Jelly Roll’s divorce from Bunnie Xo has moved from court records to social media, where fans noticed a visible change on the country star’s Instagram profile.
The singer, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, removed Bunnie Xo’s name and handle from his Instagram bio after news surfaced that he had filed for divorce in Tennessee. TMZ noted the change Tuesday night, while Page Six said the profile now describes him simply as “Music Man.”
The edit drew attention because Jelly Roll and Bunnie had made their marriage part of their public story for years. The bio change did not delete their full online history, but it gave fans one of the clearest public signs that the split had moved beyond paperwork.
The Instagram Change Drew Immediate Attention
Jelly Roll has not publicly explained the divorce filing, and Bunnie Xo has not issued a direct statement about the case. That silence made the profile edit louder than it might have been otherwise, especially with fans already watching both accounts for signs of what would happen next.
Page Six noted that he had not deleted past photos with Bunnie from his Instagram grid. The change was narrower than a full social media scrub, but removing her name from the bio still marked a visible shift for a couple whose relationship had long been part of his public identity.
The Court Filing Set the Timeline
People confirmed that Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on May 18 after nearly 10 years of marriage. The filing listed the couple’s separation date as May 9 and cited irreconcilable differences.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo, legally Alisa DeFord, met in 2015 at one of his shows in Las Vegas. They married in 2016 after he proposed onstage and later renewed their vows in 2023 at the same chapel.
The filing surprised fans partly because the couple had still been speaking publicly about their future earlier this year, including their IVF journey and hopes of expanding their family.
Bunnie Xo Has Posted, but Not Explained the Split
Bunnie Xo has returned to social media since the divorce filing, but her posts have not included a direct explanation of the breakup. People covered a TikTok she shared about “women’s intuition” and things that “don’t add up,” along with other posts fans have read as hints about the split.
One of those posts included a lingerie photo with the text, “She’s getting her sparkle back.” Another showed a romantic text screenshot. The posts have fueled speculation, but neither Bunnie nor Jelly Roll has said those updates explain why the marriage ended.
The Split Follows Years of Public Ups and Downs
The divorce landed after years of very public devotion and very public strain. Jelly Roll thanked Bunnie from the Grammy stage in 2026, crediting her as part of the life change that helped him reach that moment, while the couple had also spoken openly about past struggles, including his 2018 affair and a brief separation.
A source told People that the two still love each other but were no longer aligned about their future. The confirmed court record remains limited: Jelly Roll filed on May 18, the separation date is listed as May 9, and neither side has given a full public explanation.
