In a candid “Dumb Blonde” episode on June 19, 2026, Bunnie XO described a Mother’s Day blowup with Jelly Roll as the moment she told him to file for divorce—an ultimatum that, she says, wasn’t mutual even as the couple continues an IVF journey together.
Bunnie XO didn’t expect her Mother’s Day fight with Jelly Roll to become the line that changed everything—until it did.
On Thursday night, during her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, posted June 19, 2026, Bunnie recalled an argument with the country star that left her “so fed up and so tired.” In that moment, she said she told him to “file the f**ing divorce papers.”
She explained why the words carried weight. Jelly Roll has spoken before about wanting to get divorced “numerous times” during their nearly 10-year marriage, but Bunnie said the difference this time was that she wasn’t throwing out empty talk. “I’m not the type of person who says what I don’t mean.”
The argument ended with Bunnie packing a bag and leaving. She said they didn’t speak for weeks.
Then, to her surprise, Jelly followed through on the suggestion.
Their split was confirmed as Jelly filed for divorce in Tennessee in May, citing irreconcilable differences. In the filing, their separation date was listed as May 9—just a day before Bunnie described their blowout Mother’s Day fight.
Bunnie said in the podcast that the divorce wasn’t mutual. Even so, she revealed the couple still plan to have a child together and are continuing their ongoing, difficult IVF journey.
That same Thursday night, Jelly addressed the breakup at his show in Saratoga Springs, New York. He told the crowd that he and Bunnie are still “best friends” and suggested she may be the only woman he ever loves.
But “best friends” hasn’t kept the dating rumors quiet. On her podcast, Bunnie said Jelly has started seeing new people—while she added that she “totally” supports him.
The timeline is now hard to ignore: Bunnie described an argument that pushed her to demand divorce. the filing listed a separation date the day before that Mother’s Day blowup. and both sides are now publicly threading together friendship language. parenting plans. and a shared IVF future—without agreeing on what the split really was.
