The idea that Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie Xo are getting divorced seems ridiculous.
but it is not the truth. In fact, the country star and his influencer wife have been through some major ups and downs in their marriage.
In fact, after two years of marriage, divorce seemed to be the only solution to their problems.
So, what’s up with the famous couple now? Let’s take a closer look.
Jelly Roll’s pre-marriage love life
Their love story is the stuff of music fans’ fantasies.
The adorable couple first met at a show at the Jelly Roll in Las Vegas in 2016. When you know it, you know it!
This is the Christian country singer’s first serious relationship since leaving his ex-girlfriend Felicia, the mother of his only child Bailee.
The romance was a whirlwind that continued while he was working in the drug trade and in prison.
But the two never married, and it took eight years after his daughter was born to get serious about social media creator and influencer Bunnie Xo.
Everything seemed happy—until it wasn’t.
Jelly Roll: How he avoided divorce from Bunnie Xo
Longtime fans may remember how Jelly Roll and Bunnie split in 2018, just two years into their marriage.
While Bonnie recounted the entire ordeal in her YouTube video, it was never clear what the initial catalyst for the breakup was.
The most obvious assumption was infidelity, which fans debated a lot over the coming days/weeks/months/years. Sources on Reddit claimed that the two had an open marriage, but that Jelly Roll hooked up with someone without telling Bunnie.
This led to a split that resulted in Bonnie moving to Las Vegas.
But the jelly roll caught up with her, and that made all the difference.
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll “rebuilding” their marriage
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and for them, it gives the lovebirds some sense.
Jelly Roll follows Bonnie to Vegas as they find a way to forgive and forget what happened.
“Who knew we would break up in 2018, I would move back to Vegas, and you would pick me up – which would set us on a wild ride called life,” she wrote in the video posted on TikTok .
“We finally made a commitment to each other and fulfilled everything we promised each other that first night in 2016. Our sandcastle must come down so we can rebuild on solid ground. I like you so much…”
This promise remains valid to this day!
Today’s couple: couldn’t be happier
“Imagine having everything you never thought would happen happen to you, coming from where I’m from, and then getting to do it all and share every experience with your best friend and your wife.”
Ahead of the 2024 CMT Music Awards, this is how Jelly described his marriage to Bunnie — six years after they split.
Today, the couple is better and more in love than ever, showing their devotion to each other every chance they get.
But Jerry admits he almost lost something very special and has put in “efforts” to ensure something like this never happens again.
“It’s not always Hallmark cards and Care Bears, we have to really put in a lot of work to be together,” he added. “It’s worth it. Every second is worth it. Every disagreement is worth it, every split is worth it. All roads point to the North Star, which is love.
As for where they stand at the moment: “We’re in an easy phase right now,” he admits.
