As fans continue to treat it surprisingly Jelly Roll-Bunnie Xo splitAnother worrying detail has emerged from the couple’s difficult month.
Days before the news of his divorce became public, Jelly Roll revealed that he had been hospitalized while on tour with Post Malone.
Fortunately, the medical scare does not appear to have been too serious. But it was enough to force the singer off the stage during a concert, something that rarely happens.
In a TikTok video shared on June 11, Jelly Roll — whose real name is Jason DeFord — explained that he spent time in a Charlotte-area hospital after battling a severe sinus infection.
“So I went to the hospital last night in Charlotte, North Carolina,” the singer told fans.
According to Jelly Roll, the infection left him visibly swollen and struggling to perform.
“I was swollen in the face,” he explained, adding that doctors treated him with steroids before helping him return to the stage.
The singer praised the hospital staff for getting him well enough to continue the tour.
He also revealed that Post Malone reached out with an unexpected gesture after learning about his condition.
According to Jelly Roll, his traveling companion sent a large bouquet of flowers along with a note wishing him a speedy recovery.
The singer was clearly touched by the act of kindness.
The admission came just a week before the news broke Jelly Roll had filed for divorce from Bunnie.
Court documents show the singer approached Tennessee on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing reportedly lists May 9 as the couple’s separation date.
The split stunned many fans, especially since the couple was still gushing about their relationship as recently as a few months ago.
In recent months, Jelly Roll and Bunnie had discussed their marriage, their shared faith, and even their plans to expand their family through IVF and surrogacy.
Sources have since claimed that growing lifestyle differences and rising tensions contributed to the breakup.
Neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO have publicly addressed the divorce filing in detail.
For now, fans are left hoping that both can navigate this painful chapter — and that Jelly Roll’s recent health issues are behind him.
