lump-sum payment, though the specific amount remains undisclosed [2].
Despite the legal resolution, the nature of the split remains a point of contention. While some reports suggested the couple presented a united front, Bunnie Xo said the divorce was not mutual and that Jelly Roll rejected therapy [3].
The separation has also drawn outside scrutiny. Nicole Arbour said the situation would create a PR scandal [4]. Other observers have suggested the divorce could be a publicity stunt, though this contradicts the official court filings [1, 4].
Beyond the financial terms, the settlement includes shared plans for future parenthood via surrogacy [1]. This agreement allows the former couple to maintain a parental connection despite their legal separation.
“"The divorce was not mutual and Jelly rejected therapy."”
The inclusion of a surrogacy agreement within a divorce settlement is an uncommon legal arrangement that suggests a desire to maintain a co-parenting relationship despite the breakdown of the marriage. The contrast between the official filing of 'irreconcilable differences' and Bunnie Xo's claims regarding rejected therapy indicates a lingering personal conflict that may persist despite the finalized financial division of their assets.
