Jelly Roll speaks out about his divorce from Bunnie Xo: 'Nobody cheated on nobody'
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK: Jelly Roll has finally broken his silence after filing for divorce from Bunnie Xo. The country singer took the legal step against his wife of nearly ten years in May.
The Grammy winner and the podcaster tied the knot in 2016 and co-parent Jelly’s two children — Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy — from his previous relationships.
Jelly Roll says he and Bunnie Xo 'will always be best friends'
“This is the only time and the only city I’m gonna speak about this, so break your camera phones out now,” Jelly told his audience at the Saratoga Springs, New York, stop of his Little A** Shed Tour on Thursday, June 18, night.
The 41-rapper said, “Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends,” as he asserted that she’ll “probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her.”
Adding the cheating rumors, Jelly added that “nobody cheated on nobody” in the marriage.
The ‘Son of a Sinner’ hitmaker then went on to mention Bunnie’s ‘Dumb Blonde’ podcast, where she addressed their divorce.
“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. Bunnie, I love you, baby,” he claimed.
Bunnie Xo reveals she and Jelly Roll are 'still having a baby together'
Jelly’s response came as Bunnie shared her own side of the story on her podcast. The media producer surprisingly claimed that, though their marriage has ended, they are "still having a baby together."

We're going to co-parent together,” Bunnie stated, as she asserted, “J is my best friend. Nobody cheated on the other person. It's literally just we served our purpose for each other.”
“Our future is so much more important and being happy and healthy and best friends through this is probably the biggest gift that we could have given each other,” the 46-year-old added.
Bunnie Xo had asked Jelly Roll to file for divorce 'out of anger and frustration'
During the podcast, Bunnie also disclosed the exact moment that led to the divorce filing.
“On Mother's Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary. And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, 'Well, then file the f**king divorce papers,’” she recalled.
However, she was not expecting that the songwriter would actually file it. “It was not mutual. Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and frustration. But was it necessary for us to have a wakeup call and to actually start having these real conversations? Absolutely,” the podcast host added.
