Jelly Roll addressed his May 2026 divorce from Bunnie Xo during a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York, insisting they remain “best friends,” denying cheating, and pushing back hard at online speculation while Bunnie Xo previously claimed the split began afte
Jelly Roll didn’t wait for a quiet moment to answer the internet. During a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York, he stepped in front of the crowd and fired back at the rumors swirling around his divorce from Bunnie Xo.
He told the audience it would be the only time he would speak about the decision—and he framed it as a direct response to misinformation spreading online. “I wasn’t gonna talk about this tonight, but while we’re talking about liars, the internet is a liar, too!. It’s the only time and the only city I’m gonna speak about this. so break your camera phones out now. ” he said.
From there, Jelly Roll returned to a theme of friendship. “Me and my wife are best friends, we will always be best friends. We just got off the phone earlier today. Nobody cheated on nobody; she just did a whole podcast about it. You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth. That will be my best friend forever. This is the only time I will ever speak about it.”.
He added that he “loved” Bunni, and he thanked her for what he described as a decade of marriage. “Thank you for the next 10 years of friendship and 20 beyond that,” he said.
The pushback matters because, behind the scenes, Bunnie Xo has been portraying the split differently. In her comments on the Dumb Blonde podcast, she said the divorce was not a mutual decision. She described getting “so fed up and so tired” after an argument and telling Jelly to “file the f*****g divorce papers.”.
She also said that while they had discussed divorce over the years. this time she packed a bag and left—and was surprised when Jelly actually filed. According to that same account. Jelly Roll filed for divorce in May 2026. with the separation date listed as May 9. a day before their alleged fight on Mother’s Day.
Jelly Roll’s public remarks landed in contrast to the rumor cycle that has followed the split. Even with the noise, he insisted the relationship’s core remains intact. “Me and my wife are best friends,” he said again, making clear that co-parenting is still part of the plan.
Bunnie Xo has said they plan to have a child together and that they will co-parent.
For now, the most visible shift is the volume. Onstage in Saratoga Springs, Jelly Roll made it clear he isn’t looking to debate his private life again—calling the internet’s story a lie, then closing the door on the conversation with a promise that this was the only time he would speak about it.

Internet is a liar, sure, but he sure talked a lot anyway.
Wait so he’s saying no cheating happened but also she did a whole podcast?? I can’t keep up. Sounds like both of them are just going back and forth with different versions.
He said “only time” he’ll talk about it and then the article is like 900 paragraphs lol. Also the separation date being May 9 like… a day before Mother’s Day?? That’s kinda wild. Doesn’t mean he cheated, but it definitely means somebody was mad.
I don’t even know these people but anytime someone says “best friends forever” it’s usually damage control. Plus the part where she said she told him to file?? I’m pretty sure that proves he was the problem, idk. Rumors get started because they keep making it sound like a fight, not like normal grown up stuff.
