Bunnie Xo finally approached her bomb divorce from Jelly Roll after 10 years of marriage.
“J and I were never really good at disagreeing. So we were the type of couple that never argued. So he’d keep things in. I’d keep things in and that’s a recipe for disaster,” Bunnie said on Thursday’s episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast.
“We always preach that you have to be comfortable having the uncomfortable conversations, and we did that for eight years. So the last year and a half we kind of got away from that because we’re in a different life right now.”
Bunnie continued, recalling their last argument that went down on Mother’s Day, where she told him to “file the f-king divorce papers.”
“On Mother’s Day, we had a little argument that I don’t think the details are necessary. And in that argument, I was so tired and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, file the f-king divorce papers,'” she said.
“In our relationship, that’s the one cardinal thing you don’t say, even though my husband has said it numerous times,” she noted. “But when I say it, it really carries weight because I’m not the type to say what I don’t mean.”
The conversation ended with Bunnie packing a bag and leaving the Grammy winner, she said.
The “Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic” host added that their IVF journey had also taken a toll on their marriage.
“For the last two years, when we decided to have a baby, I had to do IVF. My hat goes off to every woman, family, couple that goes through IVF because let me tell you something dude, it’s one of the loneliest, darkest journeys you’ll be on,” she said, noting that the process “completely destroyed” her.
“Yes, everyone can see the reward at the end, but it’s not all bells and whistles. It’s not a pretty journey,” Bunnie continued. “It destroyed me emotionally, spiritually, physically. It was so hard on me that in the last year and a half I became a shell of the person I was because I’m doing this IVF journey. I’m fighting hard just to know you’ll be able to produce enough eggs to make a baby with my husband, especially at my age.”
The process was made more difficult when she revealed that Jelly Roll “had a low sperm count,” so “he had to get a lot of hormones and a whole lot of medication that made him a nightmare to be around.”
Bunnie went on to reveal that the couple have “lost four embryos” through their experience.
“We’ve had three transfers, but we lost the two twins that we were going to try for, and then we lost the other two. And anybody who goes through that and has to deal with these miscarriages, it’s gut-wrenching. It’s so heartbreaking,” she admitted.
On Monday came the news that Jelly Roll, 41, quietly pulled the plug about his and Bunnie Xo’s marriage on May 18, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split, Page Six confirmed.
The country singer filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, where he and the “Dumb Blonde” podcast host, 46, lived together.
The exes agreed to divide their assets and debts.
Movers were photographed outside the estranged couple’s home in Tennessee Monday, though it’s unclear whose items were packed together.

Eagle-eyed fans on social media also noticed that he has ditched his ring since around February or March.
As for Bunnie, born Alisa DeFord, she compared exes to trash cans in a cheeky video of herself wearing a revenge suit, with the caption: “Intuition when it doesn’t add up.”
Additionally, the internet personality shared a photo of herself posing in lingerie shortly before news of their split broke.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2016, but they briefly split in 2018.
They later reconciled and renewed their vows in 2023.
